Mawada Amir's 3-Step Routine: Eye Serum, Moisturizer Cream & Sunscreen
Three steps, in the order that actually matters — an eye serum for the area that shows age first, a moisturizer cream rich enough to repair the barrier while you sleep, and a sunscreen that protects everything the other two steps just built. This is the routine Mawada Amir keeps to instead of adding new products every few weeks.
Step 1: Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum with Ginseng + Retinal
Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum goes on first, on clean skin, before the moisturizer cream. Ginseng and retinal work on fine lines and dullness specifically around the eyes — the retinal form converts to active retinoid faster than standard retinol, so it works without needing weeks to notice a difference.
Step 2: Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream
Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream is the moisturizer cream that seals in the eye serum and repairs the skin barrier overnight — rich enough for dry or compromised skin without feeling heavy during the day. It's the step most routines get wrong by either skipping it or using something too light to actually do the job.
Step 3: Beauty of Joseon Sun Relief Rice + Probiotics SPF50+
Beauty of Joseon Sun Relief Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ is the sunscreen step, and it's non-negotiable — without it, the retinal in step one and the repair work from step two get undone by the next sunny afternoon. This is the most reordered sunscreen on the site, largely because it doesn't leave a heavy or grey finish that stops people from reapplying.
Frequently asked questions
What order do I apply these three steps in?
Eye serum first on clean skin, moisturizer cream next to seal it in, and sunscreen last as the final morning step. At night, skip the sunscreen and stop after the moisturizer cream.
Can I use the eye serum in the morning if it contains retinal?
Retinal increases sun sensitivity, so it's best used at night, with the sunscreen the next morning as the follow-up protection rather than applying both in the same routine step.
Is the moisturizer cream too heavy for oily skin?
It's formulated as a rich, repairing cream, so it suits dry or barrier-compromised skin best. Oilier skin types may prefer a lighter moisturizer cream alongside the same eye serum and sunscreen steps.
