Home care items that I want to buy after being shocked by my skin in the photo.

Today, I went to a nice cafe with my friends for the first time in a while and took a bunch of pictures. But when I looked at my face in a brightly lit room, I was shocked to see how prominent my uneven skin tone and my complexion looked. I used to be able to just apply some skin lotion, but now I feel like I really need to pay attention. I try to take care of my skin, but I don't have any proper home care products, so my skin looks dull and flaky quickly. Honestly, there are so many different options, I'm at a loss as to which ones to choose. I see on social media that everyone has at least one essential home care product, so I'm thinking of taking this opportunity to try them out. It's a bit of a burden to always visit an expensive dermatologist, and I think consistent home remedies are the best option. Do you have any home care products that you've found really effective? Products that help with skin texture and hydration would be ideal, but I'll be waiting for your advice.
