Korean Gentle Acne and Barrier Complete Routine

Routine Overview

A complete five-step Korean skincare routine for acne-prone, sensitive and dehydrated skin that prioritises gentle pore cleansing, soothing hydration, barrier support and daily UV protection. The routine layers Cica-focused calming care beneath a lightweight ceramide moisturiser and hydrating sunscreen.

1. Routine benefits

Torriden Balanceful Cica Cleansing Gel helps remove daily impurities and excess sebum while providing gentle LHA-based exfoliating support. COSRX Pure Fit Cica Toner adds lightweight soothing hydration with its CICA-7 Complex, followed by the single-ingredient Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule for additional calming care. Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Soothing Gel helps maintain moisture without a heavy cream finish, while Skin1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum provides the essential final daytime UV protection step.

2. What results to expect (realistic)

With regular use, skin may feel calmer, more hydrated and less easily dehydrated after cleansing. The complexion may gradually appear smoother and more balanced, while consistent sunscreen use helps protect post-blemish marks from becoming more noticeable due to UV exposure.

How to Use

Use in the listed order from cleanser through sunscreen in the morning, and cleanser through moisturiser in the evening. Allow each lightweight layer to settle before applying the next.

Important notes

The Torriden cleanser contains LHA, so users with very reactive skin should introduce it gradually. Avoid vigorous scrubbing and excessive use of additional exfoliants if dryness develops.
