Sensitive skin

Soothing ingredients

• Centella asiatica: the signature soothing plant of Korean skincare, as in the Wonder Releaf Centella Toner Unscented by Purito; see our centella skincare.
• Panthenol: it helps maintain hydration and comfort, as in the Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream by Purito.
• Mugwort and heartleaf: two plants widely used in Korea for reactive skin, such as the Mugwort Calming Toner by Round Lab.
• Ceramides: to support the skin barrier; see our skin barrier skincare.

A short routine

Three or four products are enough: a gentle cleanser, a soothing toner or essence, a cream, and sunscreen in the morning. The fewer products you use, the easier it is to spot the one that causes trouble.

The right habit

Test each new product on a small area, for example behind the ear or on the neck, for a few days before applying it to the whole face. Introduce stronger actives, such as acids or retinol, one at a time and gradually. See also our redness selection.
