Sensitive Skin & Barrier Care
Reactive skin usually means a barrier that is struggling — so the answer is fewer, gentler products that replace what the barrier is missing. This edit centres on ceramides, humectants and fragrance-free creams. 1 product.
Sensitive Skin & Barrier Care: a short guide
How do I know my barrier is compromised?
Stinging from products that never used to sting, tightness after cleansing, redness and rough, flaky patches. The response is to stop the strong actives, cleanse gently, and moisturise generously for two to four weeks.
What should sensitive skin use?
A milk or other non-foaming cleanser, the Sensitive Skin Moisturiser or the Nourishing Rich Cream — both fragrance free — and the Ceramide Barrier Night Cream in the evening. Patch-test anything new on the inner arm for a couple of days first.
