New to Korean skincare, any beginner recommendations?

Hey everyone, 👋 I’m M18 and super new to Korean skincare and honestly don’t know much about it, I just heard it’s really effective and wanted to try it out.

My skin is kind of combination, sometimes dry, sometimes oily, and I also want to even out my skin tone since I’ve gotten a bit tanned recently. I’d love to get my natural tone back and have a brighter, clearer look overall.

For anyone who’s into K-beauty, what products or steps would you recommend for beginners? Like simple routines that actually work (not 10+ products 😭).

Any recs for cleansers, toners, or creams to help with hydration and brightening would be awesome. Thanks in advance 🙏
