sensitive skin

Sensitive skin is usually a compromised barrier rather than a permanent skin type, and it often improves once the routine is simplified. Korean formulas for it centre on centella, panthenol, madecassoside, mugwort and ceramides, without fragrance or essential oils.

Strip the routine back to a gentle cleanser, one calming treatment and a barrier cream, and hold it for a few weeks before reintroducing actives one at a time. Patch test along the jawline first. Orders ship quickly from Italy across Europe.
