Why does sensitive & reactive skin need targeted care?

Up to 60%of women and up to 40% of men report sensitive & reactive skin1,2

Sensitive & reactive skin is more likely to respond to everyday triggers, including UV exposure, temperature changes, pollution, cosmetic products and stress, with visible redness and sensations such as itching, tingling or stinging. Reported in up to 60% of women and up to 40% of men, this heightened reactivity is often associated with a weakened skin barrier, leaving skin more vulnerable to external stressors and affecting everyday comfort and wellbeing.1,2

Effective care can provide short-term relief by helping to soothe and calm discomfort, reduce visible redness, strengthen the skin barrier and improve resilience to everyday triggers.

The Science

Introducing AQUAMMUNIST® Technology

Inspired by the science of the hydrobiome, AQUAMMUNIST® combines mineral-rich Solía Thermal Spring Water from Cantabria with encapsulated Phaeodactylum tricornutum microalgae extract to help calm skin reactivity and support the skin’s natural defences.

Laboratory research has demonstrated the potential of AQUAMMUNIST® to help protect skin cells against factors associated with sensitivity and reactivity.3

Clinical research on SKIN RESIST formulations combining AQUAMMUNIST®, cherimoya extract and niacinamide demonstrated significant reductions in itching and burning sensations following exposure to external triggers, alongside improvements in skin sensitivity and resistance.4
