Does your go-to skincare suddenly leave your skin stinging or burning? Or noticed unexpected redness, tightness, or breakouts? If so, you're not alone — and it's likely a sign of a damaged skin barrier
It’s a growing concern among skincare users in Pakistan, especially with the surge in active ingredients like AHAs, BHAs, and retinoids. If your skin reacts with stinging or redness, it’s a clear sign your skincare needs rethinking.
From causes to symptoms and the best way to heal it, here’s your guide to repairing a damaged skin barrier with calm, effective skincare.

- Discomfort or sensitivity when using your go-to skincare routine
- Skin that appears consistently red, flaky, or dehydrated
- Moisturizer doesn’t seem to absorb or relieve tightness
- Increased breakouts and sensitivity
