  • Regular price £13.99
Beauty of Joseon Calming Serum: Green Tea + Panthenol is a soothing serum made with green tea leaf water, mugwort (artemisia capillaris) extract and panthenol. It helps skin that looks red or feels stressed settle down, and keeps it hydrated, soft and comfortable. What it doesGreen tea and mugwort are classic Korean calming ingredients with antioxidant properties. Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) hydrates and supports the moisture barrier, while allantoin and dipotassium glycyrrhizate, from liquorice root, add comfort. Glycerin, betaine and sodium hyaluronate hold water in the skin. Why we chose itWe chose it as a simple calming and hydrating layer: green tea, mugwort and panthenol do the main work, and there is no fragrance in the listed ingredients. It makes a comfortable calming layer on the nights you use a retinal such as Purito TXA 6% + Niacinamide 10% + Retinal Serum.

Beauty of Joseon Calming Serum: Green Tea + Panthenol is a soothing serum made with green tea leaf water, mugwort (artemisia capillaris) extract and panthenol. It helps skin that looks red or feels stressed settle down, and keeps it hydrated, soft and comfortable.

What it does

Green tea and mugwort are classic Korean calming ingredients with antioxidant properties. Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) hydrates and supports the moisture barrier, while allantoin and dipotassium glycyrrhizate, from liquorice root, add comfort. Glycerin, betaine and sodium hyaluronate hold water in the skin.

Why we chose it

We chose it as a simple calming and hydrating layer: green tea, mugwort and panthenol do the main work, and there is no fragrance in the listed ingredients. It makes a comfortable calming layer on the nights you use a retinal such as Purito TXA 6% + Niacinamide 10% + Retinal Serum.

Best for

  • Skin that looks red or feels irritated
  • Sensitive or easily stressed skin
  • Blemish-prone skin that needs calming
  • Skin that feels dry or tight after actives or sun
  • Oily or combination skin that still wants hydration

Not ideal if

  • You react to plant extracts: it contains mugwort, green tea and several other plant extracts
  • You want a targeted serum for dark spots or lines: this is a calming, hydrating step

Key ingredients

  • Camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf water: antioxidant calm
  • Artemisia capillaris (mugwort) extract: soothing
  • Panthenol: hydration and barrier support
  • Allantoin and dipotassium glycyrrhizate: comfort
  • Sodium hyaluronate, glycerin and betaine: hydration

Texture and finish

A lightweight serum that glides on and absorbs quickly. Lookfantastic describe a subtle, calming aroma, though no fragrance is listed.

Where it goes in your routine

After toner, before moisturiser, morning and evening. Pat 2 to 3 drops into the skin, as the box directs, then follow with your moisturiser. In the morning, finish with sunscreen.

What to expect

Skin feels calmer and more hydrated straight after use. A calmer look over time depends on steady use and a gentle routine.

  • Use morning and evening, after toner and before moisturiser.
  • Apply 2 to 3 drops to the face and pat gently to help it absorb, as the box directs.
  • Keep it away from the eyes: the box warns to avoid eye contact.
  • Follow with moisturiser, and sunscreen in the morning.
  • On the evenings you use a retinal or an exfoliating acid, it works well as the calming layer in that routine (our suggestion).
  • Patch test first if you react to plant extracts.

Good to know

  • No fragrance in the listed ingredients
  • No retinoid and no exfoliating acids
  • Contains plant extracts, including mugwort, green tea and neem
  • Box warnings: for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children. If discomfort or sensitivity occurs, stop using it and consult a physician.

Will it help with redness?

It is a calming, hydrating layer that helps stressed skin look and feel calmer, and Beauty of Joseon design it for irritated and sensitive skin. It is a cosmetic serum, not a treatment, so if your redness is persistent or comes with stinging or bumps, it is worth getting it looked at.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Often, but it depends on your skin. There is no fragrance in the listed ingredients, and no retinoid or exfoliating acid. It does contain several plant extracts, including mugwort and green tea, so patch test first if plant extracts have bothered you before.

Can oily or blemish-prone skin use it?

Yes, it can suit both: it is a lightweight serum that absorbs quickly. It is a calming step, though, not a blemish treatment, so it won't replace an active you already use for breakouts.

Can I use it with retinal or exfoliating acids?

Yes. That is one of the main reasons we stock it: it has no actives of its own, so it fits as a calming layer on the nights you use something like Purito TXA 6% + Niacinamide 10% + Retinal Serum.
