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, toners, and masks with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, panthenol, and centella asiatica extract help calm redness and stinging. Serums and moisturizers with niacinamide, ceramides, and snail secretion filtrate strengthen the skin to reduce reactions to new products.
The morning routine prepares the skin for the day by cleaning off the night, hydrating, and protecting with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while the skin rests and is away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week to add deeper steps like exfoliation and masks for sensitive skin.
