13 BPOM-Approved Skincare Recommendations for Dry and Dull Skin

Achieving healthy, glowing, and supple skin is a common aspiration, but environmental factors like fluctuating weather, pollution, and air-conditioned spaces can strip the skin of its natural moisture. This often results in a tight, dull, and dry appearance.

To combat dryness and dullness, a selection of BPOM-certified skincare products featuring high concentrations of hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin is recommended. Additionally, safe brightening agents like niacinamide and vitamin C can help restore the skin's natural radiance. It is essential to ensure that chosen products are BPOM registered for guaranteed safety.

Understanding the root cause is key. Dry skin is a skin type characterized by a lack of natural oil production, while dehydrated skin is a temporary condition resulting from a lack of water in the skin's deeper layers, affecting any skin type. Effective treatment requires a combination of ingredients that attract water and lock in moisture to maintain a healthy skin barrier.

For morning and evening routines, a gentle, low-foaming facial cleanser that does not leave the skin feeling tight is advised. Recommended local Indonesian brands include Sensatia Botanicals Original Soapless Facial Cleanser, rich in antioxidants and gentle on natural oils, and Whitelab Brightening Facial Wash, which contains niacinamide and collagen for effective cleansing and brightening.
