Sensitive skin reacts quickly, sometimes from products, sometimes from weather, sometimes from stress alone. Redness, heat, stinging, or tightness can show up even when you’re doing your best to be gentle. When the skin barrier is fragile, even small triggers feel big.
The best way to care for sensitive skin is to keep things simple: calm irritation, support the moisture barrier, and choose low-irritation hydration that your skin can trust every day.
Start with a gentle, low-irritation cleanse
Sensitive skin needs cleansing that feels thorough but never harsh. The goal is to remove sunscreen, makeup, and daily buildup without leaving your skin feeling tight or stripped.
In the evening, begin with 1025 Dokdo Cleansing Oil. This lightweight oil melts away sunscreen, makeup, and excess sebum while helping maintain moisture balance. It rinses clean without heavy residue, making it suitable even for easily irritated skin.
Follow with 1025 Dokdo Cleanser, a slightly acidic, foamy cleanser that uses mineral-rich deep sea water to purify the skin while maintaining a healthy pH. It removes impurities without over-drying, helping sensitive skin feel clean but comfortable.
If your skin is feeling especially stressed or red, you can also reach for Mugwort Calming Cleanser. Infused with mugwort extract and soothing ingredients, it gently cleanses while helping to calm visible redness and support the barrier.
Use a toner that restores balance
After cleansing, a gentle toner can help reset your skin—hydrating, softening, and supporting the barrier so it’s less reactive throughout the day.
1025 Dokdo Toner is a great everyday option for sensitive skin. Powered by deep sea water, it delivers lightweight hydration and helps maintain a healthy moisture balance. The simple, low-fragrance formula makes it ideal for skin that prefers minimal, non-irritating ingredients.
For those days when redness and sensitivity feel more intense, you can alternate or layer with Mugwort Calming Toner. Mugwort extract and madecassoside help soothe irritation, calm visible redness, and gently replenish moisture without stickiness.
Choose treatments that hydrate and soothe
Sensitive skin often needs hydration that feels light on the surface but still reaches deeper layers. Heavy, overly complex formulas can overwhelm it, so focus on simple, soothing treatments.
For daily use, apply a few drops of 1025 Dokdo Ampoule after toner. Its watery texture absorbs quickly, delivering mineral-rich moisture that helps calm and hydrate without weight. It’s especially helpful for skin that feels both tight and reactive.
If your skin is both sensitive and prone to breakouts or redness, pair the Dokdo Ampoule with Mugwort Calming Toner or finish with Mugwort Cream (below) for extra soothing care.
Seal in moisture with calming creams
To keep sensitive skin comfortable, you’ll want a moisturizer that locks in hydration while helping the barrier recover, without feeling heavy or greasy.
1025 Dokdo Cream is a hydration-focused cream powered by deep sea water and multiple hydrating ingredients. It delivers long-lasting moisture and gentle care for tired, irritated skin, making it a strong daily choice for sensitive types.
When your skin feels hot, red, or easily triggered—or if you’re dealing with sensitivity plus blemishes—switch to or layer with Mugwort Calming Cream. Mugwort extract, vitamins, and madecassoside help soothe irritation, support the barrier, and calm the look of stressed or inflamed skin with a lightweight, dewy finish.
Keep your routine simple and consistent
Sensitive skin usually responds best to consistency. Once you find products that work, resist the urge to change everything at once. Introduce new steps slowly, one at a time, and give your skin a chance to adjust.
Daily sun protection is also critical. UV exposure can worsen redness and break down the barrier over time, so finish your morning routine with a gentle, hydrating sunscreen that your skin tolerates well.
Comfortable, quiet skin is possible
With the right routine, sensitive skin doesn’t have to feel unpredictable. The 1025 Dokdo line offers gentle, mineral-rich hydration and pH-balanced cleansing for everyday comfort, while the Mugwort Calming line adds targeted soothing care for days when redness and irritation feel stronger.
By listening to your skin and choosing calming, barrier-supporting products, you can help it feel softer, quieter, and more resilient over time.
