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.
An innovative approach with a dual goal
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.
Sisley’s routine for resetting sensitive skin
Pauline Poussin, Head of Scientific Communication at Sisley, explains why you should stop using all other cosmetic products for four weeks to reset sensitive skin.
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.

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
Immediately soothe
Hyperreactive skin nerve fibres
Faced with normally inoffensive stimuli, nerve fibres overreact. The brain receives the message it is being attacked, which translated into feelings of discomfort.
At the same time, skin nerve fibres release the messengers that kickstart a cascade of reactions at different levels within the layers of the skin. This is the neurogenic vicious circle
Sisley’s response to free the skin from feelings of discomfort
Soothing Care for Sensitive Skin limits skin’s hyperreactivity to daily stimuli. Sensitive skin is instantly soothed, free from any feelings of discomfort.
Reduces redness
The cascade of reactions
At the epidermis level, the skin’s barrier is weakened, lowering skin’s tolerance threshold. It is even more exposed to 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. This is 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.
Restores comfort
The weakening of the barrier function
Lipids nourish and maintain skin’s hydration. They form a protective barrier for skin.
Sensitive skin can present a double lipid deficiency: qualitative and quantitative. 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 moisturizing and nourishing action of Soothing Care for Sensitive Skin. The skin regains comfort and well-being. Reactions caused by daily stimuli are lessened.
