The Acne Sensitive Skin Paradox

Dermatologist Talks: Science of Beauty - A podcast by Dr. Teo Wan Lin

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. Access this free tutorial created as part of the upcoming Skincare Formulation Series, a  course created for advanced practitioners. Join Dr.TWL as she imparts her expertise in treating sensitive skin types with advanced skincare routine techniques.
