The Sensitive Cream hydrates and balances sensitive skin. It helps reduce redness, irritation, and dryness, and ensures that the skin barrier remains strong. This cream is ideal for daily use to keep the skin healthy and comfortable.
The Sensitive Cream works effectively because it is specially developed for people with sensitive skin. It contains Avena Sativa (oat extract), which is known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, which reduces redness and irritation. Jojoba oil and Cocos Nucifera (coconut oil) intensively moisturize the skin without feeling heavy on the skin, and strengthen the skin barrier, keeping the skin balanced and protected from external influences.
The Sensitive Cream is specifically designed for people with sensitive skin. It is ideal for anyone who suffers from skin irritations, redness or skin that reacts quickly to environmental factors such as weather changes, heating or air-conditioned environments. Thanks to the mild, natural ingredients, the cream is suitable for daily use, even on the most delicate skin types.

(Active) ingredients

Avena Sativa, better known as oats, is a versatile ingredient rich in fatty acids, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. In skin care, Avena Sativa is mainly used for its soothing and calming properties, which are effective in reducing irritation, itching and redness. Its main active ingredients, such as avenanthramides, are powerful antioxidants that reduce inflammation and protect the skin from free radical damage. In addition, the beta-glucans in oats help hydrate and restore the skin barrier, which is crucial for maintaining healthy skin. Avena Sativa is particularly suitable for the care of sensitive and reactive skin, thanks to its ability to soothe the skin and strengthen its natural barrier function.
Cocos Nucifera (Coconut Oil) is a vegetable oil extracted from the flesh of coconuts and is rich in lauric acid, a fatty acid with strong antimicrobial and moisturizing properties. It strengthens the skin barrier by replenishing the lipids in the skin, which helps retain moisture and prevent dryness. Coconut oil also has anti-inflammatory properties, ideal for soothing irritated skin. It deeply nourishes the skin without leaving a greasy residue, making it perfect for softening and moisturizing.
Jojoba oil is extracted from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis plant and is a unique ingredient in skin care due to its composition, which closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum. This oil is rich in fatty acids and ester-like compounds, which intensely hydrate the skin without clogging pores, making it ideal for both dry and oily skin types. Jojoba oil contains vitamin E and B-complex vitamins, which contribute to antioxidant activity, skin repair, and protection against free radical damage. It also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it useful for soothing irritated skin and treating acne.

How to use the Sensitive Cream with other Iconic Elements products For both the morning and evening routine Step 1: Cleansing Products: Iconic Elements Cleansing Milk Step 1 and/or Cleansing Lotion Step 2.

Here is a global step by step routine for your skin.

1. Cleansing the skin – Cleansers

Start with a cleanser to remove dirt, oil and makeup. Gently massage the cleanser into damp skin and rinse with lukewarm water.

Cleansing is the first step in any skincare routine. It removes dirt, oil and makeup from the skin, leaving your skin feeling fresh and clean. Regular cleansing prevents clogged pores and helps reduce skin problems such as acne.

2. Targeted care – Serums

Apply a serum to cleansed skin. Choose a serum that is tailored to your skin needs, such as anti-aging or hydration. Let the serum sit on your skin for a few minutes before moving on to the next step.

Serums are concentrated formulas that penetrate deep into the skin to target specific skin concerns, such as fine lines, pigmentation or loss of elasticity. They often contain powerful active ingredients and are applied after cleansing to maximise their effectiveness.

3. Hydration, protection and repair – Creams

Apply a cream to nourish and protect the skin. Use a day cream in the morning and a night cream in the evening.

Creams hydrate and protect the skin, provide the necessary nutrition and help restore the skin barrier. They prevent dryness and irritation and can address specific skin problems such as dark spots or wrinkles.

4. UV- and light protection (Sunscreen)

Finish with a sunscreen. This will protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent premature skin aging. Apply generously and reapply as needed during the day.

Sun protection is essential to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. It prevents sunburn, premature aging and reduces the risk of skin cancer. Use a broad spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your skin, even on cloudy days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the Sensitive Cream is specially formulated for people with sensitive skin and is safe for daily use. It helps to balance and protect the skin from external influences without causing irritation, making it an ideal choice for daily care of sensitive skin.
The Sensitive Cream has been developed with a formula that is specifically tailored to the delicate skin of the face. It contains ingredients that are aimed at soothing and protecting the face, where the skin is often more sensitive than on other parts of the body. This makes the cream very effective in maintaining a healthy skin balance on the face. There is of course no objection to applying it elsewhere on the body.
The Sensitive Cream and the Calming Cream have both been developed to support the skin, but they have different functions depending on the condition of your skin. Sensitive Cream: This cream is designed to balance and maintain sensitive skin. It is ideal for daily use on skin that is sensitive, but not necessarily irritated. Ingredients such as Avena Sativa, jojoba oil, and Cocos Nucifera work together to hydrate and protect the skin, so that the skin barrier remains intact and the skin feels calm and comfortable. Calming Cream: The Calming Cream, on the other hand, is specially formulated for times when the skin is out of balance and irritated. This cream contains intensively soothing ingredients that help to restore the skin and reduce redness. It is ideal for use when the skin needs extra care, for example after exposure to stressors or during episodes of eczema or rosacea. In short, use the Sensitive Cream to keep your skin balanced and protected in everyday life, and switch to the Calming Cream when your skin becomes irritated and needs extra soothing and recovery.
For optimal results, apply the Sensitive Cream both morning and night. Apply a small amount to cleansed skin and massage gently. This helps keep the skin hydrated and balanced throughout the day and night.
The Sensitive Cream has been primarily developed for people with sensitive skin, but positive experiences have been shared by customers who have applied it to recent scars, such as after a caesarean section or injury. Feedback shows that with twice daily use for four weeks, scars feel softer and smoother. The possible active ingredient in the Sensitive Cream that contributes to the improvement of scars is Avena Sativa (oat extract). Known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, which helps reduce irritation and promote skin repair. Although the Sensitive Cream has not been specifically developed for scar treatment, these customer feedbacks suggest that its use can have a positive effect on the texture and appearance of recent scars.
