Korean Skincare for Canadian Winter Dryness
A simple routine with SKIN1004, ILLIYOON and AESTURA
Winter skincare should make your skin feel comfortable. When cold air and indoor heating leave your face tight or flaky, focus on a gentle cleanser, a treatment you tolerate well, and a moisturizer that suits your skin.
At KBeauty Canada, you can build that routine with a lightweight SKIN1004 ampoule and your choice of ILLIYOON or AESTURA cream. Start with fewer products and adjust the texture and amount as your skin’s needs change.
Start With Gentle Cleansing
Use lukewarm water and a cleanser that leaves your face feeling comfortable. Remove makeup and sunscreen thoroughly, but avoid scrubbing or repeatedly washing. Your moisturizer should be the next priority; toner and ampoule are optional additions.
Add a Lightweight Treatment if Needed
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule
This Centella-focused ampoule has a watery texture that fits easily between cleansing and moisturizer. It is an option for people who want a light layer of soothing skincare without a heavy feel. Apply an appropriate amount and gently pat, following the packaging directions.
An ampoule complements moisturizer rather than replacing it. If your routine already feels comfortable, there is no need to add another treatment simply because the weather is colder.

Choose a Moisturizer for Winter Comfort
ILLIYOON Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream
ILLIYOON’s cream is a face-and-body option for dry skin. Its formula includes glycerin, dimethicone, ceramide-related ingredients and cholesterol. The cream texture makes it a practical choice when you want more nourishing moisture than a light treatment layer alone provides.
Apply to cleansed skin and massage gently. Use it as your main moisturizer, adjusting the amount to how your skin feels.

AESTURA Atobarrier 365 Cream
AESTURA Atobarrier 365 Cream is another option for dry skin. The listed formula includes squalane, glycerin, cholesterol, ceramide NP and allantoin. Its moisturizing capsules are designed to soften during application, helping the cream spread over the skin.
Choose AESTURA as an alternative to ILLIYOON based on your texture preference and skin tolerance. You do not need both creams in the same routine. Apply an appropriate amount as your moisturizer, before sunscreen in the morning.

Put Your Routine Together
Morning: Gentle cleanse as needed, optional SKIN1004 ampoule, one moisturizer, then sunscreen used as directed.
Evening: Remove makeup and sunscreen, cleanse gently, apply your optional ampoule, then moisturize.
Let Your Skin Guide You
Introduce products individually and patch test. If a treatment stings, reduce or stop its use rather than adding more layers. Ingredient lists can change, so check the packaging for the formula you receive.
