About the Duces de Rêvé Dry Skin Starter Edit
Building a skincare routine for dry-feeling skin can be confusing, especially when you’re choosing between different cleansers, hydrating layers and moisturising textures. This edit brings together five Korean skincare products to make that starting point simpler.
Curated by Duces de Rêvé, the Dry Skin Starter Edit pairs a cleansing milk and an optional foaming cleanse with a milky hydrating refiner, a lightweight soothing gel and daytime sunscreen. It is a considered introduction to layered hydration for skin that prefers lighter textures rather than a rich cream.
You don’t need to use both cleansers at every wash. Adjust your cleansing steps to what you need to remove and how your skin feels. If your skin is very dry or needs a richer finish, you may prefer an additional cream alongside the gel included here.
Your Dry Skin Starter Edit contains:
1 × Jumiso D-Panthenol Barrier Soothing Cleansing Milk 300ml
Start with a comfortable cleanse. Jumiso’s cleansing milk is designed to remove sunscreen and daily makeup without leaving skin feeling stripped. Its formula combines D-panthenol and ceramides with azulene and flaxseed oil, bringing together cleansing and moisturising care. The fragrance-free, colourant-free formula offers a milk texture for those who prefer an alternative to a foaming first cleanse.
Why it is in the edit:
- Removes sunscreen and daily makeup
- Contains D-panthenol, ceramides, azulene and flaxseed oil
- Designed to leave skin feeling hydrated rather than tight after cleansing
- Fragrance-free and colourant-free
1 × Anua Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Cleansing Foam 150ml
For those who enjoy a foaming cleanse, Anua’s formula brings together cleansing ingredients with glycerin and several forms of hyaluronic acid. Its ingredient list also includes panthenol, allantoin and ceramide NP. Lather with water, gently massage over the face and rinse thoroughly. Use it as your preferred cleansing step or after the cleansing milk when needed, rather than assuming dry skin needs a double cleanse morning and evening.
Why is it in the edit:
- A water-based, rinse-off foaming cleanser
- Contains glycerin and multiple forms of hyaluronic acid
- Also formulated with panthenol, allantoin and ceramide NP
- An optional second cleansing step, depending on your routine
1 × Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide Refiner 170ml
Add a milky layer of moisture after cleansing with Laneige’s Cream Skin Cerapeptide Refiner. This moisturising step combines glycerin and squalane with meadowfoam seed oil, ceramide NP and acetyl tetrapeptide-11. It offers a way to build hydration into your routine before applying the soothing gel, particularly when skin feels dry and you prefer layering lighter products.
Why is it in the edit:
- A moisturising, milky step after cleansing
- Contains glycerin, squalane and meadowfoam seed oil
- Formulated with ceramide NP and a peptide
- Layers before your gel or moisturiser
1 × Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Soothing Gel 175ml
Illiyoon’s Ceramide Ato Soothing Gel offers refreshing hydration in a lightweight gel texture. The formula features fermented ceramide and a sugar-beet-derived amino acid, and is designed to moisturise and soothe skin. Apply to cleansed and toned skin, adjusting the amount on dry-feeling areas. This is a gel rather than a rich cream; skin that needs more nourishment may benefit from a moisturiser layered over it.
Why is it in the edit:
- A lightweight alternative to richer moisturising textures
- Provides hydration with a refreshing finish
- Features fermented ceramide and a sugar-beet-derived amino acid
- Can be followed with a richer moisturiser when needed
1 × Cell Fusion C Laser UV Defense Sunscreen OTC 50ml
Complete your daytime routine with Cell Fusion C’s Laser UV Defense Sunscreen. Its formula combines zinc oxide with other UV-filtering ingredients, alongside moisturising glycerin, panthenol and ceramides. This is the sunscreen step in your edit, applied after your skincare and used according to the directions on its packaging.
Why is it in the edit:
- The daytime sunscreen step in your routine
- Combines zinc oxide with other UV-filtering ingredients
- Contains glycerin, panthenol and ceramides
- Contains fragrance; choose according to your individual tolerance
Each edit includes one of every product listed above. Introduce new products gradually and patch-test before use.
