Simplified & Effective Routine for Oily, Maturing Skin
A streamlined 5-step Korean skincare regimen works beautifully—especially with anti-aging enhancements.

Morning (Protect & Hydrate):
Double cleanse (PM only)—skip oil cleanser in morning; apply a light, water-based cleanser.
Hydrating toner—balancing without heaviness (think niacinamide or cica-based).
Anti-aging treatment/serum (like niacinamide, ginseng, snail mucin).
Light gel moisturizer—non-greasy, hydrating.
High-quality SPF—non-comedogenic, mattifying.

Evening (Renew & Repair):
Oil cleanser + water cleanser (double cleanse).
Gentle exfoliation 2–3 times/week (AHA/BHA toner).
Anti-aging serum (can include low-strength retinol or snail/ginseng).
Moisturizer—gel or light cream.
Optional: Eye cream or sheet mask for targeted nourishment.
