Sensitive skin is an increasingly common condition and today it no longer affects only those who are born with delicate or intolerant skin. Stress, pollution, UV rays, climate changes, aesthetic treatments and aesthetic medicine procedures can compromise the skin barrier function, making the skin more fragile, reactive and vulnerable to external factors.
Skin sensitivity can take different forms. It may be constitutional and present from birth, or develop over time in response to lifestyle and environmental factors. It may also be temporary, occurring when the skin is weakened by aesthetic treatments or aesthetic medicine procedures. During certain medical treatments, such as cancer therapies, the skin may also become more fragile and require high-tolerance cosmetic products, to be used in accordance with medical advice.
Today, caring for sensitive and fragile skin means going beyond a simple soothing effect. Advanced cosmetics take a comprehensive approach to the skin, helping to support its natural defence mechanisms, restore the skin barrier function, preserve the skin microbiota, soothe the skin and reduce reactivity, including stress-related reactivity.
An approach that puts science at the service of skin comfort, helping the skin regain hydration, protection and resilience and respond more effectively to everyday external aggressors.
