Sorry, looks like we don't have enough of this product.
Shocker: you don’t need to have ‘sensitive skin’ to experience symptoms of sensitivity. We all, (yes, all) have the capacity for temporarily sensitive skin, whether that’s as pinpointable as a sunburn - shame on you non-SPF-wearers - or from trying out a new product that didn’t agree, or was too harsh, for our skin type - looking at you, avid exfoliators.
The good news is - you’re in the right place. 20 years ago we formulated Evercalm™, a comprehensive skincare range to target symptoms of skin sensitivity, while providing sustained relief for reactive skin. Let’s first explore what sensitive skin looks and feels like, and then match you to the products that can help.
Let’s keep it simple. If any of the below sound like your skin - you’re probably leaning toward sensitive.
Redness - all over.
You’re easily flushed or generally have a bit of a ‘ruddy’ complexion. Redness flare-ups can happen from heat, alcohol, friction with PPE or rosacea to name a few.
Itchiness
Find yourself scratching, with no bites or rashes? This is often a sign of continued irritation or lack of moisture.
Tightness
Due to a lack of moisture, skin feels uncomfortable or you notice dry fine lines. Does your skin look crepey?
Beauty products sting.
When you apply (anything, not just AHAs) they tend to sting. This can be down to the brands formula (a high fragrance/preservative inclusion) or down to your skin.
Did any of the above trigger an aha! moment? Then chances are you’ve got sensitive skin. Luckily, you're in the right place... Our best cream for sensitive skin, Global Protection Day Cream will be your go-to moisturizer with 97% saying skin immediately feels calmer during our user study. We combat tightness and itchiness through upping moisture levels with skin-nourishing oils, while our soothing ingredients actually train skin to be less reactive over time. Antioxidants also help protect skin against pollution which could cause a flare-up. The result? An instantly more comfortable and ever-calmer complexion.
The sensitive skin routine.
Adopting a full calming skincare routine will further help your assault on sensitivity. Cleansers which contain sulphates or aren’t pH balanced could be washing away the very moisture that keeps your skin comfortable. Our best cleansers for sensitive skin include Gentle Cleansing Gel and Gentle Cleansing Milk which melt makeup and wash away daily impurities, while keeping skin moisturized and comfortable.
Irritated skin is the tricky one - usually it’s down to external factors or - to an extent - our own actions.
AHA Overuse
Yes, we all want that glow, but using harsh, unbalanced AHAs can lead to stinging and localized redness - especially on tender areas like the upper cheek/eye contour.
Sunburn
A no-brainer for all skin types - but sun-damaged skin can sting, itch and burn and even though this may be temporary, your skincare routine can help or hinder recovery.
Temperature Changes
Summer heat and winter wind can shock your skin temporarily until it adjusts to the new climate.
Chemicals/Synthetic Fragrance
Sometimes your skin doesn’t agree with certain chemicals - a good example being Oxybenzone, Octinoxate or Octocrylene in chemical sunscreens.
Lifestyle Factors
Smoking, excess alcohol, excess stress - they can all cause skin to ‘act up’ and whether the morning after or as part of a routine, you can take steps to promote skin recovery.
