COSRX-focused skincare routine for dry skin
A complete routine for dry skin built entirely from COSRX products.
Cleansers, toners, makeup removers, masks, and moisturizers with hyaluronic acid and glycerin help relieve tightness and dehydration. Serums and nourishing masks with niacinamide and ceramides help smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and flakiness.
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 and is away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week to add deeper steps that tackle flakiness and dehydration.

Products are rated for the concerns frequently associated with dry skin: flakiness, tightness, dehydration, fine lines, and wrinkles. For a routine based on your full skin profile, including your 12D face scan results and any goals or preferences you have, please use the Lovi app.
