Skin Hydration
Hydration & Barrier
Autumn is tough on skin: wind, cold and dry indoor air raise TEWL. Keep it minimal — light hydrating serums and barrier creams that lock in water and strengthen lipids, without heaviness.
- Targets tightness, flaking, post-shave/reactive skin
- Key ingredients: hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid, ceramides, squalane, panthenol, beta-glucan, niacinamide
- Daily textures: fast-absorbing serums, emulsions and creams — zero stickiness
Routine: AM hydrating serum → barrier cream → SPF 50; PM gentle cleanse → calming serum/toner → ceramide cream.

- Barrier cream — light yet cushioning, with ceramides and squalane. Editor’s pick: Pyunkang Yul Calming Moisture Barrier Cream.

Ingredients that make a difference
Humectants (HA, PGA)
Bind water across layers for a full, “plumped” look without tackiness.
Ceramides + squalane
Lipid support for the barrier — less tightness, better moisture retention.
Niacinamide & Centella
Even tone and quick relief for reactive skin (madecassoside, asiaticoside).
Panthenol & beta-glucan
Comfort already at the cleansing/toning step.
Shea butter
Adds lipids without a heavy film (use in small amounts for dry season).
3 ready-to-go combos
“Comfort at cleanse”
ROUND LAB Cleanser → hydrating serum → barrier cream → SPF.
“SOS after exfoliation” (2–3×/week)
Cleanse → serum/toner → Hyalu-Cica Sleeping Pack for calm, bounce and a dewy morning.
“Ultra-simple AM”
Hydrating serum → light ceramide cream → SPF serum (fast, no white cast).
Common autumn mistakes (and how to avoid them)
- Over-cleansing: avoid soap/sulfate gels; choose low-pH syndet foams with caring agents.
- Skipping the cream: a serum alone won’t lock water — add lipids (ceramides, squalane).
- No SPF “because it’s cloudy”: UVA is daily; lightweight SPF serums make it easy.
