Does your skin redden easily, feel tight, or react to certain products? It’s likely sensitive. This skin type requires special daily attention to soothe, protect, and comfort it.

Discover how to identify sensitive skin and, most importantly, how to care for it effectively.

What is sensitive skin?

Sensitive skin isn’t a specific skin type but rather a condition that can affect all skin types—dry, oily, combination, or normal. It manifests as sensations of discomfort such as tightness, tingling, warmth, or temporary or persistent redness.

These reactions are often caused by an overreactive skin barrier that struggles to defend against external aggressors or certain cosmetic ingredients.

Sensitivity can be temporary—triggered by factors like winter, stress, or dermatological treatments—or chronic.

In all cases, it’s essential to use skincare that is gentle, soothing, and protective. Not sure which products to choose or how to care for your skin? Follow the guide.

How to care for sensitive skin ?

The absolute priority for sensitive skin is to strengthen the skin barrier and soothe inflammatory reactions. This requires an adapted routine composed of high-tolerance formulas—free from harsh fragrances and alcohol, and tested on sensitive skin.

Gentle cleansing

Harsh cleansing can further weaken sensitive skin. Choose the Lait Micellaire Démaquillant, to be used with a very soft cleansing cloth, to remove impurities without disturbing the skin’s natural balance.

Soothing and hydrating

Sensitive skin needs to calm inflammation and maintain good hydration levels. The N°2 range is specially formulated to meet these needs: its light yet comforting texture provides immediate relief without weighing down the skin. Enriched with cotton flower extract and probiotics, these products help the skin better resist external aggressors while reducing redness.

Bonus: The Crème Cachemire from the N°2 range is a must-have for sensitive skin. It acts like a soothing bandage, instantly calming heat sensations and strengthening skin tolerance day after day.

Protection against aggressors

Cold, wind, UV rays, pollution, and hormonal changes can all trigger irritations. Incorporating suitable sun protection and barrier-strengthening products helps prevent these imbalances.

To enhance sensitive skin while respecting its nature, opt for a minimalist routine:


with a micellar milk or a mild cleanser.


using an appropriate cream like Crème N°2 Cachemire.


with an anti-stress serum.


against environmental aggressors.

Although sensitive skin may seem fragile at times, it can regain balance, comfort, and radiance with a targeted, respectful routine. Avoid overloading it with products; instead, choose expert formulas that are dermatologically tested and specially designed to respect its tolerance threshold.
