ETUDE SoonJung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream 60ml

Best Korean moisturiser for sensitive skin

This next pick is for anyone with sensitive, dry or combo skin looking for a moisturiser that is gentle and oh-so-hydrating without the feeling of heaviness or greasiness. I recently began using prescription-grade tretinoin and I attribute my lack of retinol side effects (i.e., minimal dryness, peeling, irritation) to this barrier-supporting face moisturiser. It's filled with super-hydrator, glycerin, and a series of three wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, skin-soothing ingredients (shout out to panthenol, madecassoside, and green tea extract).

Product type: Face moisturiser

Size: 60ml

Key ingredients: Panthenol, vitamin E, madecassoside, glycerin

Glowing customer review: "I was kinda stunned when I finally stumbled on this after a ridiculous amount of trial and error. Effectively and chemically, it’s a great product, especially for those of you with dry, acne-prone, and/or sensitive skin. Not only did it pass my ingredient decoder test with flying colors, but it actually followed through on its claims in practice."
