Calm, Hydrate, and Protect: Serums for Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin often reacts to environmental stress, weather shifts, or active ingredients in your routine. To keep redness and irritation at bay, it’s essential to choose skincare that soothes, strengthens and hydrates without overloading your complexion.
Gentle, calming serums and targeted treatments form the foundation of a routine that protects the skin barrier and reduces sensitivity while supporting long‑term skin health.
Top Picks for Sensitive or Reactive Skin
Here are some products from Avant that can help calm and support sensitive skin:
1. Splendid Cica Mattifying and Restoring Serum
This serum is specially formulated to calm and soothe irritated skin — a key step in managing sensitivity and redness. Its cica (centella asiatica) component is known for its healing, anti‑inflammatory, and soothing properties, helping to moisturise skin and support skin comfort.
Key When to Use: After cleansing and toning, morning and evening.
2. Anti‑Fatigue Brightening Prebiotics Sensitive Eye Serum
The skin around the eyes is often one of the most delicate and reactive areas. This eye serum is formulated with prebiotics and hyaluronic acid to nourish, hydrate, and calm the delicate eye area — helping reduce the appearance of fine lines, dryness, and puffiness.
Why It’s Great: It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and targets signs of fatigue where irritation and dryness often show first.
Why Choose These Serums for Sensitive Skin?
- Calming & Soothing Properties: Ingredients like cica are widely recognised for anti‑inflammatory and soothing effects, ideal for redness and irritation — common concerns for sensitive skin.
- Hydration Support: Hydration is crucial to keeping sensitive skin calm and resilient — and both products offer moisturising elements like hyaluronic acid.
- Everyday Gentle Use: These serums are designed to be gentle enough for regular use, supporting the skin rather than overwhelming it.
How to Use Serums for Sensitive Skin
- Cleanse gently to remove impurities without stripping your skin.
- Apply serum while skin is slightly damp — this can improve absorption and hydration.
- Follow with a moisturiser to lock in calming and hydrating ingredients.
- Keep your routine simple — sometimes less is more when managing sensitive skin.
Final Tips
Even if your skin isn’t usually sensitive, having a calming serum in your routine is a smart insurance policy for days when irritation flares up — whether that’s from weather, stress, or product tweaks. These serums help reduce redness, support moisture balance, and keep skin feeling comfortable and protected.
