Decoding Perioral Sensitivity, Sensitive Skin and Redness
What it is: Perioral sensitivity refers to inflammation and discomfort around the mouth, often triggered by barrier disruption. Sensitive skin and redness can result from genetics, external aggressors, or compromised skin function. These concerns often coexist, reflecting underlying barrier impairment.
How to recognise: Look for redness, dryness, flaking or stinging around the mouth, cheeks or nose, particularly after cleansing or exposure to environmental triggers. Skin may feel tight or reactive to even gentle products. These signs indicate a weakened skin barrier needing repair.
Which actives are needed: Soothing and restorative ingredients like ceramides and lipids. Peptides and niacinamide can also help restore barrier integrity. Anti-inflammatories like bisabolol and zinc can help reduce redness and calm irritation. Hydrators replenish moisture and support skin resilience.
Where To Start
To visibly target perioral sensitivity, we recommend these two formulations as a priority.
