Can Lancome be used on sensitive skin? Neither the pink water nor the little black bottle are suitable

Lancome is one of the more popular European and American skin care brands. Its pink water and little black bottle are both well-known. I believe everyone also wants to know if Lancome can be used on sensitive skin? Let’s take a look together.

Can Lancome be used on sensitive skin?

People with sensitive skin should use Lancome with caution, because most of Lancome's skin care products contain fragrances and preservatives. Long-term use will make sensitive skin's tolerance weaker and weaker. Even if some people do not feel uncomfortable using them now, their skin quality will deteriorate after long-term use. However, Lancome still has some products that are suitable for sensitive skin. You can first understand them clearly and buy samples for allergy testing before deciding whether to use Lancome.

Lancome is a product you can try for sensitive skin

Lancome Refreshing Water

Reference price: ¥320/200ml
Lancome's Pure Refreshing Toner does not contain alcohol, has a refreshing and non-greasy texture, is easily absorbed, relatively gentle, and has a low allergy rate. It is suitable for combination and sensitive skin. For extremely sensitive skin, it is recommended to try a small sample first. Glycerin ranks second in the ingredient list of this toner. Elderberry and rose flower water are added to condition the skin. It is a toner with moisturizing as its main effect and tender skin as its secondary effect.

Lancome Hydrating Essence

Reference price: ¥600/30ml
An essence specially designed for hydrating and locking in moisture. Its main ingredients are rose and jasmine essences. It can soothe, resist allergies, revitalize the skin, and increase the water content of the skin's stratum corneum. It can also be used when the skin is sensitive. This essence has a gel-like texture, is easily absorbed, has a particularly good moisturizing effect, and is not greasy at all. It can improve the problem of dryness and peeling in just one day and is suitable for young and mature skin.

Lancome is not suitable for sensitive skin

Lancome Pure Toner (Pink)

The famous Lancome Pink Water has too many fragrances. Too many fragrances can easily cause skin sensitivity and is not suitable for sensitive skin. The main ingredients are polysiloxane and moisturizing alcohol, and a small amount of oil is added, which can meet the needs of most skin types. The texture is sticky, but there is no noticeable greasy feeling when used. Pink water contains ingredients such as plant protein, yeast, vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, etc., but does not have any particularly outstanding moisturizing ingredients.

Lancome New Essence Essence (Little Black Bottle)

The Little Black Bottle is an essence with a refreshing texture. The so-called base lotion is just the manufacturer's promotion. It contains alcohol and fragrance and is not suitable for sensitive skin. The main ingredient of this product is the same as that of Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Solution, which uses bifida yeast product lysate as the active ingredient, so the effects of the two are similar. The texture is more refreshing than the Advanced Night Repair Solution and is more suitable for combination to oily skin.

Lancome's experience with sensitive skin

User experience 1

Products used: Lancome Pure Toner.
User skin type: slightly oily, slightly sensitive.
Not only did it sting, it was also pretty useless. I didn't feel it was very hydrating, and it even caused peeling in some areas. My skin is pretty tolerant and I've never been allergic to anything I've used, except for the pink water.

User experience 2

Products used: Lancome New Root Nourishing Beauty Essence.
User skin type: slightly dry, severely sensitive.
This water is relatively viscous, and I think it is very suitable for dry skin. I like this one more than the water one. Oily skin may feel it is a burden. And compared with the cream in the same series, this water is more worth buying!

User experience three

Products used: Lancome Skin Repair Essence.
User skin type: slightly dry, severely sensitive.
The texture is a little sticky, but it spreads well on the face. It doesn't have much effect. My face becomes a little dry and flaky in autumn and winter, and this doesn't provide any relief after using it. It rubs off easily.
