RoC-focused skincare routine for sensitive skin
A routine for sensitive skin built around RoC products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.
Cleansers and toners with glycerin, aloe vera, and centella asiatica help calm redness and stinging. Serums and moisturizers with ceramides, squalane, and niacinamide strengthen the skin to prevent reactions to new products.
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 it rests away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week to add deeper steps that address stubborn redness and reactions.
