When the skin shows more or less pronounced redness, it becomes difficult to find the right skincare routine. Although the causes of redness are varied, they mainly affect sensitive and hypersensitive skin, and are linked to the dilation of small blood vessels under the skin, giving certain areas a flushed appearance.

This dilation can occur suddenly, due to a sudden change in temperature or a strong emotion, or become more persistent, with skin that appears constantly overheated. Our experts have gathered their best advice to help you care for your redness and reduce it over time.

What active ingredients help treat redness ?

When the skin is sensitive, it’s important to take care of its microbiome—the microorganisms that live on the skin. If the microbiome becomes unbalanced, the skin becomes more fragile and vulnerable to external aggressors.

This can happen if you use unsuitable products with actives that are too harsh for your skin, or if your routine includes astringent cleansers that may disrupt the skin’s hydrolipidic film. Other factors, both external and genetic—such as cold weather or stress-related skin reactions—can also play a role.

What skincare routine for reactive skin ?

Start by using a gentle cleanser such as our Gentle Cleansing Foam with Organic Orange Blossom floral water, known for its soothing properties.

Once the serum is applied, choose the soothing moisturizer that best meets your skin’s needs. We recommend the Crème Nuage Apaisante if your skin is normal to combination, and the Crème Cachemire Apaisante if your skin is dry or feels uncomfortable.
