Sensitive/Compromised

Sensitive and compromised skin can look and feel very similar but that doesn’t mean they’re the same thing. Sensitive skin is a genetically determined skin type, meaning it is naturally more reactive and has a lower tolerance to certain ingredients, environmental changes and external stress. It may flush easily, feel tight or uncomfortable and respond more quickly to heat, cold, friction or active skincare.

Compromised skin, on the other hand, is something that can happen to any skin type when the barrier has been weakened. Over-exfoliation, incorrect product use, aggressive treatments, lifestyle factors, environmental exposure, stress and certain medications can all interfere with the skin’s ability to hold onto moisture and protect itself from irritants. When this happens, skin that was never previously sensitive can begin to sting, feel dry, become reactive or suddenly struggle with products it once tolerated well.

At INSKIN.CO, we keep care for sensitive and compromised skin simple, but never basic. Our formulas use biologically active botanicals alongside calming, replenishing and barrier-supporting ingredients to reduce unnecessary stress on the skin, restore what has been lost and support stronger, more resilient skin function over time.
