An Introduction to Sensitive Skin


Sensitive skin is a common skin type and concern which can result in various sensations, such as tingling, prickling, dryness prone to itching, tightness, and burning. You may also experience dryness prone to redness, or oiliness. Sensitivity can be a result of using certain cosmetics; other skin conditions, which can be genetic; clothing materials; UV; climate, and pollution, to name a few causes. The face, including the nose, cheeks, chin and upper-lip, is the most common area to experience skin sensitivity. However, other areas of the body can also be affected, not limited to the scalp, hands, feet, and neck.

Soothing Sensitive Skin


To soothe sensitive, uncomfortable skin and avoid experiencing further sensitivity, it is recommended to steer clear of known triggers, and adopt a simple skincare routine consisting of gentle products specifically formulated for sensitive skin. At La Roche-Posay, we offer a wide range of moisturisers for all types of skin and sensitivity concerns. Discover the perfect moisturiser for your sensitive skin needs below.

Moisturisers for ultra-sensitive skin, which is also allergy prone

Forget that burning, stinging sensation caused by extra-sensitive skin. Endorsed by Allergy UK, our Toleriane Dermallergo Soothing Cream is specifically formulated for ultra-sensitive allergy prone skin. Proven to reduce skin sensitivity day after day, this facial moisturiser instantly relieves irritated, dry skin.


For those with particularly oily skin, Toleriane Dermallergo Soothing Fluid provides the same soothing relief, but with a lighter texture.


Moisturisers for dry, sensitive skin


Dry and very dry skin not only looks flaky and uneven, but it feels tight and uncomfortable. Nutritic Intense Rich Cream, our in-depth nutri-reconstituting cream, restores lost moisture to the epidermis, enveloping the skin in a comforting, soothing formula.


For a lightweight rehydrating moisturiser, try Hydraphase Light. Experience the benefits of our ultra-hydrating formula for normal to combination sensitive skin, infused with La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water known for its natural soothing properties, and enriched with pure Hyaluronic Acid. It reinforces the skin barrier locking in moisture for intense hydration and visibly restored skin radiance.


Moisturisers for sensitive skin, which is also prone to redness


Rosaliac UV moisturiser is a highly-effective cream, designed to effectively diminish the appearance of redness. With the added benefit of SPF15 protection, skin is left comforted and radiant, resulting in a more even complexion.
