How it works
Camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf water leads this serum's ingredient list, ahead of even plain water, with Artemisia capillaris, a mugwort-family botanical, second and panthenol third. That order places the two calming botanicals ahead of every glycol and thickener on the list. Allantoin and dipotassium glycyrrhizate, a licorice derivative, sit further down to reinforce the soothing profile, and mangosteen peel extract and butterfly pea flower extract close out the botanical cast. With no fragrance or silicone on the list, the water-light texture is positioned for skin that looks stressed, reactive, or acne-prone, absorbing quickly without residue.
Key benefits
- Green tea leaf water is the first ingredient, ahead of plain water
- Panthenol sits third on the list to soothe and hydrate
- Artemisia and allantoin steady reactive, flush-prone skin
- Double size of the 30 ml, same Korean-market formula

Beauty of Joseon Calming Serum: Green Tea + Panthenol
What is the first ingredient in this calming serum?
Camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf water is the first ingredient, ahead of plain water, with mugwort (Artemisia Capillaris) extract second and panthenol third. That order is why the serum is described as leading with the green tea and mugwort pairing.
Is this the 30 ml or 60 ml bottle?
This listing is the 60 ml bottle, double the size of the brand's 30 ml version of this serum. It is the same green tea and panthenol formula, just in the larger size.
Is this serum suitable for acne-prone skin?
The formula carries no fragrance or silicone on its ingredient list and leans on soothing botanicals, green tea, mugwort, panthenol, and allantoin, rather than heavier emollients. That combination is why it is positioned for sensitive and acne-prone skin that wants calming without added weight.
What backs the calming claim beyond the green tea?
Allantoin and dipotassium glycyrrhizate, a licorice-derived ingredient, sit further down the list to support the soothing profile. Mangosteen peel extract and butterfly pea flower extract round out the botanical finish behind them.
How can I confirm this is the authentic Korean-market Beauty of Joseon formula, not a US reformulation?
Beauty of Joseon verifies its products by sourcing chain rather than a scan, because the brand has retired its own QR verification and is phasing out its authenticity seal. Your unit arrives with its Korean-market barcode and batch code intact, not swapped for an export label, and we publish exactly where we buy. That intact packaging is the record the brand itself points to now that its earlier scan-based check is gone.

How to use
- Use it straight after toner, morning and evening, with your moisturizer over the top.
- Three or four drops covers the face; press it in rather than spreading it thin.
- On a day when skin feels hot, do two passes and let the first one settle first.
- Do not keep it for bad days only; it does more as a daily step than as an occasional rescue.
Worth knowing
- Patch-test on a small area first if you are new to this formula or to the brand.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water and this formula's other named actives are new to your skin the first time you use it, so introduce it a few times a week before moving to daily use if your skin runs sensitive.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Pantothenol is a common ingredient in skin care and hair products I recommend, particularly for people who are prone to dryness.
Taylor Bullock, MDDermatology resident, Cleveland Clinic Additionally, it has been shown to improve dry skin in those with atopic dermatitis. It also can be good for those with acne-prone skin because of the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.
