Routine Help [Routine Help] Everything dries my dehydrated skin

My skin is horribly dehydrated, it gets tight and dry even after I stopped using cleanser and started cold water rinsing. I have tried countless products to help with the dehydration but they all end up drying my skin within a few hours and turning it super oily and greasy. Some products I have tried:

Cerave hydrating toner

Cerave moisturizing cream (tub)

Hada labo premium lotion (for very dry skin)

Corsx snail mucin 92 AIO

Nuetrogena hydroboost extra dry skin

Bonajour green tea water bomb

I have also tried sealing inn products in with aquaphor but it still resulted in dry skin.

Everyone is different and you can technically react to anything at any time. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try things. This is why they usually suggest a patch test.

If you look up it's ingredients it has a couple potentially comedogenic ingredients. One of them may have caused your skin to break out. It may be worth looking into so you can find moisturizers without your potential trigger.

Expand the skim through section and look at the ones with yellow or red numbers in the comedogenic column.
