What is sensitive skin?

Sensitivity may be innate or acquired from over-treating. Core strategy: barrier repair, then slow optimisation.

  • Over-exfoliation/retinoid misuse
  • Fragrances/surfactants
  • Temperature, stress

Treatments we may recommend

Barrier facials LED

  • LED + lipids/ceramides to restore comfort.

At-home support

  • Short INCI lists; ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids.
  • SPF daily; re-introduce actives slowly.
