If new products often make your skin sting, turn red, or itch, fragrance could be part of the problem. Added fragrance is one of the most common causes of skin irritation. Choosing fragrance-free products is one of the simplest ways to calm sensitive skin.
Signs your skin is sensitive
- Stinging or burning when you apply products
- Redness that comes and goes
- Itching or tightness after cleansing
- Reacting to heat, sun, or new products
What fragrance-free really means
Fragrance-free means no fragrance has been added. The product may still have a faint natural scent from its ingredients, and that is normal.
A serum made for sensitive skin
The PURITO SEOUL Wonder Releaf Centella Serum Unscented is a fragrance-free favourite for sensitive skin.
- Cica (centella) extract: helps soothe irritation and reduce the look of redness
- Allantoin: calms and comforts the skin
- Peptides: help revitalise the skin
- Texture: a watery gel with a slight cooling feel and a glowy finish

How to use it
- After cleansing and toner, place 2 to 3 drops in your palms.
- Press gently into your face. Avoid rubbing.
- Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning.
A simple routine for sensitive skin
- Keep it short: fewer products mean fewer chances of irritation.
- Serum: PURITO Centella Serum Unscented
- Moisturizer: a calming cream such as SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream

Try it first: the serum also comes in a 15 ml mini size.
