"In Summer, Makeup Is Like Clothing"...Beauty Items to Soothe Sensitive Skin

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Jo] As skin becomes more sensitive from prolonged mask-wearing and skin temperature rises during the hot summer, more people are experiencing various skin troubles. The importance of hydration and nutrition management to strengthen basic skin resilience is being emphasized, and effective sun care products that block strong ultraviolet rays are gaining attention.

Amorepacific’s Innisfree recently launched the ‘Truecare Vitamin C 20 Ampoule,’ which contains a high concentration of 20% pure vitamin C. This high-potency ampoule from Innisfree’s skin concern specialist line Truecare stabilizes pure vitamin C, which is vulnerable to light and heat, using Truecare’s technology. It contains pure vitamin C sourced from the UK in its original form, noticeably improving skin condition.

Along with pure vitamin C, synergy ingredients such as glutathione, tocopherol, glutathione, panthenol, and vitamin C derivatives are blended. Proven through human application tests to reduce pigmentation area by 10% after just 7 days of use, this whitening functional product effectively improves dull skin tone and rough skin texture. It excludes seven ingredients including silicone oil and synthetic colorants, and its light water-type formulation absorbs quickly, allowing use before makeup without pilling.

Mediheal’s ‘Tea Tree Biome’ skincare trio helps easily weakened and sensitive skin. It is formulated with tea tree leaf water grown in the clean region of Goheung, Jeonnam, and a microbiome resembling a healthy skin ecosystem, uniquely blended by Mediheal. The sebum control and skin-soothing effects of tea tree leaf water combined with the microbiome that supports healthy skin condition help care for tired skin balance and strengthen the skin barrier, fostering the skin’s inherent resilience to cope with external stress.

Able C&C’s A’PIEU recently launched the ‘Super Air Fit Mild Sun Cream’ line, featuring Super Air Fit™ technology that provides a lightweight feel as if not applied. It contains ‘Super Triple Asiatica,’ a complex of ‘asiaticoside,’ ‘madecassic acid,’ and ‘asiatic acid,’ known to help soothe the skin. The Korea Dermatological Research Institute has also completed a human application test for ultrafine dust adsorption prevention.

Cell Fusion C’s ‘Laser Sunscreen 100’ and ‘Toning Sunscreen 100’ not only protect the skin from ultraviolet rays but also address various skin concerns. They help prevent blemishes such as melasma caused by UV rays and skin aging, and are low-irritant, adhering sunscreens safe for sensitive skin, loved consistently across various age groups. The Toning Sunscreen 100 is popular among consumers who want a natural tone-up effect and either want a makeup base function in their sunscreen or prefer light makeup.
