Calming Serums
Does your skin flush easily, sting after cleansing or react to new products? A calming serum can help. Calming serums contain mild, soothing ingredients that make redness less visible and help your skin recover. They’re also great after a spell of acids or retinol, or when cold weather or sun has thrown your skin off balance. In this collection you’ll find calming serums from Korean and Western brands.

Tips for sensitive skin
Introduce one new product at a time and patch test it on a small area first. If in doubt, choose a fragrance-free formula. Keep your routine short: a gentle cleanser, a calming toner, your serum and a moisturiser are often enough. During the day, finish your routine with SPF.
