Sensitive skin

Sensitive skin is not a skin type like any other. It is a condition that can manifest itself in many ways: redness, burning, tingling, dryness or a feeling of discomfort even after using common products. Sometimes it is accompanied by rosacea, other times it appears for no specific reason. What is certain, however, is that it must be treated gently and carefully.

Those with sensitive skin often feel frustrated: many products promise results, but few manage to truly respect skin fragility. This is why tailor-made skincare with soothing ingredients is needed.

Skincare for sensitive skin: less is more

When it comes to skincare for sensitive skin, there is only one rule: avoid the superfluous. Too many actives, artificial perfumes, alcohol or aggressive ingredients can make things worse. Better to focus on a few well-formulated, gentle products tested on reactive skin. An ideal routine could be this:

  • A facial cleanser for sensitive skin that is gentle and without harsh fragrances. Choose creamy textures or non-foaming gels.
  • A face cream for sensitive skin, soothing and moisturising, formulated to strengthen the skin barrier.
  • If you also have dryness, opt for a face cream for dry and sensitive skin with moisturising and nourishing active ingredients (such as ceramides, panthenol, shea butter).

If you have sensitive and reactive skin, choose a cream with a few ingredients, specifically to reduce irritation and redness. Some formulas contain low-concentration niacinamide, allantoin, colloidal oats or bisabolol, perfect for soothing the skin.

Finally, don't forget an often underestimated but essential step: sunscreen should be used every day, even when the sky is cloudy or you are not at the beach. Sensitive skin is particularly vulnerable to UV rays and climatic changes, which can intensify redness, irritation and dehydration. Applying a cream with SPF is a simple yet powerful gesture to defend the skin and keep it stable over time.

What if I have rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition that causes persistent redness, visible capillaries and sometimes acne-like pustules. It is not just a cosmetic issue: it is a skin that suffers and needs to be treated very carefully.


In such cases, it is important to use only products tested for hypersensitive skin, to avoid sudden changes in temperature, alcohol in cosmetics and to favour light, non-occlusive textures. Many people with rosacea find relief in a face cream for sensitive and reactive skin with soothing and anti-redness actives. Daily skincare really does make a difference: cleansing gently, moisturising consistently and protecting from the sun are the three fundamentals for keeping symptoms under control.

Say goodbye to redness: your skin just needs attention

Having sensitive skin does not mean you have to give up taking care of yourself. It simply means learning to listen and care for it, then choosing the right products and creating a routine that protects, moisturises and respects its delicate nature.

Frequently asked questions about sensitive skin

  • How can I tell if I have sensitive skin? If your skin becomes easily reddened, irritated after cleansing or reacts to many cosmetic products, you probably have sensitive skin. In some cases it is a temporary condition, in others it may be continuous.
  • What ingredients should be avoided? Denatured alcohol, artificial perfumes, strong essential oils, unbuffered exfoliating acids. Even very foaming products can be too aggressive.
  • Can I use anti-ageing treatments on sensitive skin? Yes, but choose gentle formulas with low concentrations and well-tolerated active ingredients (such as niacinamide or Bakuchiol, a plant alternative to retinol). Even better if tested on reactive skin.
