I want to tackle both blemishes and extreme inner dryness.

With extreme dryness parched deep within my skin, compounded by dark blemishes appearing around my cheekbones, my complexion looks so rough and dull every time I look in the mirror. If I apply a generous amount of moisturizer to address the inner tightness, only the surface becomes shiny, while the tightness deep inside persists. On the other hand, if I try to cover the dull pigmentation with makeup, it flakes and cracks due to my dry skin, making it look even messier. I’ve heard that laser toning treatments for removing blemishes often tend to make the skin drier or more sensitive afterward... Is that true? What is the correct order of approach to strengthen the dry skin barrier while clearing out pigmentation? I am wondering if I should build up my basic resilience first with a skin booster that directly injects moisture and nutrients before starting toning, or if there is a separate low-irritation package that can address both concerns simultaneously.
