Moisturiser is the step that locks in everything applied before it — the last, and often richest, layer of a routine. Korean moisturisers range from watery gel creams that suit oily and combination skin, to richer creams with ceramides or amino acids for drier or more mature skin that needs extra support overnight.
Skipping moisturiser, or using one too light for your skin, is a common reason a routine feels incomplete: actives sink in but don't stay comfortable, and skin can feel tight again within an hour. The right moisturiser matches your skin's needs by season as much as by type — many people use a lighter gel cream in Australia's humid months and a richer cream through winter or in air-conditioned offices.
Look for ceramides and ceramide-adjacent ingredients if your skin barrier feels compromised (tight, reactive, prone to flaking), hyaluronic acid and glycerin for plumping hydration, and amino acids or peptides in creams aimed at firmness and repair.

Tight, flaky, suddenly-reactive skin usually isn’t asking for more actives — it’s asking for a stronger barrier. Learn the essence–serum–moisturiser layering method that rebuilds comfort from the ground up.
