Sensitive Skin Routine
Fewer products, better chosen — for reactive skin.
Sensitive skin responds best not to more products but to fewer, better ones. This routine is intentionally minimal — three to four steps, all fragrance-free, all well-tolerated. It prioritises comfort and barrier health above all else.
Routine purpose
Why this routine.
A sensitive skin routine has one primary objective: stop adding stress to the skin and provide the support it needs to become less reactive over time. The goal is a simplified, fragrance-free routine that is predictable and tolerable every time.
Reduced reactivity
A simplified, consistent gentle routine allows the barrier to rebuild and become progressively less reactive.
More predictable skin
When the routine is simple and consistent, it becomes easier to identify what triggers reactions.
Foundation for future actives
Once skin is stable and comfortable, actives can be introduced one at a time — with much greater tolerance.

Layering guide
How to layer this routine.
Introduce one new product at a time
If something causes a reaction, you need to know which product caused it. Introducing multiple products simultaneously makes attribution impossible.
Patch test everything for 48 hours before facial use
Apply a small amount to the inner arm and monitor for 24–48 hours. If no reaction, apply to a small area of the face and wait another 24 hours before full use.
No actives until skin is stable and comfortable
Retinoids, acids, and Vitamin C can all irritate sensitive skin. Establish a comfortable baseline first — add actives one at a time, starting at very low frequency, only after stability.
Ingredient synergy
Why these ingredients work together.
Each pairing in this routine is intentional. Understanding why helps you get the most from every product.
Lifestyle
Supporting your routine.
- ✓
Review your laundry detergent — fragrance in fabric can transfer to skin via pillowcases and towels.
- ✓
Use a separate clean towel for your face, washed weekly.
- ✓
Avoid very hot water — it dissolves barrier lipids and can trigger flushing in reactive skin.
- ✓
Keep a simple log of reactions: product, date, skin state. Patterns often emerge.
