How it works
The Calming Serum: Green Tea + Panthenol is Beauty of Joseon's serum, built around Panthenol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water and Allantoin. Skin that reads red or reactive is usually asked to calm down with panthenol alone, buried somewhere mid-list. Here the calming argument starts at the top: Camellia sinensis leaf water is entry one, Artemisia capillaris, mugwort, is entry two, and panthenol takes three, ahead of every thickener and preservative that follows. Allantoin and dipotassium glycyrrhizate back it up further down the list, and mangosteen peel extract and butterfly pea flower extract round out a formula with no fragrance and no silicone. This 30 ml bottle sits below the brand's 60 ml size of the same serum. Pat it into skin before a heavier moisturizer.
Key benefits
- Green tea leaf water, mugwort extract and panthenol lead the list at entries one through three, in that order
- Allantoin and dipotassium glycyrrhizate back the calming argument further down the list
- Mangosteen peel extract and butterfly pea flower extract, two botanicals rarely seen in Western formulas, round out the finish
- No fragrance, no silicone on the list
- 30 ml, the brand's smaller size of this serum; a 60 ml bottle is also in the catalog
- Sourced for the Korean market, Korean barcode 8809738316412 intact on the box

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 even plain water, with Artemisia capillaris (a mugwort-family botanical) second and panthenol third. That order is why the serum is described as leading with green tea and mugwort rather than a diluted, generic base.
Does this serum contain fragrance or silicone?
No parfum, fragrance, or silicone appears anywhere on this serum's own ingredient list. That fragrance-free, silicone-free formulation is part of why it is positioned for skin that looks red, stressed, or reactive.
What ingredients back the calming claim beyond the green tea and mugwort?
Allantoin and dipotassium glycyrrhizate, a licorice derivative, sit further down the ingredient list to reinforce the soothing profile. Mangosteen peel extract and butterfly pea flower extract, two botanicals rarely seen in Western formulas, round out the finish.
Is this the 30 ml or 60 ml bottle?
This listing is the 30 ml bottle, the brand's smaller size of this serum. A 60 ml bottle of the same green tea and panthenol formula is also in the catalog.
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 the Calming Serum: Green Tea + Panthenol after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening.
- Three or four drops covers the whole face. Press it in with flat palms instead of rubbing it around.
- Toner first so the surface is damp, then this, then about a minute before your moisturizer goes over the top.
- Twice a day, every day. Do not stack it with a second serum of the same kind; two hydrating serums in one routine do the work of one.
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.
