A-Clear Balancing Moisturizer 70ml Special Set (+Serum 10ml) (Dr.G)
Korean consumers rated it like this!!
Living in Korea, my skin goes through a lot with the extreme seasonal changes – humid summers and dry, biting winters.
Finding a moisturizer that works year-round for my sensitive, acne-prone skin has always been a challenge.
But the Dr.G A-Clear Balancing Moisturizer has truly impressed me here.
During the hot, sticky Korean summers, its lightweight, non-greasy texture is an absolute dream.
It absorbs quickly, leaving a fresh, almost matte finish that doesn't feel heavy or contribute to excess oiliness, even when the humidity is through the roof.
It helps keep my sebum production in check, which is crucial when the weather makes your skin want to produce oil like crazy.
I've noticed fewer breakouts during the summer months, which I attribute to its balancing properties.
Come winter, when the air becomes incredibly dry and harsh, I was initially worried it wouldn't be hydrating enough.
However, I was pleasantly surprised!
While it's lightweight, it provides sufficient hydration to prevent dryness and flakiness.
I sometimes layer it over a hydrating toner or the bonus serum from the special set, and my skin feels perfectly comfortable and protected against the cold.
It doesn't feel heavy, yet it creates a nice barrier.
Korean consumers are very particular about texture and efficacy, and this moisturizer hits all the right notes.
It’s gentle enough for daily use, even when my skin is feeling extra reactive from pollution or mask-wearing.
The focus on Cica for soothing is also a big win, as Centella Asiatica is a beloved ingredient in K-beauty for its healing properties.
It truly feels like a product designed with the challenges of Korean skin and climate in mind, offering both effective acne care and soothing hydration without compromise.
It's a staple in my Korean skincare routine now!
Products that go well together
To maximize the benefits of the Dr.G A-Clear Balancing Moisturizer, I've found a few products that pair perfectly with it, creating a powerhouse routine for troubled skin.
First and foremost, using it with the Dr.G A-Clear Balancing Serum (which came as a bonus in this special set!) is a no-brainer.
The serum provides an extra layer of soothing and balancing ingredients, prepping your skin beautifully for the moisturizer.
If you don't have the serum, any lightweight, hydrating serum with calming ingredients like Centella or Hyaluronic Acid would be a great precursor.
Before applying, I highly recommend starting with the Dr.G Red Blemish Clear Soothing Toner.
It's incredibly gentle and helps to calm redness and refine skin texture, creating a clean canvas for the moisturizer.
For cleansing, the Dr.G pH Cleansing Gel Foam is an excellent choice, as it's low pH and won't strip your skin, maintaining its natural barrier.
On days when my skin needs an extra boost of soothing, I love to use a Cica-infused sheet mask before the moisturizer.
Brands like Abib or Mediheal have great options.
And of course, during the day, always follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen, especially if you're treating acne, as many treatments can increase sun sensitivity.
The Dr.G Green Mild Up Sun+ SPF50+ PA++++ is a fantastic mineral sunscreen that's gentle and doesn't leave a white cast.
This combination ensures your skin is cleansed, treated, hydrated, and protected, all while keeping sensitivity and breakouts at bay.
It’s all about building a routine that supports your skin’s health!
