What is it?
Beauty of Joseon Calming Serum: Green Tea + Panthenol is a soothing treatment serum designed for skin that’s easily irritated, red, or sensitised from UV, acne treatments or over-exfoliation.
It’s built around a high concentration of hanbang ingredients:
-
50.9% Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Water – antioxidant-rich, helps reduce redness and defend against UV-induced damage.
-
30% Artemisia Capillaris (Mugwort) Extract – classic Korean herb for calming heat, soothing inflammation and lightly hydrating.
-
5% Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) – strengthens the moisture barrier, boosts hydration and helps skin recover.
The rest of the formula uses glycerin, betaine, sodium hyaluronate, polyquaternium-51, allantoin and licorice-derived dipotassium glycyrrhizate to keep skin hydrated, soft and calm. The texture is a light, slightly viscous serum that sinks in quickly and layers well with other actives.
Who is it for?
✔ Sensitive, easily-irritated or reactive skin
✔ Acne-prone skin with redness, irritation or disrupted barrier
✔ Normal, combination and oily skin that still feels dehydrated or hot
✔ Retinoid / acid users who need a “buffer” calming serum
✔ Anyone who wants an alcohol-free, fragrance-free soothing step
If your skin is frequently hot, stingy, red or just “over it”, this is the serum that helps bring it back down.
Why you’ll love it
-
Green tea for antioxidant calming
Green tea leaf water (50.9%) is rich in catechins like EGCG, which help soothe UV-damaged skin, reduce redness and provide antioxidant protection against environmental stress. -
Mugwort (Artemisia) 30% for extra soothing
Mugwort is a classic K-beauty calming herb, naturally rich in vitamin E. Here it helps cool, hydrate and relieve irritation, ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin. -
5% Panthenol = moisture barrier support
Panthenol at 5% doesn’t just hydrate – it also helps strengthen the lipid barrier, reduce water loss and speed up recovery when your skin has been overworked by actives or sun. -
Humectant + barrier blend for cushiony hydration
Glycerin, butylene glycol, betaine, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer, polyquaternium-51 and sodium hyaluronate pull water into the skin and help it stay there, so you get that soft, bouncy feel instead of tightness. -
Soothing extras for angry skin
Allantoin, dipotassium glycyrrhizate (licorice salt), Coptis japonica root extract and malt extract add a calm-down cocktail: anti-inflammatory, anti-redness and barrier-comforting. -
Texture that plays well with others
It’s water-light and non-sticky, so it layers easily under hydrating serums, niacinamide, retinoids or more targeted treatments without pilling.

-
Step-by-step
- Prep your skin
Cleanse, then apply a hydrating toner or essence.
Skin can be slightly damp – this helps spread and absorption.
- Apply the serum
Use 2–3 drops (or a small pea-sized amount) into clean hands.
Gently spread over face and neck, focusing on:
Areas with redness (cheeks, around nose)
Zones that feel irritated, hot or sensitive
Spots where you use strong actives (retinoids, acids).
- Press & absorb
Use light pressing and patting motions for 30–60 seconds until it sinks in.
- Layer the rest of your routine
Follow with other serums if needed, then moisturiser.
- Daytime = SPF
In the morning, always finish with broad-spectrum SPF 30–50, especially if you’re using exfoliants or retinoids elsewhere in your routine.
-
Tips to get the most out of it
- On retinoid or acid nights:
Cleanser → hydrating toner → Calming Serum → moisturiser.
- If your barrier is really upset, pause strong actives and just do:
Gentle cleanser → Calming Serum → barrier cream → SPF (AM).
- Works nicely mixed (in the palm) with stronger actives to buffer them if you’re feeling a bit sensitised.
Patch-test first. Apply a little behind your ear or on your jawline and wait 24 hours before full use, especially if your skin is very reactive.
