Sensitive skin

Sensitive skin is reactive to certain ingredients that will cause inflammation, irritation and redness.

Many people struggle with sensitive skin but it’s not a medical diagnosis in itself. If your skin is more prone to irritation, causing redness, bumps or burning of the skin that means you have sensitive skin. Sensitive skin might not react well to chemical ingredients and will likely need milder skincare products.

If you have sensitive skin, opt for gentle Obagi products that help to soothe the skin. If you’re using a highly effective ingredient such as Vitamin C on your sensitive skin, make sure it’s in a lower concentration.
