What it is
Sensitive skin reacts easily to products, environment, or treatment, showing up as redness, tightness, stinging, or a compromised skin barrier.

When to see a professional
Sensitive and reactive skin benefits most from a personal consultation, since the right plan depends on your triggers and barrier health. Some active treatments, such as strong peels or microneedling, may not be appropriate for reactive skin. Persistent redness, burning, or reactions that do not settle should be evaluated by a physician, as they can point to conditions like rosacea or dermatitis.
