Collection: Sensitive & Reactive Skin

What does “sensitive skin” actually mean in skincare?

Sensitive skin is not a skin type but a condition in which the skin reacts easily to environmental factors, products or stress. It may feel irritated, appear red, sting after cleansing or react unpredictably to new products. Korean skincare addresses sensitive skin not by avoiding ingredients entirely, but by focusing on strengthening the skin barrier and maintaining hydration.

Rather than overwhelming the skin with actives, Korean routines for sensitive skin prioritize calming, hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients that help the skin regain balance.

Why a weakened skin barrier causes sensitivity and redness

The skin barrier acts as a protective shield. When it becomes weakened due to over-exfoliation, harsh cleansers, environmental stress or dehydration, the skin becomes reactive. Redness, tightness and irritation often follow.

Korean skincare focuses heavily on repairing and maintaining this barrier using ingredients such as centella asiatica, ceramides and hyaluronic acid. This approach helps the skin become less reactive over time.

How Korean skincare calms visible redness without heavy products

Many people with sensitive skin avoid skincare because they fear irritation. Korean formulations solve this by using lightweight, calming textures that absorb quickly without overwhelming the skin. Ingredients like centella and propolis are frequently included to soothe the skin while maintaining hydration.

This gentle approach allows the skin to improve gradually without discomfort.

Why hydration is essential for reactive skin

Dehydration often makes sensitivity worse. When the skin lacks water, it becomes more prone to irritation. Korean skincare introduces hydration through toners and essences before applying creams, ensuring the skin remains comfortable and supported throughout the day.

Hydrated skin is more resilient and less likely to react to external factors.
