Did you know that 7 out of 10 women in the US have sensitive skin?
Through extensive research and clinical studies, La Roche-Posay scientists learned that not all sensitive skin is the same, nor does it experience the same symptoms or discomfort. In fact, there are 3 main types: intolerant, redness-prone, and dehydrated.
What is it? Intolerant skin is the most sensitive skin. It is hyper-reactive to many ingredients commonly used in skincare.
What causes it? The principal causes of such reactions are preservatives, fragrances, cleansers with added soaps, emulsifiers, resins and lanolin.

What is it? Redness is a common condition affecting 14 million women in the US. It takes many forms, ranging from a slight flush to noticeable red blotches on the face and can possibly lead to a more serious condition called rosacea.
What causes it? Redness is caused by the repeated influence of various internal and external factors (food, climate, stress or pollution), which triggers inflammation in the skin, causing redness and discomfort.

What is it? Dehydrated skin is a lack of moisture (water) in the skin.
What causes it? The principal causes of dehydrated skin include prolonged exposure to sun, heat or wind, harsh skincare products (soap-based cleansers), not drinking enough water, excess caffeine, and certain medications.
