Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin can be triggered by a weakened skin barrier, environmental stressors, harsh products, allergies, or genetics. These factors make skin more reactive to common skincare ingredients or changes in temperature and humidity.

Common signs include frequent redness, burning, stinging, itching, or dryness after applying products. If your skin often feels uncomfortable or reacts easily, you may benefit from switching to dedicated skin care for sensitive skin.

Avoid potential irritants such as alcohol, synthetic fragrances, sulfates, and certain essential oils. Instead, look for calming ingredients like chamomile, centella asiatica, or niacinamide, found in many sensitive skin care solutions from Medik8.

Choose fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and dermatologist-tested skincare for sensitive skin that prioritizes hydration and barrier repair. Medik8’s gentle formulas are designed to soothe and nourish without triggering irritation.

Stick to a simple routine using sensitive skin care products with calming ingredients like oat extract or aloe vera. Avoid over-exfoliating and protect your skin with daily SPF to reduce inflammation and redness over time.

Yes, with caution. Medik8’s gentle formulations, such as Crystal Retinal strengths 1 and 3, were created for sensitive skin users or beginners to Vitamin A. Start slowly and buffer with a moisturizer to minimize the risk of irritation.

*Disclaimer: Always consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional before introducing active ingredients into your routine, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin.

Moisturize twice daily: once in the morning and again at night. A consistent skincare routine for sensitive skin helps lock in moisture, reinforce the skin barrier, and prevent flare-ups caused by dryness or external stressors.
