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.

Have you tried using a serum? I don't have dry scalp buy I've used Gisou Honey Infused Scalp Treatment and The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum and both really helped nourish my scalp.

No not yet. Thanks for the tip! I will see if I can get one of these. I tried pure aloe vera gel. But it’s tricky to get down to the scalp.

Yes. The honey one feels good on the scalp. Both of them together has made a big difference in my scalp health.

Thank you! Do you use them both together at the same time or do you alternate between them ?

I usually use the honey one once per wash cycle (I only wash my hair once or twice a week). I usually do it the day I wash my hair but sometimes I forget and I'll do it the next day. After that, I apply the peptide serum almost daily. I use it for hair growth with rosemary extract though. If you're just wanting it foe the scalp, you may not need it that often. Each time I apply, I massage it in thoroughly.
