How I solved my dry and rough skin

I had used countless types of toners for my dry skin, but my skin remained dry.
As soon as I stopped using toners, my skin became so moisturized – as if I was a commpletely different person.

Previously, I had the following symptoms.

・Even if I used toners and milky lotions, my skin was powdery and it stung.
・My skin was stiff and hard.
・Even if I moisturized at night, my skin was dry by the morning. 

But now, my skin is completely different.

Current state of my skin
・My skin is constantly moisturized 
・My skin is firm and glowy
・My skin is incredibly soft
・No dryness or stiffness
・No pain, irritation, or redness
・When I move my face, my skin isn't stiff
・I only need to apply sunscreen before makeup

My skin has been moisturized for over 10 years.

If you are using toners but still have dry skin, if you are experiencing similar symptoms to the ones I had in the past, please keep reading!

I’d be very happy if my story helps your skincare journey.

Daily frustration: My skin remained dry, even if I was using toners

I used to think, “The basic product of skincare is toners.”

This is because every beauty and skincare book I read told me to use toners as if it was a given.

Even among my friends, everyone uses toners.
Not to mention, every skincare brand I know sells toners.

Whenever I talk to a beauty professional, they always recommend toners.

This is why I thought it was a given to use toners, and I never questioned this.

I foolishly believed:
“Toners are a necessary skincare product.”
“As long as I use toners, my skin will be moisturized.”

I also didn’t like when my face felt sticky, so I used only toners to moisturize my skin.

More specifically, I thought that a thick consistency = higher moisturizing power, so I preferred thick toners.
After applying these thick toners, it felt like my skin was moisturized.
But when I woke up in the morning, my face was completely dry and rough.

In another instance, I heard that “It’s better to apply multiple layers of toner” so I did exactly that.

But unfortunately, my dry and rough skin never changed.

I had mainly been using cheap products from the pharmacy. But I thought, “My skin isn’t getting better becuase I’m using cheap products!” so I started using popular, expensive brand skincare products from the department store.

I had high expectations, but my skin remained dry.

I even tried using products that have popular beauty ingredients but of course, the results were the same.

Expensive products, popular products, products with famous and trending skincare ingredients – no matter how many toners I used, my skin was incredibly dry.

My skin was moisturized when I applied it, but completely dry by the next morning.

Even if I applied makeup, it didn’t sit on my skin well because my skin was dry.
The least I wanted to do was make my skin look pretty with makeup, but I couldn’t even do that. I felt completely defeated and frustrated.

After I stopped using toners, the results were unbelievable

I looked for toners that could moisturized my skin and tried countless different brands, but my skin’s dryness never improved.

In fact, my skin got worse.

It wasn’t long until my skin started to sting from toners, and I had to stop using toners completely.

That’s when my mother, after seeing me suffer from dry skin, recommended me this skincare product.

This skincare product was an all-in-one gel product, a product often seen in the beauty industry.

“Oh, an all-in-one product…”

I had used all-in-one products in the past.

They were really watery and easy to use, but they never moisturized my skin, so I had very little expectations.

“You can layer this product, so you should apply it every time your skin feels dry,” my mother told me.

To be honest, I didn’t enjoy the slight stickiness of the product, but I listened to my mother.
Regardless of whether it was morning or night, I applied the product throughout the day, whenever my skin felt dry.
I continued this for one month.

I thought,
“This product is probably no different from all the other toners I’ve used anyway.”
But after one month, I was shocked.

My skin was glowing, soft, and incredibly moisturized.
My makeup applied very well, and I didn’t experience any dryness throughout the day.
In fact, I was able to go outside without any makeup. That’s how much my skin cleared up, and I regained my confidence.

Day by day, my skin felt less dry.

After one month, I could see my ideal skin in the mirror.

After 10 years of not using toners, I trust this new skincare method so much.
But I was incredibly skeptical at first.

The reason why toners can’t moisturize your skin

I used to think, moisturizing = to apply toner.
Multiple products such as toners, milky lotions, and serums are all necessary to moisturize the skin.

But this preconceived idea was my biggest mistake.

Toners can’t moisturize your skin.

Now that I think about it, no matter how many times I reapplied toner, my skin was always dry.

Why did toners never moisturize my skin?

First, in order to moisturize, you need water, oil, and moisturizing ingredients.
Water hydrates your skin, while oil and moisturizing ingredients prevent that hydration from evaporating. They lock and seal the hydration within your skin for long-lasting moisturization.

By nature, our skin naturally produces water, oil, and moisturizing ingredients.

But dry skin lacks these three components, due to age, genetics, or incorrect skincare.

That’s why it’s important to replenish these three things with your skincare routine.
By replenishing water, oil, and moisturizing ingredients in a balanced manner, your skin can maintain a healthy state.

Toners are 95% water.
With my ‘toner only’ skincare routine, I was only replenishing water to my dry skin.
Regardless of price or texture, this type of skincare routine cannot change dry skin.

If you only replenish water to your skin, it immediately evaporates and dries your skin.
Not to mention, it also evaporates your skin’s natural hydration, so it leaves your skin more dry than before.

In other words, I was actually conducting a skincare routine that was making my dry skin worse…

In addition, with the same reason why toners don’t moisturize the skin, milky lotions, creams, and serums also don’t have any moisturizing effect.

When I first discovered this truth, I was devastated.
“I was only trying to improve my skin, but it was only making it worse…”
“All that money and time, what was it for?”

But becuase I was able to discover this truth, my skin has been moisturized for over 10 years.
After realizing this truth, I stopped wasting time and money. I stopped worsening my skin condition. I stopped worrying about my skin completely.

Now, I can confidently say that toners are unnecessary for moisturization.

This is not just any all-in-one gel

Most all-in-one gels are designed for its ease of use.

True, when I was using other all-in-one products, I only had to use that one product so it was easy to use. But I never experience any moisturizing effect from them and I believed that all-in-one products were the same as toners.

But the all-in-one gel product that my mother recommended to me wasn’t just any kind of all-in-one gel.

What was so different about it? Its moisturizing power.

Typica all-in-one gels prioritize convenience and sacrifice moisturizing effects.

But this product prioritized moisturizing effects, so it coincidentally became an all-in-one gel.

That’s why its moisturizing effects are exceptional!

In just one bottle, it contains all three components that are necessary for moisturization: water, oil, and moisturizing ingredients.
Typically, you would have to replenish these components with separate products, but you can replenish ALL of them with just one product.

But because of its high moisturizing effect, it has a sticky texture compared to toners.

In the beginning, I didn’t really like this stickiness.

But after seeing how moisturized my skin felt, I realized something: I had become so used to my skin being dry and rough.

If your skin surface is smooth, that means it’s dry.
I thought this was normal, which is why I felt uncomfortable with the stickiness.

In order to moisturize your skin, a sticky texture is necessary.

It feels sticky because it contains an abundance of water, oil, and moisturizing ingredients.
The sticky texture is exactly why my skin was consistently moisturized.

If you’ve gotten used to your dry skin like, you’d be surprised how much your skin can change when it’s properly moisturized.

The correct way to moisturize

Incorrect method to moisturize
・I only moisturized in the morning and at night.
・I thought that I couldn't moisturize my skin without toners.
・I measured moisturizing effects based on a product's price and texture.

Correct method to moisturize
・Moisturize your skin as many times as you need to, whenever your skin feels dry.
・Replenish water, oil, and moisturizing ingredients in a balance manner to create long-lasting moisturization.

I had a preconceived idea that using toners was the correct way to moisturize, but I was wrong.

Hydrate your skin until it doesn’t feel dry. And maintain that moisturization in your skin.
This is the correct way to moisturize.

This all-in-one gel is formuated with a well-researched balance of ingredients that has all of the necessary components to moisturize your skin.

Unlike creams and oils, this all-in-one gel product doesn’t create an oil layer.
This means that you can apply as many times as you want, hydrate your skin as much as you want, whenever your skin craves moisturization.

By doing so, your skin will be moisturized for a long period of time, and you can prevent dryness.

Everytime I look at how glowy and healthy my skin is, it makes my day.
All I do is apply sunscreen when I go outside. I’ve gained so much confidence in my skin.
It has saved me so much time and money.

If you are struggling with dry skin like me, I really hope you try the correct method of moisturization and obtain a future qhere you are happy with your own skin.

Together, lets live a life without having to worry about dry skin.

Below are some testimonials from people who have tried and trust the correct method of moisturization.

I 100% recommend it for people who suffer from dry skin. I’m sure you’ll love it!

I have dry skin and my face would get extremely dry during the winter. I was always on the hunt for a good moisturizer, and none of the popular, expensive ones worked for me.

That’s when I discovered Aquatect Gel. I was skeptical at first, but I noticed that my face was really soft and moisturized after using the product.

What I especially love about Earthcare Asia is their commitment to honesty, and how they change my preconceived notions about skincare with detailed explanations.

I 100% recommend it for people who suffer from dry skin. I’m sure you’ll love it!

I wish I discovered this product sooner!

As I was decluttering my space, I began to question the numerous skincare products I owned. That’s when I concidentally discovered Aquatect Gel.

I don’t necessarily have sensitive skin, but I was sick and tired of spending so much time and money on skincare products. I also really enjoyed the usability of Aquatect Gel, and continued using it for the next 6 months.

Now, the blackheads on my nose have become less noticeable and my skin looks more youthful. My daughter even told me, “Did you get younger?”

It has been about 1 year since I started using Aquatect Gel. I finally discovered what moisturized skin feels like. Now, I’m confident in my skin and I don’t wear makeup. These days, I was surprised to hear my friends and son tell me, “Your skin looks so youthful!” I truly believe in this product. Thank you!

My dry skin is terrible! But by applying Aquatect Gel frequently, it is getting much better. I’m so impressed. I’m so grateful.

*This is a personal opinion and does not guarantee the effectiveness of the product

The all-in-one gel product that I have been loyal to is called Aquatect Gel.

What is Aquatect Gel?

Aquatect Gel is a full-body moisturizing gel cream developed to hydrate extremely dry and sensitive skin.

It was initially marketed for facial skincare, but its high moisturizing power has earned it a reputation as a moisturizing gel cream that can be used on the entire body – regardless of gender, age, or skin type.

Recommended for...
・Facial skincare
・Hand care for hand eczema and dry hands
・Body moisturizing care
・Baby care

There are 2 reasons why Aquatect Gel has such a high moisturizing capacity.

1. Its optimal balance of oil and water replenishes both to the skin simultaneously

In order to moisturize dry skin, you must provide and maintain plenty of moisture in the skin.

Aquatect Gel has been developed to achieve a balance between maximum hydration content and oil content to maintain moisture within the skin.
Through repeated trial and error, we arrived at the golden ratio of 8(water):2(oil).

Hydration is quickly absorbed into dry skin, and oil prevents that hydration from evaporating.
This approach to moisture retention inside the skin is how Aquatect Gel achieves high moisturizing power.

2. The more its applied, the more the skin is moisturized

Aquatect Gel has a special structure that balances water and oil.
Therefore, with each application, moisture is supplied to the inside of the skin and oil to the surface of the skin.

The more it’s applied, the more moisturized the skin becomes.
This is what makes Aquatect Gel different from other creams. Other creams only create an oil film on the skin surface, no matter how many times it’s applied.

Because it’s a gel, it’s great for dry skin!

Aquatect Gel has a soft, jelly-like consistency that is plump, watery, and soft.

This gel consistency has the ability to minimize friction and irritation to the skin when applied.
Because of its elasticity, it acts as a cushion between your skin.

That’s why it can be spread gently even on the dryest, roughest skin.

Your face, body, and hands will look AND feel great!

Now, I use Aquatect Gel not only for my face, but for my body and hands.

My skin, which used to be dry and rough, have become so moisturized.
The moisture on my skin is better than ever before.
Thanks to this product, I often look younger than my age.

I recommend this product especially to those who have dry skin on any part of their body.

If you think Aquatect Gel suits your skin, you can reduce the stress of skincare considerably because this one product can be used for everything.

Q&A: How to use

I’ve received many questions about how to use Aquatect Gel, so I’d like to answer them based on my experience.

Q: Can I use it, even if my skin is scarred?

Yes, absolutely.

If you don’t have any allergies to the ingredients, you can use it on areas with scars and wounds.

However, it may sting.

This is because Aquatect Gel is a moisture-rich gel cream.
It stings just like how water stings scars.

When I first started using it, I had a lot of scars so it stung sometimes.

If it stings too much that you can’t bear it, I recommend you to treat it with medicine first and use Aquatect Gel after the scars and wounds have healed.

Q: Should I use medicine?

Yes, you should.

Medicine and Aquatect Gel have different roles and functions.
It’s most effective to take advantage of each and use them simultaneously.

Role and function of medicine
Reduce inflammation, itching, and other existing symptoms

Role and function of Aquatect Gel
Moisturize skin and nurture healthy skin

If medicine didn’t work for you, you should especially try using both at the same time.

I think there are many people who think:
“Medicine has never worked for me.”
“I don’t want to use medicine anymore”
I was the same way.

However, looking back, before I started taking care of my skin with Aquatect Gel, I was only trying to suppress existing symptoms such as inflammation and itching.

No matter how much I suppressed the symptoms, my skin was fundamentally too dry and damaged.
Even if I applied medicine, the change was temporary and my skin continued to stay dry.

When you start using Aquatect Gel, you can expect the skin itself to become fundamentally healthier.
While nurturing healthy skin, you can use medicine to control the symptoms appropriately.
Once I started doing this, I started making progress.

Therefore, if you are currently prescribed medication or have symptoms such as inflammation and/or itching, I highly recommend that you use medicine and Aquatect Gel together.

*To be safe, please check with your doctor to ensure you are allowed to use Aquatect Gel in combination with your medicine.

Q: How long should I use it for?

For first-time users, 3 months is a good rule of thumb.

It really depends on your symptoms and lifestyle, though.

For reference, more than 70% of users feel a change in their skin in the 3rd month.
So we recommend you to use it 3 months to start off.

I applied Aquatect Gel frequently every day, and I remember feeling changes day by day.
