The full name of sensitive skin is "self-perceived sensitive skin". It is mainly subjective sensations such as tingling, burning, itching and tightness. It often occurs after using cosmetics and the discomfort feels further aggravated when exposed to a dry or cold environment. Although repairing skin care products have auxiliary repair effects on sensitive skin in terms of formula design, after entering the circulation field, merchants exaggerate factors such as product efficacy and improper use are seriously hurting the sensitive skin's trust and use effect in this type of product. So today we will analyze the ingredients of 8 skin barrier repair creams to see which one is truly suitable for sensitive skin.
1, Silex Fine Repair Moisturizing Cream
Main oils: a variety of synthetic esters, mineral lipids and silicone oil
Physiological lipids: ceramide NP, ceramide AP, ceramide EOP, phytosphingosine, cholesterol
Moisturizing ingredients: glycerol , sodium hyaluronate
Soothing ingredients:
Anticorrosion system: phenoxyethanol
Fragrance-free
Overall evaluation:
This product has a simple formula, mainly relying on synthetic oils, mineral grease and silicone oil to lock in water and moisturizing. The ingredients are ordinary, and there is not even the most common vegetable oil. Except for sodium hyaluronate and vitamin E, there are no other active ingredients, which shows the strict cost control. Without the addition of physiological lipids, it can only be the most common entry-level moisturizer.
talks about physiological liposomes, and a composite component is added. The limited use concentration of the preservative phenoxyethanol in cosmetics is up to 1%. According to this speculation, the amount of physiological liposomes added is less than 1%. According to the data of this component, in order to achieve the effect of repairing the barrier, the amount of addition needs to be above 3%. There are no soothing ingredients added at the same time. So you can't count on the repair function of this cream too much.
Overall, it can be used as a moisturizing cream, but it is a bit of a care. In terms of ingredients, it is not worth a big bowl and is affordable.
Suitable for skin types: mixed skin, ordinary dry skin, mild sensitive skin
2, Skin Liquan B5 Multi-Effect Repair Cream
Main oils (moisturizing and repairing, water locking): Hydrogenated polyisobutylene (synthetic squalane , 2nd place) and polydimethylsiloxane (3rd place), avocado fat (5th place)
Physiological oils:
Soothing ingredients: panthenol (moisturizing and repairing), hydroxyl asiaticin, zinc gluconate/copper/manganese.
Red-fill ingredients: No
Moisturizing ingredients: glycerin (glycerol), butanediol , 1,3-propanediol
Preservative: Caprylyl glycine
Flavor, pigment: None. The titanium dioxide , silica and alumina in the formula are one component to reduce greasy feeling and enhance the skin feeling.
Overall evaluation:
The amount of oil added is high, the texture is thick, and it may be oily if it is not a big dry skin, but moisturizing should be good. Although
is known as multi-effect repair, except for oils, repair ingredients are very limited. I don’t know where to start with multi-effect? There are no ingredients to soothe and maintain stability, nor are there ingredients to consolidate barriers, and moisturizers only have conventional concentrated alcohols. The added hydroxycentella asiaticin is beneficial to promoting acne scar repair, but the acne skin is generally oily and may not like this oily skin feeling. Compared with special acne removal products, the effect of relying solely on hydroxycentella asiaticin is weaker.
so it can only be a moisturizing cream, and the repair effect is limited.
Suitable for skin: dry skin, mild sensitive skin
3, Mibeier soothing and repair cream
Main oils: tridecanol trimelliate, 2 kinds of silicone oils, avocado tree resin
Physiological lipids: ceramide 2, ceramide 3
Soothing ingredients: Centella asiatica, purslane and other plants Extract
Moisturizing ingredients: glycerin, butanediol, 3 kinds of sodium hyaluronate
Anti-corrosion: polyol anti-corrosion (1,2-pentanediol)
Flavor, pigment: no
Overall evaluation:
The texture is close to the emulsion, it should be relatively refreshing, moderate moisturizing power, and physiological lipids have only two kinds of ceramides, which play a limited role. The ingredients are suitable for sensitive skin, but there is no highlight in the combination of active ingredients such as soothing and maintaining stability. It can barely be considered an entry-level repair cream.
Suitable for skin types: Mixed, mildly dry skin, mildly sensitive skin.
4, Qianzhimi polypeptide rejuvenation moisturizing cream
Main oils: squalane (2nd place), avocado tree fruit resin
Physiological liposomes: complex ceramide, ceramide derivative (N-palmitoyl hydroxyproline cetyl ester), rapesterol, cholesterol, phytosphingosine
Moisturizer: glycerin, trehalose , panthenol, butyl glycol, sodium hyaluronate, β-glucan
Soothing ingredients: 4-tert-butyl cyclohexanol (reduce sting and burning sensation ), Hydroxyphenylpropionamide benzoic acid (oat alkaloids, relieve itching), plant extract, dipotassium glycyrrhizic acid
red-fill ingredients: red mycolytic alcohol, ginger root extract
antioxidant: nicotinamide , carnosine , hexamidine di(hydroxyethylsulfonic acid) salt (both anticorrosion and promote lipid synthesis muscle antioxidant effects)
Preservative: polyol anticorrosion (1,2-pentanediol), hexamidine di(hydroxyethylsulfonic acid) salt
flavor, pigment: jasmine essential oil fragrance, no pigment. Like Lishui Spring B5, titanium dioxide, silica and alumina in the formula are one component to reduce greasyness and enhance the skin feeling.
Overall evaluation:
is aimed at the needs of sensitive skin, and its functions cover the core needs of sensitive skin: gentle ingredients, soothes and maintains stability, and consolidates the barrier. Taking into account the needs of anti-aging.
fat is mainly squalane and avocado resin, with moderate moisturizing. It is paired with a rich variety of physiological liposomes, which can accelerate the repair of the barrier.
uses two monomer components for common tingling, burning and redness of sensitive skin, and the effect is obvious. The skin has a tingling feeling and it takes effect quickly after applying it. For red and red bloodshot, the combination of red mycotic alcohol and ginger root extract is used. 4-Tert-butylcyclohexanol also has the effect of soothing blood vessels and redness.
Niacinamide is a powerful function. It can enhance barrier repair with dipotassium glycyrrhizic acid. It has the effect of anti-inflammatory in acne-removing products. The addition of carnosine enhances the antioxidant function of this product.
is suitable for skin types: mixed skin, dry skin, and various sensitive skin. It has a good instant soothing effect on tingling, dry and itchy skin.
5, FreshFreshFreshtials Guyuan Repair Classic Facial Cream (Nun Cream)
Main oils: White Pond Flower Seed Oil , White Beeswax , Sweet Almond (PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS) Oil, Multi-Still Allman Lis Flower Wax
Preservative: 1,2-pentanediol
No pigment. Use lemon peel extract and osmanthus extract to aroma.
Overall evaluation:
This cream has simple ingredients. The main white flower seed oil officially announced that the addition amount is 53%, and it is mixed with white beeswax, which has a thick texture and is greasy.
White Pond Flower Seed Oil is rich in natural vitamin E and long-chain fatty acids, so it is stable and not easy to oxidize (but additional vitamin E is added to the formula).But there is no evidence that this oil has better skin care properties than other common oils, and there is no evidence that Baichi Flower Seed Oil has superior repair, wrinkle removal and anti-aging effects.
The function of oil is mainly to fill the gaps on the surface of the stratum corneum, moisten the epidermal cells, form a lipid film on the skin surface, and play a role in closing and moisturizing. Different oils have different ingredients and skin feel. Even if some oils contain highly effective active ingredients, due to the concentration, no oil has more activity than purified or synthesized monomers. No oil or plant extract can replace monomeric active ingredients such as nicotinamide, ektoin, bosein, polypeptide, retinol, vitamin C, astaxanthin, fruit acid, salicylic acid and other monomeric active ingredients.
Suitable for skin types: dry skin
6, Yiquan Soothing and Repair Cream
Version: Guozhuang Beijinzi J20179728
Main oils: liquid paraffin, synthetic oils
Physiological lipids:
Moisturizing: butanediol, panthenol, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate
Moisturizing: butanediol, panthenol, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate
Soothing ingredients: zinc oxide , magnesium sulfate , copper gluconate, glutamine ethyl indole
Anticorrosion system: There is no clear anticorrosion ingredients
Flavor, pigment: no
Overall evaluation:
Liquid paraffin and zinc oxide adds the texture of this cream will be very thick and have a good sealing effect. This is also the reason why it is called "bandage cream". Zinc oxide has oil absorption, astringency, and anti-inflammatory effects. Magnesium sulfate and copper gluconate can promote healing.
But because it is thick and easy to rub mud, many people may not be able to accept this skin feeling.
Several composite components contain citric acid , and citric acid is added separately. Like the formula of Eserin, it promotes the keratin renewal of dry skin and improves dry skin.
formula idea traditionally protects the skin through the closed effect and promotes the skin's self-repair.
is suitable for skin types: large dry skin, severely sensitive skin.
7, Runbaiyan Hyaluronic Acid Barrier Conditioning Cream
Main oils: mainly isopropyl isostearate, paired with two silicone oils, a small amount of avocado resin and jojoba esters
Physiological lipids: Complex ceramyl ceramyl amine, cholesterol, phytosphingosine, etc. are a composite component
moisturizing ingredients: glycerin, betaine , compound sodium hyaluronate components (including derivatives and crosslinked polymers), panthenol, β-glucan
soothing ingredients: oat alkaloids (hydroxyphenylpropionamide benzoic acid, anti-ituit), licorice Dipotassium acid, Centella asiatica extract, Purslane extract
Antioxidant ingredients: Ektoin (tetrahydromethylpyrimidine carboxylic acid), Lactobacillus fermentation lysate (promoting beneficial bacteria)
Anticorrosion system: 1,2-pentanediol combined with ethylhexylglycerol
No pigmentation, fragrance comes from patchouli extract
Overall evaluation:
In order to obtain the texture of "ice cream", a large number of synthetic oils, emulsifiers and softeners are used. While shaping the texture of "daughter cream", it may put a burden on the skin. Some people may feel heavy and sticky.
focuses on adding the main ingredients composite sodium hyaluronate components, which is more moisturizing than ordinary sodium hyaluronate, taking into account both absorption and epidermal residence time. With silicone oil and rich lipids, the moisturizing properties of this cream are worth looking forward to. In terms of
ingredients, physiological liposomes, various soothing ingredients, especially popular Centella asiatica and purslane, but the amount of addition is low, and the itching is mainly due to oat alkaloids. Ikedoin can enhance skin resistance and is a good antioxidant ingredient for sensitive skin. The purpose of adding this component to Lactobacillus fermentation lysate is mainly to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.
repair components, except for oat alkaloids, have a lot of other ingredients, but each added amount is relatively small, which affects the actual effect.
It should be noted that isopropyl isostearate, ranked third, is a recognized ingredient with a high risk of acne (dose 1-5%, acne-causing index 4-5.) If you change this ingredient, it will have a greater impact on the texture. But isn't the texture of "ice cream", really that important?
Suitable for skin types: dry skin, mild sensitive skin
8, FAB soothing and repair cream
Main oils: Stearic acid , avocado resin, squalane and various synthetic oils, high oil content and heavy.
Physiological lipids: ceramide 3
Moisturizing ingredients: glycerol
Soothing ingredients: colloidal oat flour, allantoin , plant ingredients
Anticorrosion system: phenoxyethanol, cinnaglycol
Overall evaluation:
A cream that needs to be "emulsified" in advance is estimated to be suitable for extremely cold and dry areas. There are few repair and active ingredients, colloidal oat flour may release some soothing and anti-inflammatory ingredients. Phenoxyethanol may cause tingling sensations to sensitive skin. Although
is added with ceramide 3, it is too perfunctory to add a ceramide alone. Physiological liposomes include ceramide, cholesterol , and free fatty acid . They need to be added in proportion at the same time to promote skin barrier repair. Adding a single ingredient is generally regarded as conceptual addition.
Although forming a protective film on the face with oil can indeed reduce the irritation of the external environment to the skin, the skin feel is difficult to accept. Moreover, for sensitive skin, just being stuffy cannot relieve all kinds of discomfort.
Suitable for skin type: large dry skin. Cold and dry areas, outdoor.
