Sensitive skin, calmed and protected
Sensitive skin reacts easily. It can sting, burn, itch or turn red after products or weather that other skin ignores. It isn’t about oil: any skin type can be sensitive. This regime is short and fragrance-free on purpose, because with sensitive skin, fewer products is the kinder choice.
- Concern: Redness & sensitivity
- Reacts: Often
- Routine: Keep it minimal
The science, simply
What sensitive skin needs
Fewer, gentler products
Every product is a chance to react. Start with three and add slowly, if at all.
Fragrance-free, every step
Fragrance is one of the most common causes of skin reactions to cosmetics. Every product here is fragrance-free.
Protect from triggers
Daily SPF30 or higher. Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) are often the best tolerated.

Left out, on purpose
What we left out, and why
Anua Rice Enzyme Cleansing Powder
Enzymes and lactic acid exfoliate. Too much for reactive skin while it settles.
Anua Peach 77 Toner, Peach 70 Serum and Peach 70 Mask
All three contain a mild exfoliant, and the serum lists fragrance.
Add one thing, slowly
If your skin has stayed calm, patch test one new product and leave two weeks before the next.
Go slowly
Introduce it in stages
Cleanser, cream and SPF
Patch test each one first. Nothing else.
Add the morning serum
Only if your skin has stayed calm.
Add the evening serum
Stop anything that stings, burns or itches, and give your skin a week to settle.
What to expect
Calmer, more comfortable skin usually shows within two to four weeks. If you’re still reacting to a very simple routine, that’s a reason to see a dermatologist, not to add more products.
Honest notes
Care with care
Be careful with
- Adding more than one new product at a time. Leave two weeks between each.
- Fragrance, essential oils, alcohol-heavy toners and scrubs.
- Very hot water, and rubbing with towels or cloths. Pat dry instead.
See a doctor or dermatologist if
- Burning, stinging or redness lasts, even with gentle products.
- You flush easily, or see small visible blood vessels or bumps on the cheeks and nose (this can be rosacea).
- You get itchy, scaly patches, or a reaction only where a product touched (this can be eczema or a contact allergy, which a dermatologist can patch test for).
JIHWA can’t diagnose skin conditions. A doctor or dermatologist can, and some conditions need prescription treatment that no skincare product replaces.
How to patch test
Apply a small amount to your inner forearm and leave it for 24 hours. No redness, burning or itching? Try it on a small patch along your jaw for a few days before using it all over.
Your regime
Ready when you are.
Start with the essentials. The full regime is there when your skin is ready. Bring your own fragrance-free SPF30 or higher for mornings.
Essentials: Anua 8 Hyaluronic Acid Gel Cleanser + Anua Heartleaf 70 Intense Calming Cream, plus your own fragrance-free SPF.
