COSRX-focused skincare routine for dry skin
A routine for dry skin built around COSRX products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.
Cleansers, toners, serums, and moisturizers with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides help add moisture and ease tightness and dehydration, while enzyme powders with papain help lift away flakiness. Moisturizers and serums with ceramides and niacinamide help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
The morning routine prepares the skin for the day: it cleans off the night, hydrates, and protects, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while it rests away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds the deeper steps.
