Please recommend a lightweight yet moisturizing cream for the changing seasons.

Now that September has arrived, the midday heat is still intermittent, but the evening temperatures seem to have dropped. As I have combination skin that is oily and dehydrated, I always try to keep my skincare routine fresh year-round. However, as we are currently in the transitional period of the changing seasons, I have started to feel a slight dryness when I wake up.

 

 

undersong Basic skincare for the changing seasons This is my night routine. I usually follow a 3-4 step care routine: skin toner, serum, essence, ampoule, and cream.

 

 

1. In the skin/toner step, I used to mainly wipe with a watery formula or a pad, but lately I have been using a cream skin to provide moisture and nourishment while caring for my skin barrier.

 

 

 

2. Since I use functional products in the serum/essence/ampoule step, I rotate between the whitening, anti-wrinkle, pore, and firming lines.

 

 

 

 

3. Regarding lotions and creams, I went from a hydrating soothing cream to a moisturizing cream, and now I am using Estra Atobarrier 365 Lotion for skin barrier care. Since the lotion alone replenishes the skin with ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids, it helps strengthen the skin barrier. It also provides excellent hydration and perfectly suits my needs as I dislike heavy textures, so I have been using it well since last year.

 

 

 

I finish my skincare routine in these three steps. Finishing with just the Estra Atobarrier 365 Lotion usually provides just the right amount of hydration, but lately, when I touch my skin before bed, it feels like it's lacking moisture. As expected. Basic skincare for the changing seasons I realized I needed to add more products.

 

 

So, what I came up with is cream.

I am looking for something that maintains and strengthens the skin barrier without being too heavy.

Since I have combination skin, I end up not reaching for products with a thick and heavy texture.
