Budget-friendly Brightening, and Darkspots
5 steps
Dry skin
This routine is a complete brightening and hydration powerhouse! It starts with a gentle cleanse, followed by milky rice extracts and a specialized serum to fade dark spots and restore your natural glow, while the rich cream and sunscreen protect your skin from further darkening and dryness.
How to use this routine
Use this routine daily, following the steps in order — let each product absorb for a moment before the next. If you’re new to active ingredients, introduce one at a time and patch-test first.
🌱 Your daily routine
- Cleanse — Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser 150mL. Massage onto damp skin, then rinse with lukewarm water.
- Apply — Tirtir Milk Skin Light 150ml. Apply an even layer and let it absorb.
- Apply — The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% 30mL. Apply an even layer and let it absorb. Introduce this gradually — a few times a week at first, not every day, until your skin adjusts.
- Moisturise — The Ordinary Moisturizing Factors + HA. Smooth over the face to seal in hydration.
- Protect — COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF50+. Your last morning step — smooth on generously and reapply through the day. Wear it every morning and reapply through the day — sun exposure undoes dark-spot and anti-aging progress.
Good to know: alternate strong actives rather than layering them all at once, moisturise well, and wear sunscreen every morning. If your skin feels irritated, cut back how often you use the actives and let it recover.
