The Acne Sensitive Skin Paradox

Acne and sensitive skin can co-exist. It is also especially problematic because acne prone skin tends to be associated with overproduction of sebum, yet we understand skin sensitivity as a problem with dry skin. While it seems paradoxical, such a phenomenon often described as oily-dehydrated skin—can be explained this way. Dry skin isn’t necessarily just dehydrated. We are referring to a disrupted skin barrier —which can occur in the presence of excess oil production.  We delve into the science of this paradox in this week’s masterclass on acne skincare routines.
