Beauty experts online have been raving about a mysterious cleanser formulated for sensitive skin, but what exactly is it, and where can we get it?
Recently, skincare trends have been leaning toward routines with simpler steps, with trends like “skip care” and “skinimalism” leading users to prioritize hydration and skin barrier protection over excessive treatments. However, among the skin types that could benefit from such routines, those with sensitive skin might encounter a different situation altogether, hypersensitive triggers and all.
While there is a lot of advice on how to handle sensitive skin such as using natural ingredients and going for hypoallergenic options, they may not always be irritation-free. In an interview with Allure US, board-certified dermatologist Sejal Shah explains, “[Hypoallergenic] products are not allergy-proof. It’s impossible to guarantee that a product will never cause an allergic reaction because there are numerous potential allergens and what people are allergic to can vary.”
So, how do you find the right routine for sensitive skin? Recently, Dr. Shine Reyes saw virality after featuring a specific cleanser on her TikTok, detailing its properties for sensitive skin. Described as having an ultra hydrating cream base with a hypoallergenic and fragrance-free formula, the product later gained attention from other local skin experts, with the likes of board-certified OBGYN Dr. Issa Matibag and skincare enthusiast Ruzz Melendez claiming the gatekept product as a potential one-step solution.
As more began to weigh in on the conversation through their respective platforms, beauty-centered content creators quickly took to building up the cleanser’s demand, with some sharing their respective struggles with sensitive skin while others immediately asked where it could be found.
While specific details remain scarce, the mystery product’s rising popularity suggests that there’s a demand for simplified skincare solutions, especially for sensitive skin. And as more creators continue to share their experiences with this secret product, perhaps your ideas could bring its revelation sooner than expected. Alyssa Lapid wrote for Vogue Philippines, “Skincare is self-care after all and if we’re not taking the time to care for our skin, are we also skimping on taking care of ourselves?”
