Sensitive & Reactive Skin Treatment in London
Soothe inflammation, repair the skin barrier and calm sensitivity with personalised treatments
With a bespoke approach it is possible to take control of your sensitive, reactive skin and enjoy a calmer complexion
Sensitive or reactive skin can feel unpredictable, one day it’s clear and calm, the next tight, hot, itchy or inflamed. Whether your skin flushes easily, reacts to products, becomes irritated in cold weather or feels constantly on the edge of discomfort, sensitive skin needs a gentler, more protective approach.
At ACE Skin Health Clinic, we focus on repairing your skin barrier, reducing inflammation and helping your skin feel stronger, calmer and more resilient over time.
About Sensitive skin
Understanding Sensitive & Reactive Skin
Sensitive skin isn’t a single condition but a response pattern. It often develops when the skin barrier (the layer that keeps moisture in and irritants out) becomes weakened. When this barrier is disrupted, the skin loses water more quickly (known as increased transepidermal water loss) and becomes more reactive to external triggers.
Common symptoms include redness, itching, burning, dryness, flushing, stinging and visible irritation. Some clients experience ongoing sensitivity due to eczema-prone skin, atopic dermatitis, rosacea or allergies, while others notice sudden reactivity after over-exfoliation, harsh products, stress or hormonal shifts.
The goal is not just to soothe the skin temporarily but to understand what’s driving the sensitivity and help restore a healthier, more balanced barrier.
How We Treat Sensitive & Reactive Skin
Every sensitive-skin plan is gentle, personalised and designed to calm inflammation while strengthening the skin from within. Your treatment path depends on the severity of symptoms, underlying triggers and how your skin responds.
Gentle Bespoke Facials
Our calming facials are tailored specifically for reactive skin. They use soothing, hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients while avoiding anything abrasive or overly stimulating. These treatments reduce redness, calm irritation and support long-term comfort.
Barrier Repair Treatments
These are designed to strengthen the skin’s protective layers, improve moisture retention and reduce reactivity. Ingredients such as ceramides, lipids, humectants and anti-inflammatory actives help restore balance and prevent future flare-ups.
Medical-Grade Skincare
A carefully structured routine is essential for sensitive skin. We select products that hydrate deeply, repair the barrier and calm inflammation while avoiding unnecessary fragrances, harsh acids or irritating preservatives. Over time, this helps regulate sensitivity and improve resilience.
LED Therapy
Gentle LED light treatments – particularly red and near-infrared wavelengths – help soothe inflammation, accelerate repair and support barrier recovery. LED is completely non-invasive and ideal for highly reactive or sensitised skin.
Oxygen Infusion
Oxygen infusions calm redness, hydrates the skin and deliver soothing actives without friction or heat. This treatment is ideal for anyone who struggles with product sensitivity or irritation.
TargetCool
This cooling technology reduces redness and calms inflammation by delivering active ingredients at low temperatures. For reactive skin types, it allows treatment without triggering heat-induced sensitivity.
HydraFacial
HydraFacial can be adapted for sensitive skin using gentler suction, softer exfoliation and calming serums. This supports clearer, smoother skin without overwhelming the barrier.
Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are regenerative molecules that help repair damaged skin, improve hydration and restore healthier cellular function. They are particularly beneficial for compromised barriers or long-term sensitivity.
Exosomes
Exosomes help calm inflammation, support tissue repair and strengthen the skin’s natural defences. For sensitive skin, they can reduce flare-ups and improve resilience over time, especially when used alongside gentle treatments.
Results
With consistent treatment and targeted skincare, many clients notice reduced redness, less irritation and a calmer complexion within a few weeks. Over time, the barrier becomes stronger, the skin feels more comfortable and flare-ups become far less frequent.

Still have questions?
Get in touch with our team and we will answer all of your questions before you book a session.
What causes sensitive skin?
A weakened barrier, inflammation, genetics, environmental factors, certain skincare products or underlying conditions like eczema or dermatitis.
Is sensitive skin the same as an allergy?
No. Allergies involve an immune response, while sensitivity is usually linked to barrier weakness or irritation. We can help identify the difference.
Can sensitive skin be cured?
Sensitivity can be significantly improved with the right treatments and skincare routine. Many clients see long-term changes once their barrier is restored.
Which ingredients should sensitive skin avoid?
Harsh exfoliants, strong fragrances and drying alcohols. We’ll guide you on how to build a soothing routine.
Are treatments safe for highly reactive skin?
Yes. We use gentle, non-irritating approaches and adapt everything to your tolerance level.
