La Roche-Posay-focused skincare routine for sensitive skin
A routine for sensitive skin built around La Roche-Posay products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.
Cleansers, toners, and moisturizers with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, centella asiatica extract, and zinc oxide help soothe irritation and calm redness. Serums and moisturizers with niacinamide, ceramides, snail secretion filtrate, and allantoin strengthen the skin barrier to prevent reactions and stinging.
The morning routine prepares the skin for the day: it cleans off the night, hydrates, and protects, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while the skin rests and is away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds the deeper steps to help care for sensitive skin.
