1 Lancôme Advanced Génifique Sensitive Dual Concentrate ($109)

Factors such as stress, lack of sleep and UV exposure can lead to temporary ‘chrono-sensitivity’. Many of the symptoms – flare-ups, tightness and stinging – are similar to true skin sensitivity. Rather than a wholesale switch to a sensitive-skin regime, those ‘bad skin days’ need a targeted treatment like this one. Before first use, click the dispenser and shake the bottle to mix the antioxidants (ferulic acid and vitamin E) into the powerful serum base. Its probiotic extracts will calm the skin and strengthen its barrier function.
