Sensitive skin typically presents as persistent redness, stinging, burning or tightness in response to skincare products, temperature changes or environmental factors.

Starting with a lower-strength Retinol formula such as Regular Dream Team® Retinol 0.625 once or twice a week, and pairing it with a barrier-supportive moisturiser, allows sensitive skin to acclimatise over time. For those who find Retinol too reactive, Bakuchiol offers a gentler plant-derived alternative with comparable renewing benefits.
