severely dry skin concerns

I am posting this because I have been increasingly worried lately about internal dryness; no matter how much I apply the best moisturizer or increase my water intake, my face feels tight and cracked by the afternoon. Even after switching to a mild, slightly acidic cleanser and layering hydrating essence multiple times during my basic skincare routine, my skin still feels shiny on the surface while the dryness deep inside persists. I am wondering if anyone has experienced chronic internal dryness like me and managed to overcome it through home care or specific lifestyle changes. I would like to hear valuable advice from those with experience on whether I need to completely overhaul my skincare routine, or if getting help from treatments like skin boosters would be a faster solution in this situation.
