We’ve answered your common questions about Sensitive Skin.

Why is my skin sensitive?

Sensitive skin occurs when the skin barrier is compromised, making it more reactive to environmental triggers, skincare products, and allergens. Causes include genetics, harsh skincare ingredients, over-exfoliation, sun exposure, and skin conditions like rosacea or eczema. Strengthening the skin barrier with hydrating and soothing ingredients can help reduce sensitivity.

Can sensitive skin use vitamin C?

Yes, but sensitive skin should use a gentle form of vitamin C, such as magnesium ascorbyl phosphate or sodium ascorbyl phosphate, which are less acidic and more stable than pure ascorbic acid. Look for low-concentration (5-10%) vitamin C serums combined with soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid or niacinamide to reduce irritation.

Can sensitive skin use retinol?

Yes, sensitive skin can use retinol, but it’s best to choose microencapsulated retinol, which slowly releases into the skin to minimize irritation. Start with a low concentration (0.25-0.5%), apply it 2-3 times a week, and always follow with a moisturizer. Retinol alternatives like bakuchiol are also great for sensitive skin.

What causes sensitive skin?

Sensitive skin can be caused by a weakened skin barrier, dehydration, allergies, sun damage, and overuse of harsh skincare products. External factors like pollution, weather changes, and irritating ingredients (fragrances, alcohol, sulfates) can also trigger sensitivity. Using gentle, fragrance-free, and hydrating skincare helps maintain a balanced, healthy complexion.

Which sunscreen is best for sensitive skin?

The best sunscreen for sensitive skin is a mineral-based (physical) sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, as they provide broad-spectrum UV protection without irritation. Look for fragrance-free, non-comedogenic formulas with soothing ingredients like niacinamide, ceramides, or aloe vera for added skin comfort.

Is your routine all set?

A full skincare routine is essential because your skin needs more than basic cleansing and hydration to stay healthy. Cleansers remove dirt, but serums target specific issues like aging or dark spots, while moisturizers lock in hydration and sunscreen protects from damage. Investing in the full routine ensures long-term skin health and visible results.
