SENSITIVE SKIN CARE

Retinol (vitamin A) is a potent skincare ingredient used in anti-ageing routines to even skin tone and texture and target mild-acne prone concerns. The La Roche-Posay range of retinol products is suitable for all skin types including sensitive. As with any efficacious skincare ingredient, retinol should be introduced gradually and always monitor skin throughout use. If you’re unsure, seek the advice of a healthcare professional.

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) used in skincare to address mild acne-prone concerns like blemishes, whiteheads and blackheads. This chemical exfoliant breaks up dead skin cells to unclog pores, reducing the appearance of imperfections. La Roche Posay salicylic acid products are formulated to be hypoallergenic, but it’s recommended to seek the advice of your dermatologist before trialling it.

Sensitive skin requires protection against external stressors such as pollution and UV rays. As dryness is a typical feature of the skin type, moisture reimplementation is a supportive and way to improve the look and feel of skin. Our sensitive skin care products provide anti-ageing and hydrating benefits and help to improve concerns such as redness in skin and tender sensations.

Exfoliation is an important step in weekly skincare routines. Exfoliants work to clear dead skin cells and impurities from skin, aiding the skin cell cycle and promoting brightened and softer complexions. For sensitive skin types, it’s recommended to exfoliate gradually (around 1–2 times per week) and monitor skin throughout use.
