Metic Beauty

Korean Moisturizers for Sensitive Skin

The moisturizer seals in every layer before it. Korean creams range from water-light gels for oily skin to rich barrier creams for dry skin; the base matters as much as the actives.

For sensitive skin, short ingredient lists and soothing actives such as centella and panthenol matter more than strong treatments. Patch test anything new. These are the moisturizers whose brands recommend them for sensitive skin.
