Works for sensitive skin; other serums fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate benefits for your redness and irritation, as glycerin and hyaluronic acid provide hydration while Centella Asiatica Extract offers anti-inflammatory action suitable for normal skin.
- Niacinamide and Camellia Sinensis Extract further support skin revitalization and calming, though the concentrations may not be potent enough to fully address significant irritation.
- The product is safe for your sensitive skin, containing soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica Extract and Camellia Sinensis Extract with no harsh or prohibited components.
