sensitivity mild
Sensitive Skin · 민감성 피부
Also called: reactive skin · easily irritated · 민감 피부 · 저자극 필요
What it is
Sensitive skin reacts more easily than average to actives, fragrance, environmental stress, or even mechanical friction — with stinging, redness, or transient bumps. It is a baseline type rather than a single condition.
한국어 설명
민감성 피부는 활성 성분·향료·환경 스트레스·물리적 마찰에 평균보다 쉽게 반응한다 (따가움·홍조·일시적 트러블). 단일 질환이 아니라 베이스라인 타입으로 본다.
Common triggers
- fragrance and essential oils
- high-percentage actives
- weather change (cold, dry)
- over-cleansing
- abrasive textures
K-beauty approach
K-beauty for sensitive skin: fragrance-free or low-fragrance products, centella- and madecassoside-led soothing, gentle low-pH cleansers, panthenol- and beta-glucan-supported hydration, and very gradual introduction of any active.
한국어 설명
민감 피부용 K-뷰티: 무향·저향료 + 시카·마데카쏘사이드 중심 진정 + 저자극 저pH 클렌저 + 판테놀·베타글루칸 보습 + 활성 성분은 극도로 점진적으로 도입.

When to see a clinician
If sensitivity escalates into chronic flares, hives, or persistent eczema, see a dermatologist or allergist — sensitivity that worsens may signal contact dermatitis or another condition.
