Korean Skincare Routine for Dry Skin

Dry skin often feels tight, flaky, or rough because it naturally produces less oil and struggles to retain moisture. Korean skincare is ideal for dry skin because it layers hydration, supports the moisture barrier, and locks in nourishment with every step. Using key ingredients like Ceramides, Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, and Cica, Dr.Jart+ products help restore softness, comfort, and long-lasting hydration.
