Routine Overview

A carefully balanced Korean trio for skin that feels dehydrated yet also looks rough, congested or uneven in texture. Instead of choosing between exfoliation and barrier care, this routine pairs a controlled AHA/BHA treatment toner with a ceramide-rich creamy toner and a substantial barrier moisturiser.

1. Routine benefits

This bundle helps improve the appearance of roughness and clogged pores while replenishing the lipids and moisture that dehydrated skin needs. Beauty of Joseon's AHA/BHA toner provides scheduled exfoliation, while Celimax and Aestura surround that treatment step with ceramides, peptides, panthenol, cholesterol and moisturising ingredients.

2. Why these products work well together

Exfoliation can make dehydrated skin feel uncomfortable when it is not paired with adequate barrier support. In this trio, the Green Plum toner is the occasional texture-refining step rather than the everyday hydration toner. Celimax provides daily moisture and barrier support, while Aestura seals everything in with a richer cream.

3. What results to expect (realistic)

With appropriately paced use, skin may feel softer, better moisturised and less rough while the appearance of uneven texture and pore congestion may gradually improve. Avoiding over-exfoliation is important for achieving the intended balance.

Who is this bundle best for?

Best suited to normal, dry, combination and dehydrated skin with roughness, dullness, flaky texture or mild congestion. It is also useful for customers who want exfoliation but find conventional acid-focused routines too drying.

How to Use

Begin the Beauty of Joseon AHA/BHA toner approximately two evenings per week. Increase to three or more times weekly only if the skin remains comfortable. The Celimax toner and Aestura cream can be used daily morning and evening according to moisture needs.

Important notes

The Green Plum toner contains 2% AHA and 0.5% BHA and should be treated as the exfoliating step of the routine. Avoid combining it on the same evening with additional strong exfoliating acids, scrubs or peeling treatments. Sunscreen is required every morning.
