What ingredients should be avoided with sensitive skin?
When it comes to skincare, the motto "more is more" has long been outdated. Creams with too many ingredients often work less effectively in combination than essences that nourish your skin with a few, but specially selected active ingredients.
Excessive alcohols, perfumes, or fragrances can irritate the skin and cause redness, dryness, or itching. If you have sensitive facial skin, you should avoid such substances.
Fragrances
The often inferior and excessive synthetic fragrances are used to mask other odors. Some of these substances trigger allergies, which is why people with sensitive and irritated skin should avoid such skincare products.
Alcohol (irritant)
Alcohols serve as a preservative and ensure quicker absorption. Creams therefore feel less greasy at first, but inferior alcohols are often used, which dry out the skin and damage the skin barrier. This can cause additional skin irritation and rosacea effects.
aggressive active substances
Aggressive ingredients are substances that irritate the skin. These include the previously mentioned alcohols and fragrances, but also various preservatives, chemical components, and UV filters. You should definitely avoid these.
Some active ingredients can even cause hormonal disruptions.
What is sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin, also known as delicate skin, is a skin type where the skin and facial skin react particularly strongly to external and internal influences. If you have sensitive skin, you are familiar with typical symptoms such as redness, tightness, itching, or a burning sensation after applying your products. These reactions often occur because the natural skin barrier is weakened, making the skin more susceptible to irritants. A healthy skin barrier protects you from environmental influences such as UV radiation and dirt in everyday life, stores moisture, and prevents the penetration of harmful substances. However, if this protective function is disturbed, the skin reacts more quickly and intensely.
The following are considered signs of this skin type:
- Redness
- Tightness
- Dryness
- Burning or itching
- Quick reaction after using certain products
A perfectly selected facial care for sensitive skin is crucial to soothe it and strengthen its protective function in the long term.
The motto here is: less is more. Instead of using many different products, care should be reduced to a few, well-tolerated and effective products. A gentle cleansing, such as with our 2-Phase Micellar Cleanser, forms the basis, as it removes dirt and excess sebum without additionally irritating the skin. Afterwards, a soothing care, adapted to your skin, should be applied.
Skincare that moisturizes and supports the skin barrier is suitable here. Skéina offers exactly such care products for your daily facial care and cleansing routine. With our Anti-Redness Essence, you can care for your skin and reduce facial redness. For impurities, our Anti-Blemish Essence offers the perfect solution.
Do you want both effects combined without irritating your skin? Our optimally coordinated Anti-Aging Essence offers this.

FAQ - Facial Care
The most frequent questions our customers asked about facial care:
1. Which facial care is suitable for sensitive and delicate skin?
Mild, non-irritating products with minimal but perfectly selected ingredients. Skéina products meet precisely these requirements to perfectly care for and protect sensitive skin.
2. Why is my skin so sensitive?
Your skin is a complex organ that has an important protective function. If the skin barrier is damaged, it can no longer fully perform this function. The consequence is an intense reaction to various irritants and environmental influences.
3. How many products should I use?
Usually, 2–4 products are sufficient for an effective skincare routine. Our 2-phase micellar water for optimal and low-irritant cleansing, and our essences for optimal care and building a strong skin barrier.
4. What ingredients should I avoid?
Skincare products with an excessively high number of ingredients and irritating substances such as alcohols and fragrances should be avoided for sensitive skin. These aggressive active ingredients can often cause allergic reactions and damage the skin barrier in the long term.
5. Can sensitive skin improve?
Yes, with proper care, sensitive skin can become more resilient. Incorporate the right routine into your daily life and help your skin build a healthy skin barrier for complete protective function.
6. How often should you apply facial care products?
For optimal results, the facial care routine should be performed daily – morning and evening. Only then can irritation from daily environmental influences be minimized.
7. Is less skincare better?
Yes, especially with sensitive skin, less care can be more. Make space in your cabinet and throw out unnecessary and irritating skincare products. Skéina offers you perfect cleansing and care with just a few products.
8. What helps with redness?
Our Anti-Redness Essence can help against facial redness caused by environmental factors or incorrect skincare products. This dermatologically tested essence visibly reduces redness and vascular reactions in a short time.
9. Can stress affect my skin?
Yes, stress can often exacerbate skin reactions. But so can unhealthy diets and a lack of minerals and vitamins. Allow your skin the proper recovery from stressful everyday life and the many different influences.
10. Where can I find suitable products?
With specialized brands like Skéina, you'll find skincare with a high biological composition and a highly functional formulation developed over years, free from unnecessary and irritating substances.
