Looking for fragrance-free skincare recommendations for dry, sensitive skin
Hi everyone!
I’m in my early 20s, based in Germany and I’m currently trying to transition away from Korean skincare. I’m looking for European/non-Korean products that are fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin.
Skin type:
— dry-combination (leans very dry, especially in winter)
— sensitive skin with a slightly damaged skin barrier
— no active acne anymore
Skin concerns:
— persistent post inflammatory erythema (PIE) from old acne (flat red marks that have been there for ~3 years)
— a few closed comedones on my forehead
— dryness/dehydration
— dark circles (not my main concern)
Current routine
AM
Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner
Rhode Glazing Milk
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun SPF50+ / Skin 1004 Hyalu Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum
PM
Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner
The Inkey List Azelaic Acid (1–2x/week)
Rhode Barrier Butter
The azelaic acid stings for about 5 minutes after application (especially if my skin is still damp), but it doesn’t leave my skin irritated afterward.
I’m looking for recommendations for:
— a hydrating toner (to replace Haruharu Wonder)
— a comfortable everyday SPF50+ for dry/sensitive skin (I’m planning to buy La Roche-Posay UVMune 400 for beach/outdoor use, but I’d like something lighter for daily wear.)
— products that have helped with persistent PIE without irritating sensitive skin
Has anyone with a similar skin type found products they love?
Thanks! 😊
