In the context of Korean skin care, "Redness & Irritation" refers to redness and irritation of the skin, often caused by environmental factors, harsh ingredients, or sensitive skin. Redness and irritation can manifest as inflamed areas, a burning sensation, or an overall reddish complexion, which often indicates a stressed skin barrier.

Common Causes of Redness & Irritation:

• Skin Sensitivity : Sensitive skin can quickly become red and irritated by certain ingredients or external factors.
• Environmental factors : Exposure to sun, wind, extreme temperatures or pollution may cause redness and irritation.
• Use of active ingredients : Strong exfoliants, retinoids, or high concentrations of active ingredients such as vitamin C can sometimes cause temporary redness, especially with new use.
• Skin damage : Acne, allergic reactions or rough treatments such as scrubbing can irritate the skin.

How Korean Skin Care Helps With Redness & Irritation:

Korean skin care often focuses on soothing the skin by using ingredients such as:

• Centella Asiatica : Soothes and restores the skin barrier.
• Aloe Vera : Has a cooling effect and helps reduce redness.
• Chamomile : Provides anti-inflammatory properties and reduces irritation.
• Allantoin and Panthenol : Soothe and hydrate the skin, and help calm irritation.

K-beauty products that target Redness & Irritation are designed to soothe, hydrate and strengthen the skin's natural barrier, which helps reduce redness and irritation and keep skin comfortable and healthy.
