Hanyul Artemisia Soothing Gel Cream (Vegan) — calming, hydrating gel moisturizer for sensitive skin

This Korean gel-cream combines a proprietary Artemisia-Cica™ complex with niacinamide and panthenol to calm irritation, even skin tone, and reinforce barrier function without heavy oils. Designed for reactive and acne-prone skin, it absorbs quickly, leaves a dewy finish, and is formulated to avoid pore-clogging ingredients. Clinical instrument tests show prolonged hydration and measurable cooling and barrier benefits after application.*

How does this gel cream help reduce redness and irritation?

The formula blends Ganghwa artemisia extract with Centella asiatica (cica) to deliver calming botanical actives that target visible redness and sensitivity. Niacinamide complements these ingredients by helping to even skin tone while panthenol supports barrier recovery.

• Artemisia-Cica™ complex soothes and calms stressed skin
• Centella (cica) reduces the appearance of inflammation
• Niacinamide helps brighten and even tone
• Panthenol assists in barrier repair for less reactivity

Will this moisturizer hydrate without clogging pores?

Yes — the gel-cream texture provides rich hydration while remaining non-comedogenic and lightweight on the skin. It delivers rapid absorption and a refreshingly cool sensation, making it suitable under makeup or as part of a nighttime routine.

• Gel-cream base for quick absorption and non-greasy finish
• Formulated without heavy occlusives or pore-blocking ingredients
• Instrumental testing indicates up to 72 hours of hydration after application*
• Dermatologist-tested and acne-prone friendly

How quickly does it improve skin barrier and temperature?

Clinical instrumentation showed strengthened barrier function within one hour and a noticeable skin-cooling effect after a single application following heat exposure. These results reflect immediate supportive effects rather than permanent structural changes.

• Barrier support improvement observed within 1 hour in testing*
• Measured reduction in skin surface temperature after heat exposure**
• Panthenol and soothing botanicals help reduce transepidermal water loss
