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 and toners with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and niacinamide help calm redness and soothe stinging, while serums and moisturizers with centella asiatica extract and ceramides support the skin against 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 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 target redness, stinging, and reactions to new products.
