La Roche-Posay · Sensitive Routine

Sensitive skin needs a routine that cleanses, comforts and protects without disrupting its natural balance. This La Roche-Posay Sensitive Routine collection brings together the brand's Toleriane and Cicaplast lines, formulated for skin that reacts easily to everyday conditions like weather, cleansing or daily skincare use.

Building a Gentle Skincare Routine

A simple sensitive-skin routine typically follows three steps: cleanse, hydrate, and protect or repair. Start with the LA ROCHE-POSAY Toleriane cleansing micellar foam, a gentle foaming cleanser designed for sensitive skin types. Follow with a moisturiser suited to your skin's needs — the lightweight Hydraphase HA Light Moisturiser or the richer Hydraphase HA Rich version, or opt for the Toleriane Dermallergo Fluide, a fluid texture formulated for sensitive skin.

For skin that needs extra comfort, the Cicaplast Baume B5+ Ultra Reparing Soothing Balm is a multi-purpose balm that can be layered into a routine as needed, while the Cicaplast Gel B5 offers a lighter gel texture as an alternative format. The collection also includes a Cicaplast Baume B5+ bundle, pairing a full-size and a travel-size balm together, and a Cicaplast Baume B5 with SPF50 for daytime use.

Choosing the Right Products for Your Skin

Not all sensitive skin is the same, so texture and format matter when selecting products. If your skin leans dry, the Hydraphase HA Rich or the Cicaplast balm formats may suit better; if it's more normal-to-combination, lighter fluids and gels tend to feel more comfortable day to day. Sun protection is also part of a complete sensitive-skin routine — explore the Anthelios Uvmune 400 Tinted Sunscreen SPF50+ or the Anthelios Age Correct SPF50 with Niacinamide for tinted, daily-wear coverage alongside your moisturiser.

Since sensitive skin responds differently from person to person, it's worth checking product labels for full ingredient lists and patch-testing new items before adding them to your daily routine. A pharmacist or dermatologist can also help you match textures and formats to your specific skin type. If you're building out other parts of your regimen, browse the wider La Roche-Posay Hydration Routine or the full La Roche-Posay range for complementary formats and sizes.
