Toners for Dry Skin

Dry skin loves toners with a milky, essence-like texture which is extra hydrating. These toners not only prep the skin for the next steps but also provide an initial burst of moisture.

Recommendations:

Neogen Dermatology Hyal Glow Rose Essence Toner: A hydrating toner with a creamy texture that deeply nourishes and softens dry skin.

Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotic Barrier Essence Toner: Infused with fermented black rice, this toner strengthens the skin barrier while delivering a soothing, moisturizing effect - one of my all time favourites.

Serums and Ampoules for Dry Skin

Ampoules are a concentrated way to target dryness and reinforce your skin's barrier. I love layering one or two ampoules to really hydrate dry skin and provide long-lasting comfort.

Recommendations:

Manyo Factory Bifida Biome Complex Ampoule: Packed with bifida ferment lysate, this ampoule strengthens the skin's microbiome and provides deep hydration.

Nacific Uyu Cream Ampoule: A creamy ampoule that hydrates intensely, making it perfect for layering with other moisturizing products.

Moisturizers for Dry Skin

Im sure that you don't need me to tell you this, but rich and nourishing moisturizers are an absolute must for dry skin. Creams with barrier-repairing ingredients like ceramides and snail mucin can lock in hydration and protect the skin from external irritants.

Recommendations:

Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream: A soothing cream that calms dry, sensitive skin while delivering long-lasting moisture.

Purito Dermide Relief Barrier Moisturizer: Strengthens the skin barrier with ceramides and centella asiatica, perfect for repairing dry, irritated skin.

Dr.G Black Snail Cream: Combines snail mucin and botanical extracts to deeply nourish and rejuvenate dry skin.

Dr. Oracle CeramaBarrier Facial Cream: A ceramide-rich cream that helps repair the skin barrier and locks in moisture.

Dr.G Red Blemish Clear Soothing Cream: Ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin, this cream hydrates while calming redness and irritation.

Pro Tip: For extra hydration, you can layer two moisturizers by applying the lighter one first, followed by the thicker cream to seal in moisture.

Conclusion

By combining hydrating toners, nourishing ampoules, and rich moisturizers, you can create a routine that quenches dry skin’s thirst and keeps it healthy, soft, and radiant. Adjust your layers based on your skin’s needs, and don’t hesitate to double up on products during harsh weather or when your skin feels particularly dry.

Happy hydrating!
