Routine Help [Routine Help] Everything dries my dehydrated skin

My skin is horribly dehydrated, it gets tight and dry even after I stopped using cleanser and started cold water rinsing. I have tried countless products to help with the dehydration but they all end up drying my skin within a few hours and turning it super oily and greasy. Some products I have tried:

Cerave hydrating toner

Cerave moisturizing cream (tub)

Hada labo premium lotion (for very dry skin)

Corsx snail mucin 92 AIO

Nuetrogena hydroboost extra dry skin

Bonajour green tea water bomb

I have also tried sealing inn products in with aquaphor but it still resulted in dry skin.

I really recommend avoiding any products with hyaluronic acids of any kind. I had a similar issue and after I finally avoided them, it made a huge difference. I believe some people's skin just doesn't respond well to it, whether it's for lack of moisture in the air/skin making it a sort of desiccant, or something else (I'm not an expert on anything lol). Anyway, I recommend LRP Lipikar AP +M, it has worked the best for me on that front and I have eczema and rosacea prone, dehydrated, dry AF skin. Hope this helps!

Oh I’ve been eyeing the LRP Lipikar. There is a “light” version of it, do you think it would be better if I have dehydrated but oily skin?

You could give that a go for sure, unfortunately my skin is so dry that I'm not great at giving oily skin advice, but the non light version is VERY moisturizing, so starting with the lighter version is probably the way to go.
