Dr Fimi's Five Skincare Staples: Simple, Effective, Non-Negotiable

Skincare doesn't have to be complicated and Dr Fimi is living proof. Rather than chasing the latest ten-step routines or trend-driven ingredients, she keeps coming back to a small edit of products that consistently deliver. Here are the five she swears by.

1. CeraVe Cream-to-Foam Cleanser

A great cleanser sets the tone for your whole routine, and this is the one Dr Fimi reaches for again and again. "This one is gentle, effective and never leaves my skin feeling dry or tight," she says — proof that a good cleanse doesn't have to come at the expense of your skin barrier.

2. Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream

For hydration that lasts without feeling heavy, this K-beauty favourite delivers. "Rich yet lightweight, this keeps my skin hydrated all day while leaving it looking healthy, plump and glowing," Dr Fimi explains — a rare combination of nourishment and comfort in one jar.

3. Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Daily Sunscreen

SPF is non-negotiable, but not all sunscreens are created equal. This one has become a daily staple for Dr Fimi thanks to its finish. "Its velvety texture melts into the skin and sits nicely under makeup, making it easy to wear every day," she notes — ideal for anyone put off sun protection by a heavy or white-cast formula.

4. Medicube Zero Pore Pads 2.0

For texture and pore concerns, Dr Fimi turns to these exfoliating pads, which work by removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores to refine the overall look of the complexion. For those with more sensitive skin, a Mild version is also available — so you don't have to miss out on the benefits.

5. Aquaphor Healing Ointment

Some products are simply too good to go without — this is Dr Fimi's. "This is my go-to lip balm and you'll find one in every bag," she says, cementing its place as a permanent fixture in her routine, no matter where she is.
