Sensitive Skin | Fabbrimarine UAE

When skin reacts to everything

Redness, tightness, stinging after standard products, visible irritation that doesn’t fully calm down — reactive skin needs formulas built to soothe and reinforce its barrier first, before any active ingredient is introduced. Treating reactive skin the same way as resilient skin usually makes it worse, not better.

Fabbrimarine’s range for reactive skin

Both are formulated to calm rather than actively treat — no added ingredients that could provoke a further reaction, built to support the skin’s own barrier function instead of working against it.

Building a routine for reactive skin

Introduce one product at a time, not a full routine change at once — if skin reacts, you’ll know which product caused it.
Patch test on a small area (inner forearm) for 24 hours before applying to the face.
Avoid layering multiple active treatments (masks, serums with strong actives) alongside XX Cream Face — let the calming formula work on its own first.
If irritation persists beyond a few weeks of gentle care, it’s worth discussing with a dermatologist rather than continuing to try products alone.

Common questions

Frequently asked

A weakened skin barrier is the most common cause — from over-exfoliation, harsh products, environmental stress or simply skin type. Once the barrier is compromised, ordinary products can trigger redness or stinging that wouldn't otherwise occur.

Introduce new products one at a time, patch test on your inner forearm for 24 hours first, and watch for redness, stinging or tightness within a few uses. If irritation appears after adding one specific product, that's your answer.

Not until the barrier is calmer and more stable. Focus on soothing, barrier-supporting formulas like XX Cream Face first, and only reintroduce actives gradually once skin tolerates a basic routine well.

XX Cream Face is formulated for the face specifically; the XX Patch addresses reactive or sensitive areas on the body. Use each for its intended area rather than interchangeably.
