FAQs

 

Sensitive skin is a skin condition characterised by discomforting sensations such as stinging, tightness, burning, itching and irritation. These reactions can occur even when exposed to otherwise harmless stimuli. In some cases, these sensations may appear without visible skin changes, while in others redness or inflammation may be present.

 

Sensitive skin is more common than many realise and can affect people of all ages. It may be triggered by environmental factors, skincare products or even certain lifestyle habits. Understanding your skin’s needs and how to care for it can help manage the symptoms and keep your skin healthy and comfortable.

When people refer to "sensitive skin", they may be talking about different skin types or conditions. It's essential to identify the specific symptoms you're experiencing in order to choose the right products for your skin. Here are some common types of sensitive skin, each with distinct characteristics and needs:

 

 

  • General sensitive skin: Generally sensitive skin reacts to a wide range of internal and external triggers, leading to uncomfortable sensations such as tingling, tightness, redness, burning and itching. These reactions may be temporary or become chronic. Common triggers include changes in temperature, water, sweat, certain skincare products, stress and hormonal fluctuations. Everyone's skin is different and what triggers one person may not affect another. Bioderma’s Defensive range is specially designed to strengthen and protect your skin’s natural defenses.

     

  • Skin prone to redness and rosacea: Sensitive skin that is prone to redness often indicates a condition like rosacea. This can lead to sudden, temporary redness or flushing, which may become persistent over time. In some cases, visible blood vessels may appear. Common triggers include temperature changes, alcohol, spicy foods and sometimes medication or illness. Bioderma’s AR+ range is formulated to calm the skin and reduce redness associated with rosacea.

     

  • Sensitive skin prone to redness and scales: Skin that becomes red and scaly may be showing signs of seborrheic dermatitis, a specific skin condition. This type of sensitive skin can be inflamed, with red patches and yellowish scales. It can cause significant discomfort, including itching and burning. Bioderma’s DS+ range helps soothe and treat the discomfort associated with seborrheic dermatitis, offering relief from irritation.

Everyone’s skin is unique, and sensitive skin can react differently to skincare products, environmental changes or certain treatments. If you’re looking for ways to care for sensitive skin, here are four key steps to follow:

 

  1. Diagnose: Book an appointment with a dermatologist to identify the triggers behind your skin’s sensitivity. A professional can recommend the best treatment options and create a tailored skincare plan.
  2. Avoid: Try to minimise exposure to common irritants such as harsh weather (cold winds or direct sun), fragranced skincare products and certain cosmetics that may aggravate sensitive skin.
  3. Cleanse: Choose a gentle, high-tolerance soothing cleanser that is specifically designed for sensitive skin. Avoid harsh scrubs or foaming washes that can strip away natural oils.
  4. Care: Apply an ultra-gentle moisturising treatment once or twice daily to keep the skin barrier strong and hydrated. For deeper hydration, use an intensive moisturiser or soothing mask once or twice a week.

When choosing skincare for sensitive skin, it’s important to look for products that are formulated according to the ecobiology principles with ingredients that respect sensitive skin's ecosystem and preserve its health over time. Some of the best ingredients for sensitive skin include:

 

  • Soothing actives – such as glycyrrhetinic acid, which helps calm redness, discomfort and irritation.

  • Hydrating agents – including glycerin and squalane (a nourishing lipid similar to the skin’s natural oils) to restore moisture and strengthen the skin barrier.

  • Mild cleansing technologies – like micellar water, inspired by the skin’s own lipids, which gently lift away impurities without disrupting the skin’s natural protective film.

     

For sensitive skin, it’s best to avoid harsh surfactants, strong fragrances, or alcohol-based formulas, and instead opt for dermatologically tested products designed with tolerance and comfort in mind.

Everyone’s skin is different, and sensitive skin requires extra care. It’s best to introduce new products gradually and build a consistent routine using skincare specifically formulated for sensitive skin. With the right steps, you can help reduce redness, calm irritation and support the skin’s protective barrier.

 

 

Dermatologist-recommended skincare gives you the confidence that the products you are using have been developed with expert input and tested for safety and effectiveness. Skincare recommended by dermatologists is designed to respect the skin’s natural balance, reduce the risk of irritation and provide targeted solutions for specific skin concerns.

 

Many Bioderma products are prescribed or recommended by dermatologists, offering reassurance that they are backed by medical expertise. Some formulas have been developed in close collaboration with dermatologists who specialise in conditions such as atopic eczema, redness and sensitive skin, ensuring they meet the highest standards of dermatological care.

 

Choosing dermatologist-approved products means you are investing in skincare that is both effective and suitable for your skin’s needs.
