Sensitive Skin

Shop gentle Korean skincare for sensitive skin, including soothing toners, serums and barrier-supporting moisturisers selected to help skin feel calm, hydrated and comfortable.

 How to Care for Sensitive Skin 

Sensitive skin can react more easily to changes in weather, strong active ingredients, over-exfoliation or an overly complicated routine.

If your skin often feels tight, uncomfortable or easily irritated, focus on gentle cleansing, soothing hydration and barrier support. Ingredients such as Centella, Panthenol, Ceramides, Hyaluronic Acid and Snail Mucin can be useful when building a simpler, more comfortable routine.

With sensitive skin, more skincare isn’t always better. Start simple and introduce new products gradually.

  • My Skin Feels Easily Irritated 

    Look for:
    Simple toners, soothing ampoules and lightweight creams

    Ingredients to look for:
    Centella · Heartleaf · Hyaluronic Acid · Snail Mucin

    If your skin becomes uncomfortable easily, focus on hydration and soothing ingredients before adding stronger actives.

    Krush Tip: Introduce one new product at a time so it’s easier to see how your skin responds.

  • My Skin Feels Dry, Tight & Sensitive 

    Look for:
    Milky toners, hydrating serums and richer barrier creams

    Ingredients to look for:
    Ceramides · Panthenol · Hyaluronic Acid · Rice

    Sensitive skin can often feel worse when it becomes dry or dehydrated. Layer lightweight hydration underneath a comfortable moisturiser to help reduce that tight feeling.

    Krush Tip: During colder weather, your usual moisturiser may simply be too light.

  • My Skin Barrier Feels Stressed 

    Look for:
    Barrier-supporting moisturisers and simple soothing formulas

    Ingredients to look for:
    Ceramides · Panthenol · Centella · Hyaluronic Acid

    If your skin suddenly feels tight, uncomfortable or more reactive than usual, simplifying your routine and reducing strong actives can help give your skin a break.

    Krush Tip: Pause the “more is better” mindset. Focus on cleanse → hydrate → moisturise → SPF.

FAQ💜  

Sensitive Skin vs A Damaged Skin Barrier

Sensitive skin generally refers to skin that is more prone to discomfort or reactions.

A stressed or compromised skin barrier, however, can happen to almost anyone often after over-exfoliating, using too many strong actives or when skin becomes very dry.

The two can feel similar, which is why a simple routine focused on hydration and barrier support is often a sensible starting point.

What Should Sensitive Skin Avoid?

There isn’t one universal list of ingredients that every sensitive skin type must avoid. What irritates one person may be completely fine for another.

However, if your skin is already feeling stressed, be cautious with frequent exfoliation, multiple strong actives at once and introducing too many new products together.

Why has my skin suddenly become more sensitive?

Changes in weather, dryness, over-exfoliation, introducing several strong actives or disrupting the skin barrier can all make skin feel more reactive than usual. Simplifying your routine for a while can be a good starting point.

What ingredients are good for sensitive skin?

Soothing and hydrating ingredients such as Centella, Panthenol, Hyaluronic Acid and Snail Mucin are popular choices, while Ceramides can help support the skin barrier. The overall formula matters just as much as any single ingredient.
