“…To address this question, it is first important to investigate the relationships between the different irritant stimuli. There has been limited work to investigate the relationship between non‐immunologic skin reactions, such as stinging, urticaria and contact dermatitis from surfactants, which has reported conflicting results, suggesting that any correlations between reactivities to these types of irritant endpoints is at best weak (1–14). In the present study, we also investigated a number of different endpoints in an attempt to identify any interrelationships between them and then to determine whether there were any individuals who were broadly sensitive to all of the stimuli tested.…”

“…In a recent publication (1), approximately 50% of women and 40% of men surveyed regarded themselves as having sensitive skin. Some suggest that the perception of ‘sensitive skin’ is possibly influenced by the media, as some published data show no correlation between objective skin findings and complaints about sensitive skin (2). Yet, there are findings to suggest that sensitive skin is a real issue (3).…”

“…There is huge variability in the presentation of sensitive skin, and the symptoms reported can include subjective effects such as stinging, itching and burning or visual irritation such as erythema, desquamation, papules and wheals, following the use of a cosmetic or a personal care product (1–4). These effects may be a result of allergic or irritant contact dermatitis, urticaria, eczema, psoriasis, etc.…”

There exists within the population subsets of individuals who display heightened skin reactivity to materials the majority find tolerable. In a series of investigations, we have examined interrelationships between many of the endpoints associated with the term 'sensitive skin'. In the most recent work, 58 volunteers were treated with 10% lactic acid, 50% ethanol, 0.5% menthol and 1.0% capsaicin on the nasolabial fold, unoccluded, with sensory reactions recorded at 2.5 min, 5 min and 8 min after application. Urticant susceptibility was evaluated with 1 m benzoic acid and 125 mM trans-cinnamic acid applied to the volar forearm for 20 min. A 2 x 23-h patch test was also conducted using 0.1% and 0.3% sodium dodecyl sulfate, 0.3% and 0.6% cocamidopropyl betaine and 0.1% and 0.2% benzalkonium chloride to determine irritant susceptibility. As found in previous studies, increased susceptibility to one endpoint was not predictive of sensitivity to another. In our experience, nasolabial stinging was a poor predictor of general skin sensitivity. Nevertheless, it may be possible to identify in the normal population individuals who, coincidentally, are more generally sensitive to a range of non-immunologic adverse skin reactions. Whether such individuals are those who experience problems with skin care products remains to be addressed.

“…It is estimated that 50% of women and 40% of men view themselves as having sensitive skin to some degree. 34,35 They describe their skin as highly reactive, itchy, uncomfortable, red, and dry and that it is exacerbated by the environment (ultraviolet radiation, temperature, and wind), topical medicinal and cosmetic products, pollution, stress, and hormones. 36 …”

Background:Although cosmetic procedures have a significant impact on certain aspects of aging, such as deep, wrinkling, sagging, and volume loss, they fail to address the overall quality of the skin.Methods:Daily skincare routines potentially can have a significant long-term impact on the overall quality of a person’s complexion.Results:By expanding our product knowledge, we can help our patients individualize their at-home skincare routine using effective products and ingredients designed to address their specific skin concern and support the professional care we deliver.Conclusions:Here, we discuss the types of products and ingredients suitable for the most common dermatologic concerns, from wrinkling to skin sensitivity, acne to sun damage.

“…Approximately, 50% of women and 40% of men surveyed regarded themselves as having sensitive skin, creating a sizable demand for products designed to minimize skin sensitivity. [1,2] Some studies have suggested that sensitive skin is a result of impaired barrier function, which leads to the exposure of immune system cells and sensitive nerves, resulting in marked cutaneous responses to otherwise harmless stimuli.

Sensitive skin is less tolerant to frequent and prolonged use of cosmetics and toiletries. It is self-diagnosed and typically unaccompanied by any obvious physical signs of irritation. With the change in lifestyle and also with increased opportunity to use many new brands of cosmetics and toiletries, there has been an increase in females complaining of unique sensation in their facial skin. Sensitive skin presents as smarting, burning, stinging, itching, and/or tight sensation in their facial skin. The condition is found in more than 50% of women and 40% of men, creating a sizable demand for products designed to minimize skin sensitivity. Good numbers of invasive and non-invasive tests are designed to evaluate and predict the sensitive skin. Management includes guidelines for selecting suitable cosmetics and toiletries in sensitive skin individuals.
