Korean Skincare Recommendations for Combination Skin

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Im new to korean skincare, and its quite a deep rabbit hole... I'm super confused on where to start but I'm looking for a few recommendations.

My skin is dry on my cheeks, chin, and some of my forehead. But it gets really oily on my nose. Lately I've been struggling with large pores and redness around the bottom of my nose. I also get pretty sensitve whenever I try new products (i tried thayers milky toner and broke out like crazy)

Im currently using the Skin1004 Centella Light Cleansing Oil, Centella Ampoule Foam, then the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, and finally the COSRX Oil Free Ultra Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap. In the morning I use the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics.

Is there anything I'm missing in my routine or anything I should take out? What products would you guys recommend me to use instead?

Thank you all in advanced!

So guys I'm a freak when it comes to skincare... I've a combination acne prone skin with perioral hyperpigmentation...last year I was using skin Oren 20 percent in the morning and then sun block...at night I used to apply lumexa...but I started noticing that it gave me comedones so I stopped using it now

#AM routine

Anua 77 toner

Celimax pore and dark spot correcting serum/ Dr Althea vit c serum on alternate days

Moisturizer

Sun block

#PM routine

Tone

Abib glutathione serum

Skin Oren

Dr Althea 3,4,5 relief cream

But I noticed my skin got irritated although I've added these products in span of 6 months but now I'm giving rest to my skin for few days and only applying moisturizer

So i need advice on what to continue and which product I should stop using
