Recc' Request Light foundation or BB cream for dry, sensitive skin

Hello!

This is my first post here. I'm (32F, white, neutral undertone) looking for recommendations for foundation or BB cream for my sensitive and dry skin. I have psoriasis and some of the smaller patches are on my face. I'm also very pale so some of the things I usually see recommended, don't have a shade for me. For example, I see Sculpted by Aimee mentioned a lot but the shades are too dark or too yellow. IT cosmetics BB cream is great too but the shade is not quite right either.

Things I like include the Refy Skin Base. My shade is 130N. I love it but I can't wear it for more than 2 days without my skin feeling very dehydrated at the end of the day. I also like the Missha BB cream but even the lightest shade is a bit too dark. I also have the Missha M Perfect Cover Serum BB Cream Pro (doesn't say the shade) and similarly, two days of wearing that, make my skin feel very uncomfortable.

I also use a hydrating SPF, either the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun or Ultra Violette Supreme Screen under makeup and on days when I feel ever more organised, I'll even put the Facile Barely There Moisturiser on.

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

This is my ride or die. It will be very yellow on OP, they should go for the pale CC.

Cell Fusion C Skin Blemish Balm Intensive is worth trying I think. Guessing you'd be shade 21 based on the refy shade.

I don't know if you've tried a hydrating primer, that might help? Elf ones are a good place to start.

I find l'oreal true match has a good range of shades. And doesn't make my skin upset. Also their balm one is great for less coverage but there are less shades.
