## What the research says

- Artemisia princeps-derived nanovesicles accelerate cell proliferation, decrease senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity, inhibit MMP-1 activity more effectively than EGCG, and increase procollagen type I expression in human dermal cells and skin models. ([Journal of Extracellular Biology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40292385/))
- Artemisia annua aqueous extract increased the itching threshold, inhibited TSLP expression, and promoted FLG mRNA expression in in vitro and in vivo models. ([Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37604330/))
- Artemisia Capillaris Thunb. extract protects human HaCaT keratinocytes from UVB-induced apoptosis and inflammation by suppressing the cGAS/STING signaling pathway. ([Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology. B, Biology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39032373/))

## Why other toners fit dry sensitive skin better

([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20384903/))
- Topical water-in-oil cream containing 3% Crocus sativus extract demonstrated absolute physical stability across various storage conditions and produced a significant increase in skin moisture and changes in transepidermal water loss compared to the base in human volunteers. ([Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25362612/))
- A formulation containing glycerol (5%) and xylitol (5%) applied twice daily for 14 days increased skin hydration, filaggrin protein quantity, interdigitation index, and biomechanical properties, and decreased transepidermal water loss compared to untreated and vehicle-treated skin in twelve volunteers with dry skin.

## Questions and answers

### How well does I'm From Mugwort work for dry sensitive skin?

I'm From Mugwort Essence works okay for dry sensitive skin by calming irritation and providing some hydration, but other products fit this skin type better. To truly comfort dry sensitive skin, a product of this type needs rich softening and moisture-locking ingredients that deeply nourish and protect the skin barrier.

Artemisia Princeps Extract helps calm inflammation and brings hydration to dry sensitive skin. Because this toner lacks enough softening and sealing ingredients, dry skin needs formulas packed with richer hydrators, oils, and soothing plant extracts.

Artemisia Princeps Extract helps calm dry sensitive skin by reducing inflammation and supports the skin barrier to keep it soft and comfortable. It is unlikely to irritate, and this type of skin needs ingredients that boost moisture and soothe irritation.

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

This soothing toner goes after cleansing in the morning and evening for your dry sensitive skin. It helps calm irritation, but this skin type needs extra rich moisturizing ingredients that lock in moisture and soften dry patches.

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

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

This toner is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on dry sensitive skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients in the formula.
