How to find the best products for your sensitive skin, and building a routine around them

by Senne Skin

Sensitive skin deserves a routine that’s simple, soothing, and seriously effective.

Building a skincare routine for sensitive skin can be tricky. It’s all about finding the right balance, products that are gentle and soothing enough to calm and hydrate, but still effective enough to deliver the results you desire, without triggering irritation.

What not to put on fussy skin


Harsh irritants, unnecessary fillers, and anything that messes with your skin’s balance. When you have fussy skin, every ingredient counts. That’s why it’s best to avoid harsh irritants and unnecessary fillers that mess with your skin's barrier. These common triggers can disrupt your skin’s natural barrier, leading to redness, dryness, stinging, or flare-ups.

Unnecessary fillers and complex ingredient lists can also overload already reactive skin. Sensitive skin thrives on simplicity, so the less fuss, the better. Instead of overcomplicating things, look for clean, calming formulas that leave out what’s not needed and focus on what truly works.

What sensitive skin actually wants

When it comes to sensitive skin, the right ingredients make all the difference. Look for science-backed actives that are carefully balanced to deliver visible results without stressing out your skin. You also want barrier-supporting ingredients, because happy, healthy skin starts with a strong foundation. And of course, don’t skip the soothing hydrators—they work to calm and replenish, leaving you with that smooth, dewy glow.
