I'm looking for a lightweight essence or serum.

Lately, my skin feels much drier than before, so I'm thinking about switching to an essence, serum, or ampoule. 🥲
I used to just keep it simple with toner and lotion, but lately my inner dryness has been so severe that I feel like I need to pay a little more attention to my skincare routine.

Especially after washing my face, my skin feels tight quickly, and my makeup often looks cakey, so I feel like I need a product to replenish moisture. However, if I use products that are too rich, my skin feels stuffy and I tend to get breakouts, so I'm a bit worried about using just anything.

Essences, serums, and ampoules all look similar, but I think it's even harder to choose because their textures and functions differ. 🤔 I hear that some absorb lightly but lack moisturizing power, while others provide good nourishment but leave a sticky residue, so it's not easy to pick.

I've heard that products with both moisturizing and soothing functions are good these days, so I've been looking into that, but I'm also debating whether I should use a product that offers brightening or skin texture improvement.
I'm not sure if it's better to focus on using just one function or to use a product with multiple features.

I usually dislike stickiness, so I tend to prefer types that absorb quickly and feel fresh 🙂 Still, I would like it to feel like it moisturizes deep inside.

If you happen to know of any essences, serums, or ampoules that are suitable for sensitive skin types like mine that are dry from within, please let me know! If you could also share your actual reviews or thoughts on the products, I’ll take them into consideration when making my selection. 😊
