Agree! I came home from Seoul with a bag full of skincare and the Aestura cream is my favorite purchase of all. I have sandpaper texture from my rosacea and this stuff works great. I use this as my daytime moisturizer. For nighttime, I double moisturize with a different barrier cream and then top it all with Avene Cicalfate because my skin loves zinc. Besides Cicalfate, you could conclude your skincare with a Korean sleeping pack like the one from Purito.

I like the CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream. I was also desperate for something extra moisturizing in the winter and invested in a couple of La Mer products. I loved the La Mer "The Renewing Oil" but it broke me out. My derm suggested CeraVe and it has been just as moisturizing without the breakouts (and a fraction of the price).

Dr. Jart - thick but not greasy

I really like Belif's "The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb" -- it feels very hydrating without being oily

I just started using Aestura serum and face cream and it is amazing. Not very exciting, but deeply hydrating and didn't irritate my very sensitive skin. Amazing.

The Tatcha Dewy one keeps my face moisturized in the winter. Especially with a layer sunscreen (Supergoop or the TJs dupe).

If you don't mind the splurge, Sulwhasoo's ginseng line is amazing for mature skin that's on the dry side. Sephora usually carries a trial kit if you don't want to commit to full sizes.

I will add that I find the foaming cleanser a little drying, but the first care serum and the moisturizer are amazing.

I use Biossance omega repair cream at night during the winter when my skin gets super dry. It’s richer but absorbs better than Kiehl’s ultra cream.

I swear by Neocutis products ( Swiss brand). They were originally manufactured to heal the skin of burn victims so they are ultra nourishing. They are medical grade and have a much better efficacy than anything you’ll find at Sephora. They’re loaded with stem cells and have been a game changer for my skin.
For the best moisturizers, try their Bio Cream and for the eye cream, their Lumière eye cream is a best seller.
You can buy it on their website or on Dermstore. Many dermatologists and plastic surgeons sell it as well.

Try a face oil. Farmacy honey grail is amazing.

This stuff breaks me out and I don't typically break out. TETO.

Broke me out, too.

I don’t have one I love right now, but I always go back to LaRoche Posay ap+m triple repair at night each winter. I slather it on over my tretinoin and that gets me through.

Daytime I use LaRoche Posay’s dermallergo creame with an added scoop of TO’s vitamin c and a few drops TO squalene.

I recently bought l’occitane divine cream. But I also sometimes just use body cream in my face. Like eucerin or gold bond. Why not? It works.

Sephora is having 20% off right now and I always wait to get it on sale and stock up.

For body—CeraVe from Amazon. Not expensive.

do not buy lotion or cosmetics from Amazon! Unless you go to the "store page" and find it there, it's LIKELY counterfeit. Or continue to buy it there but don't complain when it smells weird, turned your skin black or has maggots in it.

Also, you don't need $$$$ lotions, neutrogena and cerave are the best.

Lots of cerave products have few kinds of drying alcohol in them..ew no.

Kiehls. I like the Midnight recovery, but the smell is strong so some people may not.
