A sensitive skin saviour, SkinCeuticals Redness Neutralizer takes the guesswork out of soothing irritation and redness. With a multi-purpose formula that strengthens the skin’s barrier, reduces redness, and alleviates irritation, all of your bases are covered. It’s definitely a pricier pick, but a great one to keep in your arsenal for the days when your skin is in desperate need of saving.

Champions of providing effective formulas at drugstore prices,  La Roche-Posay’s anti-redness serum combines three soothing active ingredients to target redness and rosacea:sambophenol, neurosensine and thermal spring water. This trio helps to calm, moisturise, soften and smooth skin, offering instant comfort upon application.

Dr Jart’s famous Cicapair range utilises the soothing and skin-strengthening properties of centella, and this lightweight cult-fave serum is no exception.It’s formulated to deliver a reduction in temporary redness, as well as redness caused by pre-existing conditions such as rosacea. 

Add a touch of daily luxury to your sensitive skin care routine with this decadent lightweight water cream formula. Packed full of colloidal oatmeal, Japanese indigo, sophora japonica and the Tatcha Hadasei-3-complex, this hydrating cream soothes redness and irritation, as well as delivering a lasting glow to dull skin.

Calendula has been a go-to for sensitive skin issues for centuries and this handy, lightweight water-cream formula utilises the skin-soothing properties the ingredient is renowned for. It’s an easy pick as it will seamlessly slide into your daily skin care routine without a fuss.

There is nothing more menacing to sensitive skin than a stripping cleanser, so rather than exacerbate any redness with a traditional formula, opt for a soothing micellar option like this offering from Origins. It features a blend of mushrooms to help smooth and soothe skin, rebalancing the barrier for improved function and protection against future cases of irritation.
