Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin is defined by an exaggerated neurosensory and immune response to stimuli that are typically well tolerated. This heightened reactivity arises from impaired barrier function, cutaneous nerve hyperresponsiveness, and low-grade inflammation, often exacerbated by microbiome disruption. The result is a persistent state of discomfort, redness, and reduced skin tolerance, even in the absence of visible pathology.
AWvi addresses sensitive skin not by masking symptoms, but by restoring physiological thresholds across barrier, immune, and microbial systems. Each solution targets a key contributor to cutaneous hypersensitivity—internally and externally. This integrative strategy re-establishes resilience, modulates immune signalling, and calms neurosensory activation, allowing the skin to regain its ability to respond appropriately to environmental and topical exposures.

Targeted Mechanisms of Action
The Skin Biotic
CORE ESSENTIAL – Fundamental to restore or maintain physiological skin function
The Skin Biotic supports immune tolerance and neuroimmune balance by modulating the gut–skin axis. Its formulation—three proprietary Lactobacillus strains, a prebiotic, and bioavailable Retinol and D-Biotin—reduces systemic inflammatory priming and supports epithelial integrity.
Its primary actions include:
- Downregulation of inflammatory cytokines that exacerbate skin reactivity
- Modulation of neurosensory pathways through microbial-derived mediators
- Support of ceramide synthesis and lipid layer cohesion
- Restoration of regulatory immune balance to reduce hypersensitivity
By recalibrating systemic inflammatory tone and enhancing the epithelial barrier from within, The Skin Biotic strengthens the skin’s tolerance and reduces its reactivity threshold.
The Gentle Cleanser
CORE ESSENTIAL – Fundamental to restore or maintain physiological skin function
The Gentle Cleanser is designed to cleanse without eliciting irritation in skin with low tolerance. Its surfactant-free formulation, enriched with ectoin, biomimetic hyaluronic acid, and active waters, preserves the skin’s microbiome, structure, and neurosensory calm.
Key benefits include:
- Prevention of barrier disruption during cleansing, a frequent trigger in sensitive skin
- Maintenance of pH and microbial balance, supporting immune and sensory stability
- Osmoprotective action of ectoin to buffer cellular stress responses
- Hydration support to improve skin comfort and reduce sensory flare-ups
For sensitive skin, cleansing is a critical therapeutic step. This formulation ensures that cleansing actively supports resilience rather than becoming a source of aggravation.
The Active Cream
CORE ESSENTIAL – Fundamental to restore or maintain physiological skin function
The Active Cream provides lasting support for sensitive skin through biomimetic hydration, lipid replenishment, and inflammation modulation. It contains triglycerides, broad-spectrum hyaluronic acid, and ectoin to restore both structure and function.
Key mechanisms include:
- Restoration of intercellular lipids to reinforce the skin's barrier against triggers
- Reduction of chronic, low-grade inflammation that sensitises nerve endings
- Support of microbiome diversity to promote immune tolerance
- Deep hydration that reduces sensory discomfort and prevents flare recurrence
This formulation is particularly suited for daily use in individuals with reactive, intolerant, or hypersensitive skin, ensuring long-term comfort and functional recovery.
