Questions
What other skin care products do the NEUROCOSMEDICS range offer?
+Our NEUROCOSMEDICS range offers gentle cleansers, exfoliators, corrective booster serums, moisturising hydrators and balms, eye care and rejuvenating face masks that are designed to address every skin type and concern.
Our GINGER&ME skin, body and mind collection also include luxurious and results-driven body care products, as well as a decadent gifting range perfect for all occasions.
Can I use a face mask if I have sensitive skin?
+Yes, but choose calming and hydrating sheet masks that are perfect for sensitive skin care, such as our B3 Glow Sheet Masks which contains Niacinamide and Sodium Hyaluronate. Avoid clay masks, peel-off masks, or anything with strong acids or essential oils.
Can I use exfoliants if I have sensitive skin?
+Yes, but opt for mild chemical exfoliants like Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs) formulated in our Exfoliating Powder Cleanser rather than physical scrubs. Use them sparingly, no more than once a week, and always follow with hydrating skin care products for sensitive skin to avoid over-exfoliation.
How should I cleanse my sensitive skin?
+To cleanse sensitive skin gently and effectively, follow these steps:
- Choose a mild, gentle cleanser – Look for cleansers that are suitable for sensitive skin care, such as our Nutri-Luxe Cleansing Oil. Avoid formulas with sulphates or alcohol.
- Use lukewarm water – Hot water can strip the skin's natural oils and increase irritation. Lukewarm water is gentler and better for maintaining the skin’s moisture barrier.
- Apply with clean hands – Skip washcloths or facial brushes, which can be too abrasive. Use your fingertips to massage the cleanser in circular motions.
- Rinse thoroughly but gently – Make sure all product is removed, as residue can lead to irritation. Pat your face dry with a soft, clean towel and don’t rub.
- Follow with skin care products for sensitive skin – After cleansing, immediately apply skin care products for sensitive skin like a hydrating serum or moisturiser to lock in moisture and support the skin barrier.
Cleansing once in the evening (and just rinsing with water in the morning) is often enough for sensitive skin care, helping you avoid over-cleansing and irritation.

What ingredients should I avoid in skin care products for sensitive skin?
+Skin care products for sensitive skin should avoid high levels of artificial fragrances, strong acids and prescription forms of vitamin A. These can cause irritation, redness, and dryness. Instead, choose skin care for sensitive skin with specific ingredients that target inflammation, redness, hydration and barrier repair.
What is the best sensitive skin care routine?
+When selecting skin care for sensitive skin, look for ingredients like Sodium Hyaluronate, Symglucan (derived from Oats), and Niacinamide. Commonly found in many skin care products for sensitive skin, these ingredients are calming and effective for reducing irritation. Avoid products with sulphates, alcohol, and strong acids.
What causes sensitive skin, and how can using skin care for sensitive skin help?
+Sensitive skin can be caused by genetic and is easily exacerbated by environmental factors, allergies, or a compromised skin barrier. Using specifically formulated skin care for sensitive skin helps reduce inflammation, strengthen the skin barrier, and prevent flare-ups by avoiding harsh chemicals and adding soothing ingredients.
How do I know if I have sensitive skin?
You may have sensitive skin if you frequently experience:
- Redness or blotchiness after using certain products
- Stinging, burning, or itching when applying skin care or makeup
- Dry patches or peeling skin, even after moisturising
- Tightness after cleansing, especially with foaming or scented products
- Breakouts or irritation from new or highly fragranced skin care
If your skin reacts easily or unpredictably, especially to common ingredients, you likely have sensitive skin. It’s best to choose skin care products for sensitive skin that are gentle while working to calm and soothe the skin. Consulting with a Skin Expert can also help confirm your skin type and recommend appropriate skin care for sensitive skin.
What is sensitive skin?
+Sensitive skin is a skin type that reacts more easily to external factors like skincare products, weather changes, or certain fabrics. It often feels itchy, tight, or uncomfortable and may show visible signs like redness, dryness, flaking, or stinging. People with sensitive skin typically have a weakened skin barrier, which makes it more prone to irritation and inflammation. Using gentle, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic sensitive skin care can help calm the skin, reduce reactivity, and strengthen the skin's natural defences.
