Sensitive & Reactive Skin
Reactive, delicate skin ke liye.
When skin is reactive, start with the barrier only: water rinse + Hydrating Moisturiser (ceramides). Skip glycolic cleansers, 10% niacinamide, and retinol until skin is calm — then add one product at a time.
Three common causes.
Over-cleansing, hot water, and too many actives thin the barrier.
Stripping formulas are common triggers. Keep your routine low-lather, simple, and barrier-first.
More products ≠ better skin. Fewer, gentler steps outperform.

Products that fit this routine.
A few gentle rules.
- Apply a small amount to a discreet area of the jawline once daily for 2–3 days. Stop if persistent redness, itching or irritation occurs.
- Introduce one product at a time — never two together.
- If skin is currently irritated, pause actives and stick to water rinse + moisturiser.
- Brightening Face Wash (glycolic) and Hydra Glow Serum (10% niacinamide) can wait until the barrier is calm.
