Redness and sensitivity

Korean skincare for skin that turns red, stings or feels tight after cleansing. Short ingredient lists, soothing botanicals such as centella and propolis, and mineral sunscreen that does not burn around the eyes.

How to choose

  • Everyday calming moisturizer: Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream or COSRX Full Fit Propolis Light Cream.
  • Sunscreen that does not sting: a mineral formula such as Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Pure Mineral Relief Sunscreen.
  • Keep the routine short: cleanser, one treatment, moisturizer and SPF is enough for reactive skin.

Good to know

Propolis is a bee product; skip it if you are allergic to bees or bee products. Persistent redness, burning or flushing is worth showing to a dermatologist.
