This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with sensitive skin: redness, stinging, and reactions to new products. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

Works for sensitive skin; other sunscreens fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate sun protection suitable for normal skin, with ingredients like diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate and ethylhexyl triazone providing UV shielding, while Panax Ginseng Root Extract and Niacinamide support barrier repair.
- The formula provides general hydration and soothing benefits, which are supportive but do not directly target your specific concerns of redness and irritation.
- The product is safe for your sensitive skin, as it lacks harsh or prohibited ingredients that could cause irritation.

## What reviewers say

This product is widely praised as a hybrid skincare-sunscreen with a lightweight, gel-like texture that leaves no white cast, making it ideal for dry or dehydrated skin types seeking a "glass skin" glow.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Sun Serum work for sensitive skin?

This sunscreen works for sensitive skin, though other products fit it better because it lacks targeted ingredients for redness and irritation. To fit sensitive skin well, a moisturizing spf of this type needs soothing agents, ceramides, and antioxidants to calm the skin while protecting it from the sun.

### Which ingredients make this serum a good fit for sensitive skin?

Panax ginseng root extract and niacinamide help support barrier repair while you wear this serum. To better target sensitive skin with redness and irritation, this type of product needs soothing ingredients like ceramides and antioxidants.

### What does Panax Ginseng Extract do for sensitive skin?

Panax ginseng extract helps calm sensitive, irritated skin and reduces redness and itching. It is generally well tolerated and may improve skin comfort, though products for sensitive skin also need soothing and hydrating ingredients to keep the skin barrier strong and protected.
Sources: [Annals of Dermatology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29853744/), [Journal of Korean Medical Science, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28244297/)

### What does Niacinamide do for sensitive skin?

Niacinamide helps calm sensitive skin by strengthening the skin barrier and reducing redness and irritation. It is very well tolerated and may improve overall comfort and resilience with regular use.
Sources: [Cutis, 2005](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16209160/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2004](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17147561/)

### Where does this serum go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?

This product goes in the morning routine as your moisturizing spf after cleansing and a soothing toner. Sensitive skin needs a gentle moisturizing sunscreen with calming plant extracts and barrier-repairing ingredients that target redness and irritation.

### Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this serum in the morning after your soothing toner, followed by your sunscreen, and keep retinol for your evening routine. While this product is safe for sensitive skin, a product for this skin needs soothing and calming ingredients like centella asiatica or bisabolol to directly target redness and irritation.

### How often should I use this serum?

You can use this moisturizing spf every morning as the final step of your daytime routine. It is safe for sensitive skin, though a sunscreen with ingredients that directly target redness and irritation would fit this skin better.

### Can this serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?

This serum is unlikely to cause purging since it does not contain exfoliating active ingredients, but it may feel greasy on oily skin and lead to breakouts for some. A sunscreen for sensitive skin prone to clogged pores needs lightweight, non-greasy moisturizing ingredients and reliable UV filters that do not sit heavily on the face.

### Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no fragrance and contains drying alcohol (alcohol).
