Sensitive Skin – “Skin in a weakened or sensitive state” requires particularly careful and gentle pampering, starting from the cleansing step. Every day, our skin is exposed to numerous external pollutants such as PM 2.5 dust, exhaust fumes, sunlight, makeup, or even dirt from our own hands. Sometimes, cleansing with just a facial foam or clean water isn’t enough. Moreover, choosing the right product is crucial; using products that are too acidic or basic can indirectly damage the skin. Therefore, caring for and cleansing sensitive skin must begin with understanding and analyzing your own skin condition before making a choice.

As we well know, sensitive skin is skin that tends to become irritated more easily than usual. This is caused by a weak skin barrier and cell structure, making the skin hypersensitive to external triggers, leading to recurring allergies and irritation. Proper cleansing is therefore a vital step to help reset your skin, leaving it clean and free from the irritating residues accumulated throughout the day. It restores the skin cycle disrupted by irritation, bringing it back to health and preparing it for further care without being harmed by chemicals in cleansing products.

Therefore, choosing a cleansing product suitable for sensitive skin must be meticulous and thorough, ensuring there are no triggers that cause skin irritation. This is because the cleansing product is the very first step that comes into contact with your skin.

Advice #1: The product you choose must be a hypoallergenic formula specifically designed for sensitive skin (ideally guaranteed by a team of dermatologists).

Advice #2: Check the ingredients to ensure the product you choose is gentle. It must be free from substances that cause skin irritation, such as fragrances, alcohol, parabens, etc.

Advice #3: Ensure that the chosen cleanser does not leave the skin feeling tight or dehydrated after washing. The cleanser should have a pH level that is not too alkaline. It is even better if it has properties to replenish and maintain moisture in the skin layers, as a common problem accompanying a delicate skin barrier is easy water loss.

Advice #4: Opt for non-ionic surfactant facial cleansers. These are highly effective at cleaning yet are the gentlest on the skin, preventing the accumulation of chemicals and dirt that could lead to further irritation.

Advice #5: It’s not just the cleanser that matters; you should also prioritize makeup remover if you wear makeup regularly. You should perform a “Double Cleansing” on days you wear makeup by using a makeup remover followed by a gentle soap or facial foam suited to your skin type. This ensures effective cleansing, leaving no dirt, excess oil, or makeup residue on the skin that could cause subsequent irritation.

1. For those who wear makeup frequently, Acseine Advice recommends an oil-based cleansing product containing gentle non-ionic surfactants. Oil can effectively remove long-lasting and waterproof makeup, such as Acseine Mild Wash Cleansing.

2. For those with clogged pore issues, Acseine Advice recommends a gel or milk-type cleansing product, such as Acseine Milky Cleanse Up. This meets the needs of those with rough, acne-prone skin, as it helps remove impurities and dead skin cells, softening the top layer of the skin and reducing dullness and clogged pores.

3. For those with very sensitive skin, Acseine Advice recommends an oil-based cleansing product that also provides moisture. Look for a formula guaranteed by a Hypoallergenic Test that is free from parabens and surfactants, such as Acseine Cleansing Oil, which is 100% oil and thus eliminates oxidation issues.

This is why ACSEINE prioritizes skin cleansing that goes beyond just washing. ACSEINE products focus on gentle pampering and restoring the skin to be strong and hydrated without leaving behind impurities that clog pores or irritate the skin. This is managed by the Allergen Control System, which helps identify and eliminate as many skin-irritating substances as possible from the products.
