COSRX-focused skincare routine for dry sensitive skin
A routine for dry sensitive skin built around COSRX products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.
Cleansers, makeup removers, and moisturizers with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, ceramides, jojoba seed oil, and sunflower seed oil help ease dryness, tightness, and flakiness while supporting the skin barrier. Soothing toners, masks, and serums with centella asiatica extract, licorice root extract, niacinamide, and bifida ferment lysate help calm redness and 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 to target flakiness, tightness, redness, fine lines, and wrinkles.
