If your skin tends to react easily, introducing a new product isn’t always straightforward. Finding a face serum for sensitive skin means choosing formulas that hydrate, calm and support your skin - without triggering irritation.
At Green People, we have spent over 25 years perfecting fragrance-free formulas that offer deep hydration without the use of harsh ingredients. Our scent-free range is specifically designed to support the skin barrier while delivering the visible results you expect from a premium serum.

What makes a good serum for sensitive skin?
A high-quality serum for sensitive skin should focus on natural ingredients that deliver benefits to the skin. Many conventional serums rely on synthetic fragrances or drying alcohols to create a specific texture, but these are often the primary culprits for stinging and flare-ups.
Instead, look for humectants that draw moisture into the skin without weight or greasiness. Pure Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera and Seaweed Extracts provide a soothing moisture surge that helps to reinforce the skin's natural protective barrier against environmental stressors.
Why choose Green People?
We believe that sensitive skin deserves the purest ingredients nature has to offer. Since 1997, we have been pioneers in the organic beauty industry, helping to inform the very first standards for organic cosmetics in the UK.
Our scent-free serums and wider scent-free skin care collection are formulated entirely without essential oils or artificial fragrances. This "neutral" approach ensures that even those who may be prone to eczema or rosacea can enjoy a luxurious, effective skin care routine.
"When I first started formulating my sensitive skin collection, I knew that removing fragrance was essential for calming reactivity. Our scent-free serums are the culmination of that journey, offering pure, potent hydration using only the gentlest organic ingredients."
- Charlotte Vøhtz, Founder of Green People
Best overall hydration for all sensitive skin types
If you are looking for a fast-acting moisture boost, the Scent Free Hyaluronic Booster Serum is a versatile hero that is suitable for all skin types. This lightweight, natural serum is dermatologically tested and designed to "uncap" hydration in a bottle, leaving the skin feeling youthful and refreshed.
The formula uses Hyaluronic Acid to attract and bind hydration into deeper layers of skin. Combined with soothing organic Aloe Vera and Chamomile, it helps to calm redness while actively plumping fine lines, making it a favourite for those who find traditional anti-ageing products too harsh.

While a serum provides the active treatment your skin needs, it works best when supported by a consistent, non-irritating routine. To lock in the benefits of your serum, we recommend following with a cream cleanser and a protective moisturiser from our fragrance-free range.
Whether you are prepping your skin for the day with SPF or settling in for a restorative night's sleep, using products from the same family helps to ensure ingredient compatibility. Explore these complementary essentials to build your perfect sensitive skin regime.
