Skincare Products for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is a condition where the skin is more prone to irritation from environmental factors, skincare products, and/or stress.

Common signs include itching, tightness, and dryness that are commonly triggered by harsh skin products, changes in weather, environmental toxins, and/or excessive showering.

If you have easily-irritated skin, you need to incorporate Clarins’ ultra-gentle formulas into your routine to provide much-needed soothing care and protection. Core properties of the best skincare products for sensitive skin include:

1. Calming & soothing ingredients: plant extracts like Lemon Balm, Mango, and Cocoa Powder Extract soothe and comfort skin.
2. Moisture-rich formulas: since sensitive skin and dry skin go hand in hand, you need skincare products that provide a much-needed hydration boost and protect the skin’s moisture-barrier.

As for your day-to-day routine, avoid excessive time bathing or showering, hydrate with water frequently, remove makeup before bed, and always test out new skin products before incorporating them into your routine.

Explore these gentle skincare products hand-crafted by the scientists at Clarins Labs to nourish and protect sensitive skin.

Incorporate these essentials into your skincare routine:

Cleanser

The best cleanser for sensitive skin is Clarins’ Soothing Gentle Foaming Face Cleanser with its hydrating, softening, and nourishing properties that gently dissolves impurities, pollutants, and makeup for instant comfort.

Toner

Choose Soothing Toning Face Lotion to hydrate and tone sensitive skin while leaving skin visibly softer, smoother, and comfortable. Balance the skin’s microbiota for all day hydration. Use your toner to remove every bit of cleanser.

Moisturizer

Bright Plus Dark Spot-Targeting Moisturizing Gel Cream is a great choice for oily or combination skin but also works as your delicate/sensitive skin moisturizer. This Vitamin-C enriched face gel-cream gently and effectively hydrates the skin while visibly reducing the appearance of dark spots to leave you looking and feeling totally refreshed.

Face Oil

Consider Santal Soothing Face Treatment Oil as your sensitive skin face oil. Its 100% plant based skin-calming formula nourishes and comforts for a visibly soft and smooth appearance.

You can have easily-irritated skin that is also dry and/or oily. Here’s what to know about these skin-types and the type of gentle skin care products you’ll want to look:

1. Dry skin: dryness is commonly associated with sensitive skin. Dry skin stems from a lack of moisture. You’ll want to seek out gentle skincare products with hydrating properties to give your skin a much-needed moisture boost and balance your skin’s microbiota.
2. Oily skin: oily skin has a greasy feeling to the touch and stems from excessive production of sebum that enlarges pores. The best oily skin products have mattifying properties that reduce the amount of sebum produced and visibly minimize pores.
3. Combination skin: if you have dry patches as well as oily skin in the T-Zone (forehead, nose, and chin) you have a combination skin-type. Combination skin care products have balancing properties, meaning that they hydrate and mattify to target both dry and oily skin.
