Having sensitive skin often means that skin’s barrier function is damaged. In order to care for sensitive skin, skincare products used need to be restorative, soothing and nourishing at the same time.
Here are the best skincare products formulated for sensitive skin, and nurse them back into health.
Known for its absorbing powers, the B.glen Clay Wash, $57 (150 g), is a natural clay-based cleanser that draws out excess oil and toxins without being harsh on your skin.
Designed for Asian skin that’s prone to sensitivity, the Curel Whitening Lotion II, $32.80 (140 ml), is made with brightening ingredients to brighten dull skin and combat dark spots.
For those struggling with hypersensitive skin, reach for the Eau Thermale Avene Skin Recovery Cream, $40.70 (50 ml), to help calm irritation while giving your skin a moisture boost.
A cult-classic, the best-selling Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream, $52 (50 ml), has been reformulated to be twice as moisturising as its predecessor – sealing in round-theclock hydration for up to 24 hours.
Filled with a medley of skin-loving ingredients, the Etude House Soon Jung Hydro Barrier Cream, $29 (75 ml), brings new life to stressed skin by shielding it from dryness.
