Choosing a Face Cream for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin needs a gentle, considered approach — but it doesn't have to miss out on effective care. The key is choosing well-tolerated formulas and introducing actives thoughtfully.

What sensitive skin needs

• A strong barrier — gentle cleansing and consistent moisturising come first.
• Soothing, simple formulas — fewer potential irritants, well chosen.
• Gradual actives — introduce one at a time and patch-test.

Build a gentle routine

Start with a mild cleanser like the Revive & Renew Cleanser, add a barrier-supporting moisturiser such as Cream Extreme Intensive Repair, and hydrate with a gentle Hyaluronic Acid Serum. Copper peptides are generally well tolerated, making them a good first active. Find more help in Skin Concerns.

Frequently asked questions

Can sensitive skin use anti-ageing actives?

Yes — start gently. Copper peptides are usually well tolerated; introduce retinol slowly and buffer with moisturiser.

How do I know if something will irritate me?

Patch-test on the inner arm or jaw for a few days before applying to the whole face.
