An ampoule cream combination for inner dryness and acne scars recommended by an editor with sensitive, dry skin.

Hello! I am an editor with a skin type that is combination, oily, and sensitive!!

As the dry season approaches, inner dryness is a given, and red marks easily appear on my skin even from minor irritation, so I am paying a lot of attention to my basic skincare... I am introducing three ampoule/cream combinations that I have personally tried and felt were the perfect prescription for me—combinations that "kill inner dryness, soothe, and blemishes"!

 

1. 🌊 Kill Inner Dryness! Moisture Booster Ampoule: [Wellage] Real Hyaluronic Blue 100 Ampoule

If your skin feels severely tight deep inside after washing your face in this dry weather, I highly recommend trying this ampoule! The Wellage Real Hyaluronic Blue 100 Ampoule is a must-have for combination, dehydrated skin like mine. It contains hyaluronic acid that acts as a moisture booster, rapidly reaching 30 layers deep into the skin without feeling heavy. Personally, I could feel the serum being refreshing, so it felt great to apply.

With its transparent, watery texture, it spreads smoothly and absorbs completely into the skin without any stickiness. I tend to apply it immediately after cleansing to address inner dryness, and it seems to improve the absorption of subsequent products as well! Since the weather is getting colder these days, I’ve been applying the Wellage Real Hyaluronic Blue 100 Ampoule twice, and perhaps thanks to that, my makeup doesn't cake or look cakey!

 

2. 🌿 Red Mark Care! Madecassoside Ampoule: [Mediheal] Madecassoside Mark Repair Serum

Now that you've tackled inner dryness, it's time to manage the red marks that have appeared on sensitive skin!! Since I used to have severe acne, I find myself choosing gentle products and those effective for treating blemishes when looking at cosmetics! The Mediheal Madecassoside Blemish Repair Serum contains Madecassoside and Niacinamide, which are said to help soothe skin blemishes and improve light dark spots.

Niacinamide suited me really well when I was having a lot of breakouts in the past, so I am using this product without hesitation. I am applying it intensively to the red, inflamed acne scars, and while I haven't seen dramatic changes yet, I am satisfied because it seems to be helping to even out my skin tone. I recommend the Mediheal Madecassoside Scar Repair Serum to those with sensitive skin concerned about blemishes!!

 

3. 🧅 Build a strong barrier! Onion Soothing Cream: [Isntree] Onion New Pear Gel Cream

The final step is a soothing cream that firmly locks in the skin barrier, which I bought during the Olive Young sale last month! The Isntree Onion New Pear Gel Cream is a cream containing red onion extract. It is said to be a dual-functional cosmetic that helps improve skin blemishes and protect the skin barrier, and I bought it out of curiosity because a YouTuber really loved it a while ago.

But perhaps because it's a gel cream, it feels lighter yet heavier than I expected. I make sure to apply it as the final step when I want to care for blemishes and strengthen my skin barrier. It feels like it creates a light yet firm moisture film, so if I apply a generous amount before bed, my skin feels comfortable until the next morning. Also, since I've been using it comprehensively like that, I feel like the redness I get after applying the Isntree Onion New Pear Gel Cream has decreased as well. Everyone, have a day where you protect your skin in this cold weather!!
