Soothing Care for Sensitive Skin

Freedom for sensitive skin at last

Scroll down

An innovative approach with a dual goal

DURING A FLARE-UP

Soothe sensitive skin

More than just a highly soothing treatment, it acts on the three causes of sensitivity and increases sensitive skin’s tolerance threshold, freeing it from daily discomfort.

IN THE LONG TERM

It enables the use of other innovative products

Once sensitivity has been soothed, sensitive skin can access a routine that’s more about pleasure, and target a wider range of skin issues linked to anti-ageing and radiance.

Unlock the key to less sensitive skin

Skin is described as ‘sensitive’ when it reacts to certain stimuli to which ‘normal’ skin should not react.

A very high tolerance formula


Soothing Care for Sensitive Skin is made up of 100% multi-functional active ingredients of natural origin. The minimalist formula contains just the ingredients needed for sensitive skin’s low tolerance levels


A sterilised, ultra airtight bottle protects the formula from the air to ensure it is well preserved, without needing additives.

Unique sensory qualities

Deliciously soft, Soothing Care for Sensitive Skin creates a comforting protective film over the skin. It is naturally perfumed by the Plum kernel within and is free from essential oils and fragrance.

What factors cause sensitivity?

Sensitivity can have a variety of causes: chemical (hard water, pollution), physical (temperature changes, wind, sun), emotional (stress, anxiety), and lifestyle (diet, smoking). It depends on the individual.

Signs of sensitive skin include stinging, tightness, itching and hot or burning sensations. Sometimes there is also redness. The symptoms of sensitive skin are mostly felt, they are not always visible.

Proven effectiveness on the three causes of sensitive skin

Sisley’s response to free the skin from feelings of discomfort

Immediately soothe

Hyper-reactive skin nerve fibres

When in contact with normally innoscuous stimuli, nerve fibres overreact. The brain receives the message it is being attacked, which is translated into feelings of discomfort.


At the same time, skin nerve fibres release the triggers that kickstart a cascade of reactions at different levels within the layers of the skin. Known as the neurogenic vicious circle


Sisley’s response to free the skin from feelings of discomfort

Soothing Care for Sensitive Skin limits skin’s hyper-reactivity to daily stimuli. Sensitive skin is instantly soothed, free from any feelings of discomfort.

Sisley’s response for reducing redness

Reduces redness

The cascade of reactions

At the epidermis level, the skin’s barrier is weakened, lowering the skin’s tolerance threshold. It is even exposed to more aggressions and another cascade of reactions begins.


At dermis level, the capillaries are weakened, which causes blood pigments to leak, hence the appearance of redness.


At the same time, the immune cells that make up skin’s defence system migrate towards the epidermis causing the over-inflammation of the keratinocytes. Known as the vascular vicious circle.


Sisley’s response for reducing redness

Soothing Care for Sensitive Skin acts on these vicious circles. Defences are strengthened, skin is more resistant and less sensitive to external aggressors. Redness is visibly reduced.

Sisley’s response for restoring skin’s comfort and well-being

Restores comfort

The weakening of the barrier function

Lipids nourish and help to maintain skin’s hydration. They form a protective barrier for skin.


Sensitive skin can present a double lipid deficiency in both qualitative and quantitative aspects. Already impaired, the skin barrier becomes more and more permeable. Irritants enter the skin more easily.


Skin’s tolerance threshold lowers; it becomes more sensitive.


Sisley’s response for restoring skin’s comfort and well-being

The skin barrier is strengthened by the moisturising and nourishing action of Soothing Care for Sensitive Skin. The skin regains comfort and well-being. Reactions caused by daily stimuli are reduced.

A two-stage approach

1- DURING A FLARE-UP

Soothe immediately and increase skin’s tolerance threshold

Adopt a minimalist routine with Triple Oil Balm Make-Up Remover and Cleanser, followed by Soothing Care for Sensitive Skin.

2- ONCE SENSITIVITY HAS BEEN SOOTHED

Target other beauty concerns

Use Soothing Care for Sensitive Skin as a primer for any skincare or makeup routine that meets your needs and beauty concerns.
