A gentle, science-backed regimen to calm, protect, and support your skin’s natural barrier.
If your skin often reacts with redness, stinging, or irritation, whether to skincare products, weather, or even water, you likely have sensitive skin. At Emogene & Co., we know that sensitive skin needs extra care and thoughtful product selection. Our routine is designed to minimize irritation, strengthen your skin’s defenses, and keep your complexion comfortable and healthy.
Sensitive Skin: What’s Happening?
Sensitive skin is more reactive than other skin types, meaning it’s easily triggered by environmental factors, fragrances, harsh ingredients, or even stress. Sensitive skin often has a thinner, more reactive barrier with a compromised lipid structure, making it less effective at protecting against irritants and moisture loss.
Symptoms can include redness, itching, burning, or dryness.
Common triggers for sensitive skin include:
-
Fragrances and dyes
-
Harsh cleansers or exfoliants
-
Extreme temperatures or wind
-
Overuse of active ingredients (like retinoids or acids)
-
Stress or hormonal imbalance
The key to managing sensitive skin is to avoid triggers, use gentle, fragrance-free products, and focus on barrier repair and hydration.
The Emogene & Co. 8-Step Sensitive Skin Regimen
Our soothing, minimalist routine is designed to calm irritation, reinforce your skin’s barrier, and provide lasting comfort.
Step 1: The Healer All Purpose Balm
Start with this gentle balm to melt away makeup and impurities. Double cleansing with this balm ensures thorough cleansing without stripping your sensitive skin.
Step 2: Ritual Foaming Milk Cleanser
A gentle, creamy cleanser that removes impurities without stripping moisture, perfect for sensitive skin prone to dryness or irritation. Antioxidant-rich botanicals calm and nourish while supporting your natural barrier.
Step 3: Renew Facial Toner
This soothing, alcohol-free toner softens and refines pores while gently removing debris and pollution. It refreshes sensitive skin and preps it for the rest of your routine, minimizing irritation.
Step 4: Glow Vitamin C Serum
A potent yet gentle vitamin C serum that brightens and protects sensitive skin, helping to boost collagen without harshness or stinging.
If Vitamin C is too irritating, swap for our Prime Niacinamide Facial Serum to calm and smooth your skin.
Step 5: Refine Eye Serum
A gentle, hydrating serum designed for sensitive skin to soothe, firm, and nourish the delicate eye area. Refine helps minimize fine lines and puffiness without irritation, making it ideal for daily use, even for easily reactive skin.
Step 6: Hydrate Moisture Accelerator
A lightweight, barrier-supportive serum that deeply hydrates and plumps sensitive skin, leaving your complexion soft, supple, and calm.
Step 7: Revitalize Facial Oil
A lightweight, non-comedogenic, nutrient-rich oil ideal for sensitive skin. It locks in moisture, calms inflammation, and helps restore comfort while reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Step 8: CocoVanil Lip Conditioner
Finish with this ultra-hydrating, fragrance-free balm to keep lips soft and protected.
