Frequent stinging or burning with new products, easy redness, dryness, and tightness are typical signs of sensitive skin. Skin with a weakened barrier tends to react more strongly to outside factors; the goal of a skincare routine is to help support the repair of this barrier.

High-percentage acids, fragrance- and alcohol-heavy formulas, and harsh abrasive scrubs can increase the risk of irritation. Instead, soothing and repairing ingredients such as ceramides, panthenol, centella asiatica, and niacinamide are generally preferred.

Apply a small amount to the inside of your arm or behind your ear and wait 24-48 hours (patch test). If there's no reaction, try it on a small area of your face for a few days; introduce only one new product to your routine at a time, so you can identify the source of any potential reaction.

A short and simple routine: a gentle cleanser, a ceramide-containing rich moisturizer, and fragrance-free formulas. Avoid washing with very hot water, and consult your dermatologist during periods of itching or flare-ups.
