COSRX-focused skincare routine for dry skin

Routine by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

A routine for dry skin built around COSRX products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.

Cleansers, toners, and moisturizers with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides help lock in moisture and ease tightness and flakiness. Serums and masks with niacinamide and panthenol help smooth fine lines and soften dry skin.

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 makeup, sunscreen, 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 to add deeper steps that help combat dryness and fine lines.
