South Beach Skin Lab for Sensitive Skin: Is It Safe?

Sensitivity Scorecard

✅ Pass

No added fragrance or parfum — the #1 irritant in skincare.

✅ Pass

Retinol is effective but notorious for causing peeling and redness in sensitive skin. This formula uses peptides instead.

✅ Pass

No glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acid — no acid-induced sensitisation.

✅ Pass

Bioidentical to the skin's own lipid, making it one of the least reactive moisturising bases available.

⚠️ Caution

Coconut oil is well-tolerated by most, but can trigger breakouts in acne-prone individuals. Patch-test first.

Patch-test on the inner wrist for 48 hours before applying to the face.
Start with once-daily application (PM only) for the first week.
Pair with a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser — avoid foaming sulphate washes.
Layer SPF 30+ in the morning; peptides do not cause photosensitivity, but sun protection is always essential.
