Despite using numerous products, are you not seeing any improvement? Maybe you could simplify your skincare regimen. Determine your unique skin type first, then follow a simple product-based regimen that emphasizes the necessities that are appropriate for your requirements. You just need to use fewer products and fewer steps to have that perfect complexion!

If you utilize a customized approach with the right product that meets your specific skin demands, such as AHC toner, AHC Aqualuronic Toner, or even AHC Hyaluronic Dewy Radiance Toner, you can do away with the necessity for a 10-step Korean skincare program.

How to Determine Your Type of Skin

Before cleansing your skin in the morning, take a sheet of blotting paper (they make determining your skin type easy) and gently pat it on your nose, cheek, forehead, and chin. Assess the amount of oil on the sheet by holding it up to the light.

Minimal or nonexistent oil? Your skin is dry.

Only half of the sheet has a little oil on it. Your skin is in balance.

A transparent sheet that has been drenched with oil? Your skin type is either mixed or oily.

Another thing you should be aware of is that you might still have sensitive skin, even if you have dry or oily skin. A common problem known as sensitive skin makes your complexion more prone to responses or inflammation than others. Flushing, tingling or itching, or easily developing a rash are some of the symptoms.

Always perform a patch test before using a new product to make sure you don't get rash. Apply a tiny quantity of the new product to your wrist's thin layer of skin, which serves as your test basis. Within the next fifteen minutes, watch for a reaction. If your skin turns a little pink but then goes back to its normal color, there’s nothing to worry about. A stronger reaction, on the other hand, suggests that you may be sensitive to a specific substance.

Are you prepared to encounter your ideal products? Choosing the appropriate skincare solutions—such as AHC Aqualuronic Hydrating Toner or the AHC Natural Essential Mask—for your needs is the next step after identifying your skin type.

1. CLEANSING FOAM
Cleansing your skin in the morning and at night is essential for healthy skin, regardless of your skin type. By washing your skin twice a day, you may get rid of environmental debris (such as pollutants and irritants) that has accumulated on your skin throughout the day in addition to makeup and extra oil.

In the morning, your dermatologist could advise a water-only cleaning if your skin is sensitive and dry. Following this advice helps people with dry, sensitive skin maintain the balance of their natural oils and avoid damaging the skin's barrier, both of which are essential for preventing dehydration.
At the end of the day, a thorough cleansing is the next crucial skincare procedure. By doing this, you can be confident that your face will be free of any traces of pollution, excess oil, and dirt.

AHC Premium Ex Hydra B5 Soothing Foam is a great way to start your skincare routine at night. Since it is a hypoallergenic cleanser that contains 95% high-purity derma-grade hyaluronic acid, we adore it. Additionally, 98% high-purity D-Panthenol (vitamin B5) is present to help seal in moisture and leave skin feeling and looking moisturized, supple, and plump.

2. TONER
Toning should be done in the morning and evening, just as cleansing, provided your skin can handle the product. You should absolutely include a toner in your Korean skincare regimen if you have oily or mixed skin.

After cleansing, it refines your skin, shrinks pores, and improves the skin's absorption of other skincare products. However, be aware that a toner with a high alcohol concentration may further dehydrate or irritate your skin if you have dry skin or have already suffered facial discomfort as a result of skin sensitivity.

To ensure that your skin benefits from tighter pores and is ready for subsequent product penetration without running the danger of dehydration, you can choose a moisturizing toner with a low alcohol content. Dermatologists created the potent moisturizing product AHC Premium Ex Hydra B5 Toner, which has a hypoallergenic formulation with high-purity, dermatologist-grade hyaluronic acids and vitamin B5 for a calming effect.

You may also consider AHC Aqualuronic Toner or AHC Hyaluronic Dewy Radiance Toner for deep hydration, depending on your skin’s unique condition.

3. SERUM
Serums are available in a variety of textures to accommodate varying skin types and preferences. Any successful anti-aging skincare regimen must include them.

AHC has developed powerful serums like AHC Peony Bright Luminous Serum and AHC Premium Ex Hydra B5 Soother, which deliver hydration, brightness, and anti-aging benefits.

4. SHEET MASK
Wear a mask whenever you like, whether it's morning, midday, or evening!

The AHC Premium Hydra Gold Foil Mask and AHC Brilliant Gold Mask are perfect indulgent options. These luxury masks, like the AHC Gold Foil Mask, deliver a concentrated boost of hydration and radiance, making them ideal before a big event.

5. MOISTURISER
Moisturizers are essential in locking in hydration. Products such as AHC Premium Ex Hydra B5 Cream and AHC Pure Real Eye Cream for Face help maintain skin suppleness while addressing fine lines.

6. SUN PROTECTION
Sunscreen is key to preventing premature aging. Aside from the popular AHC Natural Perfection Double Shield Sun Stick, you may also try the lightweight AHC Sun Cushion for convenient sun protection that fits into your makeup routine.

Additionally, AHC Aura Secret Tone Up provides both sun defense and a natural brightening finish, giving your skin a luminous, healthy look throughout the day.
