Skincare Advice for Sensitive Skin: Simple Tips for a Calmer
Jonas Weber · October 2, 2025 · 5 min read
Learn how to care for sensitive skin with gentle routines and dermatologist-recommended products.
Less is more
Sensitive skin reacts to overload. A gentle cleanser, one barrier-supporting moisturiser and a daily sunscreen is a complete routine. Add new products one at a time, two weeks apart, so you always know the trigger.

These three ingredients rebuild and protect the moisture barrier without fragrance or harsh actives. Our DermaGlow range is built around exactly this trio — rich enough to calm, light enough for daily wear.
Patch-test everything
Apply a pea-sized amount behind the ear or on the inner forearm for 48 hours before full-face use. It takes a minute and saves weeks of redness.
Lukewarm water, soft towels
Hot water strips natural oils and aggravates reactivity. Wash lukewarm, pat — never rub — dry, and moisturise within a minute while skin is still slightly damp.
When to see a professional
Persistent burning, swelling or rashes that spread deserve a dermatologist, not another product. Our pharmacists can help you decide whether it is sensitivity or something that needs a prescription.
The takeaway
Calm skin comes from a short routine, barrier-first ingredients and patient patch-testing — not from more products.
