the real facts about sensitive skin

studies find that most women have sensitive skin.

And the numbers are growing. Just over a decade ago, studies found that one in two women had sensitive skin. But, recent research shows that sensitive skin is a potential problem for three out of four women. A 2001 study found that among 3,300 women, 51.4% reported having sensitive skin.¹ Eight years later, a study of 1,039 people found that sensitive skin was definitely on the rise— 77.3% of people complained of sensitive facial skin and 60% said they had sensitive body skin.²

you don’t have to see sensitive skin
to believe it.

If your skin feels sensitive but looks normal, you’re like a lot of women. In a study that included 869 women, 78.6% reported having sensitive skin but only 18% could point to visible symptoms.³

Because sensitive skin isn’t always visible to the naked eye, many dermatologists have begun to question its physical existence.⁴ With that in mind, it’s no wonder so many women are left to their own devices when it comes to finding products that can help their problem skin. The good news is that more precise methods of scientific testing have found evidence of underlying physical changes. One study concluded that when a person has sensitive skin, physical changes (including inflammation and loss of moisture) occur even when there are no physical signs. And when these changes become severe enough, they develop into obvious signs of irritation, such as red or blotchy skin.⁵
