Sensitivity
Skincare for Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin reacts more readily to products, weather and environmental triggers — often showing as stinging, redness or tightness. This collection prioritises gentle, well-tolerated formulas that still deliver genuine skincare benefit.
What Helps Sensitive Skin
- Ceramides and ceramide-supporting formulas — reinforce the skin barrier
- Hyaluronic acid — hydrates without common irritant triggers; see Hyaluronic Acid
- Fragrance-conscious formulation — reduces one of the most common causes of reaction
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best skincare for sensitive skin?
Gentle, fragrance-conscious formulas with barrier-supporting ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid are generally best tolerated.
How do I know if my skin is sensitive or reactive to a specific product?
Patch testing any new product on a small area for a few days helps distinguish general sensitivity from a reaction to a specific ingredient.
Can sensitive skin use active ingredients like retinol?
Yes, often at a lower strength and frequency, ideally alongside barrier-supporting products — a consultation helps tailor this.
Is sensitive skin the same as an allergy?
Not necessarily — sensitivity is a skin trait, while an allergic reaction is an immune response to a specific allergen. Persistent reactions are worth discussing with a GP.
