Treat the multiple triggers behind inflammation for lasting relief from sensitivity flare-ups.

Itching, burning, stinging and redness are the obvious signs of sensitive skin. The triggers behind these sensations are less clear: genetics, hormones, stress, chemical assaults, foods and even aggressive skin treatments can intensify skin’s highly reactive state. The common thread behind irritation, flushing and stinging is inflammation. When paired with the loss of skin’s protective barrier, skin health is compromised and becomes highly reactive.

UltraCalming™ contains UltraCalming™ Complex, our exclusive complex clinically proven to control neurogenic and immunogenic inflammatory pathways that lead to skin sensitivity.

How to use Dermalogica Super Sensitive Shield SPF30

After cleansing and toning, apply evenly and liberally to face, preferably 30 minutes prior to sun exposure. May be applied after or instead of prescribed Dermalogica Moisturiser. For continuous coverage, apply regularly and reapply as needed after swimming and exercise.
