Skin type
Sensitive skin
Skin that reacts easily — stinging, redness, or flushing with little provocation.
How it usually shows up
- Stings or tingles with products other people tolerate
- Flushes easily with heat, weather or stress
- Visible redness across the cheeks and nose
- Reacts to fragrance and to changes in routine
What tends to be difficult
- Hard to tell which ingredient caused a reaction
- Recommended actives often cause more harm than good
- Skin can be sensitive and congested at the same time
What a routine for this skin type aims to do
Calm, soothe, and gently brighten.
The ingredients we build it around
- Centella Asiatica (Cica)
- Aloe Vera
- Licorice Root Extract
- Chamomile
Your own routine is decided by a Skinwise expert after your Skin Check — this is the starting point, not the prescription.
Common mistakes
- Introducing several new products at once, making the trigger impossible to identify
- Assuming 'natural' means non-irritating — plenty of botanical extracts sting
- Pushing through stinging in the belief that it means the product is working
- Over-exfoliating in response to rough texture caused by a damaged barrier
