How to Choose the Best Korean Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin?
The fewer the ingredients are, the better. Treating sensitive skin can sometimes be a trial-and-error process. Minimizing possible irritants in your moisturizer will also lessen the possibility of aggravating your skin.
Opt for mild ingredients (preferably non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic).
Some moisturizers feature synthetic emollients that clog the pores and cause acne. So if they are labeled non-comedogenic or hypoallergenic, it means that these skincare products don't contain ingredients that block the pores.
Find credible user reviews for the Korean moisturizer you're planning to get. As mentioned earlier, Korean brands give you tons of options to choose from and it can be quite overwhelming. So to narrow your choices down, look for credible reviews online from actual users. There are many Korean beauty forums that can help you out, some even specifically catering to those with sensitive skin.
Choose a Korean moisturizer that has a lightweight formula.
A person with dry or oily skin can also have sensitive skin at the same time. So for both circumstances, your safest option is to go for a moisturizer that has a lightweight consistency and fast-absorbing formula.
The goal is to let your pores "breathe" to ensure that your skin is properly hydrated without aggravating it.
Best Ingredients for Sensitive Skin
- Aloe Vera
- Ceramides
- Green Tea
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Centella Asiatica
- Squalane
- Calendula Extract
These ingredients are deemed friendly for sensitive skin because of their mild and skin-soothing properties. For instance, Hyaluronic Acid suits sensitive skin very well because it's a substance that naturally occurs in the skin. This way, it does not cause skin irritation because the skin doesn't see it as a foreign substance.
Some will feature two or more ingredients blended altogether so you need to be mindful about this too.
