Introduction: Why Sensitive Skin Needs Special Care
If you have sensitive skin, you know the struggle—redness, irritation, sudden breakouts, or dry patches that seem to flare up out of nowhere. Finding the right skincare products that won’t cause burning, stinging, or inflammation can feel like a never-ending battle.
But don’t worry— you’re not alone. Sensitive skin is more common than you think, and the key to keeping it healthy is a gentle yet effective skincare routine designed to soothe, protect, and strengthen your skin barrier.
At Revoderm, we understand that one-size-fits-all skincare just doesn’t work for delicate, reactive skin. That’s why we’ve created a dermatologist-developed routine with calming, non-irritating ingredients that work in harmony with your skin, rather than against it.
If you’re ready to give your skin the care it deserves, let’s dive into the ultimate sensitive skin routine—featuring science-backed solutions that actually work.
How Do You Know If You Have Sensitive Skin?
Sensitive skin isn’t just about feeling a little dry or irritated —it’s a skin type that requires extra care and is prone to reacting to environmental triggers, harsh ingredients, and even stress.
Signs You Have Sensitive Skin:
✔ Redness or flushing easily
✔ Burning or stinging sensations after using products
✔ Dryness, peeling, or rough patches
✔ Breakouts caused by irritation rather than oil
✔ Reactions to fragrance, alcohol, or certain skincare ingredients
✔ Easily inflamed due to weather, stress, or hormonal changes
If you relate to any of the above, your skin needs extra love and care. That’s where a calming, protective skincare routine comes in.
The Perfect Skincare Routine for Sensitive Skin
Step 1: Cleanse with a Gentle, Hydrating Face Wash
Many cleansers strip the skin, leading to dryness, redness, and irritation. Instead, choose a cleanser that’s mild, soothing, and sulfate-free.
✔ Try: Detox Cleanser – This ultra-gentle formula removes dirt and impurities without disturbing your skin’s protective barrier. Infused with calming ingredients like allantoin and aloe vera, it soothes and hydrates while cleansing.
Step 2: Soothe & Strengthen with a Hydrating Serum
Sensitive skin often has a weak moisture barrier, making it more prone to irritation. Using a hydrating, prebiotic-rich serum will help your skin stay balanced and resilient.
✔ Try: Revoderm HA + Prebiotics Serum – Packed with low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, this serum penetrates deep into the skin, restoring hydration without clogging pores. Prebiotics help strengthen the skin’s microbiome, improving resilience against irritation.
Step 3: Moisturize to Lock in Hydration & Protect
A good moisturizer should soothe and protect sensitive skin while preventing moisture loss. The best formulas contain barrier-repairing ingredients like ceramides and peptides.
✔ Try: Revoderm Redness Relief Moisturizer – This lightweight yet deeply nourishing moisturizer is formulated for sensitive skin, helping to reduce redness, strengthen the skin’s protective barrier, and keep skin soft and hydrated.
Step 4: Always Use a Mineral Sunscreen
Sun exposure is one of the biggest triggers for sensitive skin, leading to inflammation, redness, and even rosacea flare-ups. Unlike chemical sunscreens that may cause irritation, mineral-based sunscreens provide a protective shield without irritating your skin.
✔ Try: Revoderm Age Defy Mineral Antioxidant Sunscreen – Featuring 20% non-nano zinc oxide and antioxidant-rich VENUCEANE™, this sunscreen provides broad-spectrum protection while helping to calm and repair skin.
Bonus: Extra Steps for Ultra-Sensitive Skin
If your skin needs extra soothing care, consider adding these steps to your routine:
✔ Gentle Exfoliation (1-2x Per Week) – Try Revoderm Pumpkin Enzyme Mask for a non-abrasive, enzyme-based exfoliation that removes dead skin without irritation.
✔ Barrier-Boosting Night Treatment – Apply HA + Prebiotics Serum before bed to restore hydration overnight.
✔ Targeted Redness Relief – Use Revoderm Redness Relief Moisturizer to instantly soothe and protect delicate skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve had stubborn cystic, hormonal acne for years. Can Revoderm help with that?
Absolutely! Acne is one of the top concerns our customers have online or in our clinic. Our specialists and dermatologist will help with a customized online consult and treatment plan.
Can you help with other medical skin conditions, like eczema and psoriasis?
Our private consults can help with acne, anti-aging, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, rosacea, and hair loss. If you suspect you have another issue, contact your local dermatologist.
Do I have to part with all of my existing skincare products?
We get it–you invested your time and money on your current skincare routine. However, in order for us to fulfill our promise to you and help you achieve your best skin possible, you must follow our recommendations, which includes products, routine, and prescriptions. We want to make sure everything you’re putting on your skin is working for, and not against, you.
If I get a topical prescription from the dermatologist, can I still use Revoderm skincare products?
Definitely! Revoderm formulas are all medical-grade and developed by a dermatologist, which means they work in harmony with Rx products. (You can’t say the same for random OTC/department store skincare.)
