Korean Serums for Sensitive Skin

Serums carry the highest concentration of actives in a Korean routine, so they are where the treatment happens. Pick one by the problem you want it to solve and check the actives, not the claims on the front.

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 serums whose brands recommend them for sensitive skin.
