Sensitive skin is usually prone to redness, dryness, and the general feeling that one's face is too tight. Because of this, strong active skincare ingredients like retinol can be less helpful for people with sensitive skin. Retinol is used to help clear acne and lessen the signs of ageing, which is great, but it tends to be too harsh for sensitive skin, causing redness, flare-ups and dryness.
Tribe Skincare is creating natural skincare products for sensitive skin, which is a lifesaver in a world where everyone is using and recommending products with strong active ingredients.
Tribe Skincare’s new Firm & Smooth Serum uses a retinol alternative known as bakuchiol, which is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving overall skin texture. The serum also contains vitamin C, which helps to brighten and even the skin tone.
If you have sensitive skin and are looking to change up your skincare routine, but don’t want to throw out your whole beauty cabinet, Tribe Skincare has trial kits that include a travel-size cleanser, exfoliant, serum and moisturiser. There’s one for anti-ageing, oily and combination skin, and of course, one for normal/dry and sensitive skin.

If you’re ready to dive in face-first and build a whole new skincare routine using Tribe Skincare products, here are some of our favourite products.
You’ll want to start with a cleanser, and Tribe Skincare’s Gentle Balm Cleanser removes makeup and impurities without leaving your skin feeling dry and tight. Next up is a toner. The Toning 2-in-1 Hydration Spritz can be used under serum and moisturiser to soothe skin, or over makeup as a setting spray for a dewy finish.
After toning, you’ll want to use a serum to pump some nourishing ingredients into your skin. We love the brand new Firm & Smooth Serum. After that, pop on a moisturiser to keep your skin feeling hydrated all day. The Ultimate Hydrating Moisturiser contains hyaluronic acid and aloe vera to keep your skin hydrated and soothed.
Finally, any good morning skincare routine ends with SPF to protect your skin.
