COSRX-focused skincare routine for sensitive skin
A routine for sensitive skin built around COSRX products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.
Cleansers and toners with glycerin, aloe vera, and centella asiatica help calm redness and stinging. Serums and moisturizers with ceramides and niacinamide help soothe reactions to new products and strengthen sensitive skin.
The morning routine prepares the skin for the day: it cleans off the night, hydrates, and protects, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while it rests and is away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds the deeper steps.

Products are rated for the concerns frequently associated with sensitive skin: redness, stinging, and reactions to new products. For a routine based on your full skin profile, including your 12D face scan results and any goals or preferences you have, please use the Lovi app.
