Korean Skincare for Sensitive Skin

How to choose Korean skincare for sensitive skin

Fewer, gentler products usually feel best. Look for short routines built on centella, heartleaf, aloe and panthenol. The Abib Heartleaf Calming Toner Skin Booster and Heartleaf Creme Calming Tube make an easy pair, and the iUNIK Beta-Glucan Daily Moisture Cream is listed for both sensitive and all skin types. Aloe gels from Isntree and Nature Republic add a cooling layer after sun or shaving.

If your skin is also blemish-prone or looks red, the Anua Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum focuses on the look of redness while adding hydration, with no artificial fragrance. Cleanse with something mild, like the Arencia Calendula Rice Mochi Cleanser.

How should I introduce a new product?

One at a time, about a week apart, so you know what your skin likes. Patch test first: apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner arm for 24-48 hours and stop use if irritation occurs.

Is centella the same as cica?

Yes. Cica is the K-beauty nickname for Centella asiatica, a plant extract loved for its calming feel. Find more in our centella collection.

Can I return a product that doesn't suit me?

Unopened, unused items in original sealed packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery. For hygiene reasons, opened products can't be returned unless they arrived damaged, defective or incorrect.

How to use it in your routine

Cleanse, tone, apply one calming serum, moisturize, then SPF in the morning. Browse cleansers, moisturizers and barrier care, or start with the calm and barrier routine. For other goals, shop by concern.
