Skin that reacts to almost everything.

Reactive skin does not need stronger treatment — it needs less, done properly. Everything is gentled down, and the aim is a barrier that can hold water again.

A compromised barrier lets water out and irritants in. Once that starts, everything you apply feels like an attack — including things that would normally help.

The work is repair, not correction: calm the inflammation, put lipids back, and leave the skin alone long enough to rebuild. Extraction only where it is genuinely safe.

One calming treatment and two products at home settles most barriers within six weeks. Once it holds, we start on the concern you came in with.

Stop all acids and retinoids for now. A bland cleanser, a ceramide moisturiser, mineral sunscreen if chemical filters sting.

While the barrier is down we keep to what calms it — no steam, no harsh extraction, no acids. It is the fastest route back.
