What are dermocosmetics?
Dermocosmetics are skincare products made for sensitive and problem-prone skin. Many are developed with dermatologists and tested on reactive skin, and they're sold mainly in European pharmacies. Expect short ingredient lists, well-studied actives, and often fragrance-free formulas that put skin comfort first.

A simple dermo routine
Sensitive skin does best with few steps, used consistently:
- Cleanse gently with micellar water, a cleansing gel or a cream wash. Dermo cleansers
- Treat with one targeted serum, if you need one. Dermo serums
- Moisturise with a cream that fits your skin type. Dermo moisturizers
- Protect with SPF 30–50+ every morning. Dermo sunscreen
Introduce one new product at a time and give it 2–4 weeks before you judge it. That way you can tell what is working.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between dermocosmetics and regular skincare?
Dermocosmetics focus on skin tolerance and specific skin needs, such as sensitivity, dryness or blemishes. They're often tested on sensitive skin and sold through pharmacies, whereas regular skincare tends to focus more on texture, scent and experience.
Are dermocosmetics fragrance-free?
Many are, but not all. If your skin reacts to fragrance, look for "fragrance-free" or "sans parfum" in the product description.
Can I use dermocosmetics if I don't have sensitive skin?
Yes. Gentle, effective formulas suit most skin types and are a good, safe base for any routine.
Are the products authentic?
Yes. All products at LUXX COSMETIC are 100% authentic and sourced from authorised European distributors.
