Hello Beauty,

Is your skin sensitive or reactive? Is it “hot and bothered”? Do you get stinging, burning, pain, itching, redness or swelling when you apply certain products?

Makes it hard to find products that work without causing more problems, doesn’t it?

Most people with sensitive skin actually have reactive skin. They’ve reacted to a certain ingredient, but who can tell which ingredient it is?

Or they have acne prone skin, and may have overused an ingredient like benzoyl peroxide and had an irritant reaction. This can happen with over-washing or using harsh scrubs too. 

True sensitive skin is genetic. If you’re sensitive, you’ll see things like hives, redness, swelling, or rashes. You’ll also see and feel stinging, itching, and burning. Even extreme temperature changes can cause these symptoms. Along with fragrance ingredients, essential oils, preservatives, foaming products, or high or low pH products.

Sometimes these products cause a break in the skin barrier. That allows moisture to escape the skin. And irritants to penetrate the skin. If something gets in, it can cause an immune response. You’ll end up with hives, swelling or redness.

If everything you use burns or stings, you may have barrier damage.

And if you don’t have genetically sensitive skin, you’re most likely reactive. That’s good news, because it’s just a smidge easier to treat than sensitive skin.

Most of our brands have creators that have sensitive and / or reactive skin. They just couldn’t find products that worked, so they created their own.

That’s true of Ducalm, created by Danielle Pitts and Dr. Michael Stone.

Simpler skincare. Advanced results.

Afresh Effect Spa Peel Pads

My Secret Weapon

I've been searching for an at home Peel pad that gives me the same glow after my Spa facials. I've tried multiple products and I've either burned my face off or no difference. After a few uses, my friends noticed my glow… love it! These pads are my secret weapon… the best!

"I have mature, dry skin with rosacea. When I am having a flare or redness, this is the first product I reach for! It calms the redness and leaves my skin soft. There is no burning or irritation like other products I've tried. Definitely recommend!"
