Sensitive skin
Low-fuss routines and soothing ingredients for reactive skin.
Sensitive skin reacts easily: stinging, redness, itching or bumps after products that other people use without trouble. Sometimes it’s a lasting trait; sometimes it’s a temporarily damaged barrier.
The best approach is usually a short routine with fewer, gentler products. Many Korean brands build entire lines around soothing ingredients such as centella asiatica, heartleaf and panthenol, and keep fragrance out of their formulas.
Our sensitive-skin guides cover how to patch test, how to introduce one product at a time, and how to read an ingredient list for common irritants. If a reaction is severe, or you suspect an allergy, stop using the product and speak with a pharmacist or doctor.
