Sensitive skin
If your skin reacts easily, how you start matters as much as what you use.
What can play a part
Why it happens
- Strong actives introduced too quickly
- Several new products at once
- Fragrance and other ingredients you already know you react to
This is general skincare information, not a diagnosis. Persistent, severe or painful skin concerns are worth discussing with a clinician.
The AcneologyHQ approach
Where the routine fits
Patch test each product before full use.
Introduce the Purifying Toner gradually, following the frequency on its label. It has no added fragrance.
Keep the Oil-Free Hydrating Gel in the routine every time you use the toner.
If you are very reactive or allergy-prone, review the full ingredient list first. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your clinician before using salicylic acid.
