25 years of respecting sensitive skin
For each woman, a unique sensitivity
Better choices can be made if you know, and understand, your own skin.
Against external aggressions, the skin is our first protective shield. It is exposed daily to all hazards and therefore, respecting it is paramount.
Invented 25 years ago, Sensiobio H2O’s unique micelles mimick the skin’s natural components in order to achieve one main goal: rid the skin of all its impurities while guaranteeing total respect of its natural balance and protective film.
Our skin can become sensitive at all stages of our life, due to many different factors. For example, the use of unsuitable cosmetic products can weaken it, since many of them are made out of low-quality ingredients containing tiny particles of dirt, called “micropollutants”.
Other harmful elements that should also be taken into account are: poor water quality, environmental conditions (UV exposure, temperature variations, wind, pollution, etc…), psychological factors (such as stress) and hormonal ones (menstrual cycles, for example). As a mediator between our inner biology and the outer world, our skin is exposed daily to multiple factors that can potentially sensitize it.
A quick reminder: other factors that can potentially cause skin sensitivity
-
Physical ones: UV radiation, hot and cold temperatures, wind, rubbing…
-
Chemical ones: use of cosmetics, soaps, water, shaving of the face (for men), etc.
- Internal factors: spicy food, etc.
Having sensitive skin can lead to a feeling of discomfort. This acute sensitivity of the skin tends to lower its tolerance level. In cases of skin sensitivity, the skin reacts only in certain circumstances, and temporarily.
Skin sensitivity is a common condition that affects one third of adult men and women alike, although women are generally more concerned than men. Some types of skin are more sensitive than others for genetic reasons; also, it has been shown that the condition tends to improve as the person gets older.
But lack of attention and care for the skin or internal and external aggressions can also be factors that contribute to the appearance of the phenomenon.
ONE MISSION: restore the skin’s natural balance and strengthen its resistance.
Removing one’s make-up is no longer enough
The way environmental conditions have evolved directly impacts the skin’s daily hygienic requirements, which now imply a further dimension: fighting against pollution and its harmful effects. Cleansing of the skin must now also prevent pollutants of all kind from penetrating, since these can damage the skin’s natural function as a protective shield. Cleansing has therefore become a major issue, since it alone can ward off any excessive sensitization of the skin.
Mission accomplished for Sensibio H2O – our micellar lotion, by mimicking the natural biology of the skin, can be used for all skin types, including the most sensitive. Sensibo H2O removes make up and pollution with highly purified water and micellar technology.

To identify the triggering or aggravating factors responsible for skin reaction, please see a dermatologist. The practitioner will examine you to rule out the possibility of skin disorders are conditions that can trigger skin sensitivity and which require specific treatment.
All potential sources of skin aggression must be carefully avoided.
These include:
- exposure to cold,
- irritating products and traumatic cosmetic procedures (aggressive cleansing, exfoliation, unsuitable creams, etc.),
- exposing one’s skin to the sun with no protective cream, since one of the sun’s harmful effects is to increase skin sensitivity.
- Only use soothing cosmetic products, and limit their number.
- Cleanse your face with a high-tolerance, soothing product, preferably a leave-in product.
- Be very careful when drying your face; do not scrub but dab lightly.
- Once or twice a day, gently apply a very high-tolerance lotion specially formulated to reduce skin discomfort.
- Once or twice a week, gently apply an intense moisturizer such as a mask. Also, make-up should be minimal and chosen with great care.
A dermatologist is the best resource for identifying skin disorders, finding the cause of your skin issues, and developing an adapted treatment. Please consult your dermatologist, doctor or pharmacist so that they may best advise you on your personal skin regimen.
