Reactive skin is sensitive to stimuli that do not affect other skin types, which results from the lowering of its tolerance threshold. As a result, it can react very intensively to external factors, such as cosmetic products, temperature changes, alcohol, diet, and internal factors, such as strong emotions or stress. People with reactive skin very often experience stinging, burning, dryness, redness or long-lasting erythema. In order to minimize these unpleasant symptoms, factors causing irritation should be identified and eliminated, and appropriate care should be applied.

With a view to long-term reduction of excessive skin sensitivity, Eau Thermale Avène has created a new line of dermocosmetics
TOLERANCE CONTROL:
- Soothing and regenerating cream for reactive skin
- Soothing and regenerating lotion for dry and reactive skin.
Eau Thermale Avène is a leading French dermocosmetic brand that offers special experience to especially sensitive skin to improve its condition. For 20 years, a team of scientists, experts in the field of water microbiology from the Pierre Fabre Group, CNRS and the University of the Sorbonne has been researching and testing the properties of Avène Thermal Water. Now the Avène Dermatology Laboratory has discovered the groundbreaking ingredient D-Sensinose ™. It is the first post-biotic active ingredient that acts on sensory neurons and reduces all types of skin hypersensitivity.
Why is sensitive skin unpredictable?
Hypersensitive skin overreacts to external or internal factors, including emotions. A weakened protective barrier does not fulfill its function effectively. The tolerance threshold of the receptors responsible for the detection of threats is lowered. As a consequence, the skin reacts excessively and unpleasant feelings (tingling, burning or tightness) appear.
Hypersensitive skin can react to anything. To better understand the causes of sudden hypersensitivity reactions, it is important to understand what the signals are transmitted between the skin and the brain.
Ariadna Ortiz Brugues, Dermatologist and Medical Director of Eau Thermale Avène:
“The skin sensation begins at receptors located at the endings of a sensory neuron in the skin. These receptors convert mechanical, chemical and thermal stimuli into electrical impulses that travel to the brain, where they trigger a sensory sensation.
When hypersensitive skin reacts in an inappropriate way – tingling, redness, discomfort – it is a sign of increased reactivity of sensory neurons or a decrease in their excitability threshold. The mechanism responsible for this reaction is unknown, which is why hypersensitive skin reacts unpredictably.
Hypersensitivity is often accompanied by a defective skin barrier that facilitates the spread of stimuli and their effects.
Neurogenic inflammation is one of the factors that obstruct the transmission of sensory signals. The dilated blood vessels cause reddening and overheating of the skin. Histamine is released, which further sensitizes the skin. ‘
Tame the unpredictable
D-SensinoseTM is a postbiotic active ingredient derived from Avène thermal water:
- It modulates the transmission of sensory messages to sensory neurons.
- Instantly soothes and calms the skin sensations.
D-sensinoseTM is the third postbiotic active ingredient, after I-moduliaTM and C + RestoreTM, drawn from Avène thermal water. It is the essence of the valuable properties of Aquaphilus dolomiae, bacteria found only in Avène thermal water, and at the same time the first ingredient that acts on the sensory neuron and reduces all types of skin hypersensitivity.
The new patented active ingredient is a great convenience for all types of hypersensitive, reactive, allergic skin with a reduced tolerance threshold, in need of immediate relief and long-lasting relief.
Skin Fit:
- Biomimetic formula, 100% imitating the skin
- Targeted penetration of the active ingredient
- Intensive hydration + 59% in 1 hour
- Rebuilding the skin’s protective barrier
Fully safe technology of sterile cosmetic:
- 100% sterility of the product
- 0% preservatives and fragrances
- High tolerance
- New, more comfortable pump that prevents contamination
D-SensinoseTM effectively reduces hyper-reactivity, bringing a definite soothing effect to all types of hypersensitive skin.
Skin hyperreactivity is, in fact, a self-healing neuroinflammatory condition characterized by the comorbidities of the following symptoms:
- Harmful external factors penetrate the weakened protective barrier of the skin,
- The secretion of substance P by the receptors leads to an inflammatory reaction of the skin,
- The molecules cause neurons to overreact and further increase their sensitivity.
The active ingredient, acting at all the above-mentioned levels, helps to break this feedback: it blocks the release of substance P, reduces its effects and strengthens the skin’s protective barrier. After stopping the self-stimulating neurinflammatory reaction, the skin condition is immediately and long-lastingly alleviated, allowing you to regain control over hyper-reactive skin.
SOOTHING REGENERATING CREAM for reactive skin
