Sensitive skin can be related to impaired barrier function of the skin's surface layers. Without this protection, skin becomes dry and easily
irritated. Barrier function can be diminished through genetic factors,
climatic conditions and skincare products that remove skin lipids (sebum)
and cause irritation.

The Rationale skincare range:

• can assist in fortifying your skin’s vital barrier function
• contains no known irritants or sensitising agents
• is so mild it can even be used after skin resurfacing procedures
  such as chemical peels, IPL, microdermabrasion and laser.

Our long experience with the unique needs of fragile resurfaced skin makes our products ideal for patients with the most sensitive and reactive skin.
