Sensitive Skin Profile
Your skin reacts easily to environmental changes, new products, or stress. You may experience redness, irritation, stinging, or burning sensations with certain ingredients. Your skin barrier may be compromised, making it more susceptible to external irritants and requiring gentle, strengthening care.
Sensitive Skin's Advantage
Sensitive skin often means highly responsive skin – when treated with the right gentle care, it can achieve remarkable clarity and radiance. Your skin's reactivity also makes you more attuned to what it truly needs.

Daily Regimen
Sensitive skin requires a minimalist, gentle approach that focuses on strengthening your skin's barrier while avoiding potential irritants. Our regimen emphasizes soothing, hydrating ingredients that calm inflammation and support your skin's natural healing processes.
Step 1: Gentle Double Cleanse (Evening Essential)
First Cleanse
Apricot Mango Cleansing Milk: This ultra-gentle milk cleanser removes impurities without stripping or irritating sensitive skin. Rich in nourishing oils that respect your skin's delicate balance.
Second Cleanse
Orange You Jelly Cleanser: An exceptionally mild gel cleanser that provides thorough cleansing while maintaining your skin's protective barrier.
- Skin Wisdom: For sensitive skin, gentle is always better. Double cleansing with mild formulas ensures complete cleansing without over-stimulation.
Step 2: Gentle Toning (Morning + Evening)
Watermelon Mint Hydrating Mist: This alcohol-free, soothing mist removes any remaining cleanser residue while providing an immediate burst of hydration and cooling relief to irritated skin.
- Skin Wisdom: Avoid traditional toners with alcohol or strong actives. Hydrating mists provide the benefits of toning while adding soothing moisture.
Step 3: Gentle Exfoliation (1x per week maximum)
Mint Poppy Seed Polish An ultra-gentle physical exfoliant that removes dead skin cells without micro-tears or irritation. Use sparingly and only when your skin feels comfortable.
- Skin Wisdom: Sensitive skin benefits more from gentle, infrequent exfoliation. Let your skin guide you – if it feels irritated, skip the exfoliation that week.
Step 4: Targeted Extractions (Only when necessary)
Pore Primer Extraction Solution: If extractions are absolutely necessary, use this gentle preparation solution to minimize trauma to sensitive skin. Always follow with soothing care.
Step 5: Soothing Treatment (Morning + Evening)
Main Squeeze Hydrating Serum Provides immediate hydration and plumping without potentially irritating actives. This gentle serum forms the foundation of your treatment routine.
Pomegranate Acai Antioxidant Serum Gentle antioxidants that protect against environmental damage while supporting your skin's natural healing processes.
- Skin Wisdom: For sensitive skin, hydration and protection are more important than strong actives. Build your routine around gentle, supportive ingredients.
Step 6: Hydrate & Protect
Eye Area:
Aloe Cucumber Eye Gel or Yogurt Kale Eye Concentrate Choose the aloe gel for cooling relief or the yogurt concentrate for extra nourishment around the delicate eye area.
Face:
Blueberry Milk Moisturizer This gentle, creamy moisturizer provides essential barrier support without heavy fragrances or potentially irritating ingredients.
Sun Protection:
- Quench & Protect SPF 30 (mineral-based, gentle protection)
- Tropical Topical Matte SPF 30 (if you can tolerate it)
- Tinted Dew Drops SPF 50 (for coverage and protection)
Weekly Enhancements
Soothing Treatment (1x per week)
Rehab Recovery Mask: This calming mask is specifically formulated to soothe irritated skin and strengthen the skin barrier. Perfect for weekly maintenance of sensitive skin.
Alternative Option: Golden Hour Glow Mask Use only if your skin is not in a reactive state. This professional treatment provides deep nourishment and mineral support.
Extra Barrier Support
On days when your skin feels particularly sensitive, layer extra Main Squeeze Hydrating Serum or add a few drops of a facial oil to your Blueberry Milk Moisturizer for additional protection.
Understanding Your Skin
Sensitive skin requires patience. You may notice immediate relief from irritation within days, but true barrier strengthening and resilience building takes 8-12 weeks of consistent, gentle care.
Keep a simple skin diary noting any changes in routine, weather, stress, or diet alongside skin reactions. This helps identify patterns and triggers to avoid.
If your skin becomes reactive, immediately simplify your routine to just cleanser, hydrating mist, one serum, and moisturizer until your skin calms down.
Once your skin is stable, you can very gradually introduce new products – one at a time, testing for several weeks before adding anything else.
Work with a Sorella-trained esthetician who understands sensitive skin. They can help identify triggers, provide gentle professional treatments, and guide your product progression.
