Healthy Skin Begins With A Strong Skin Barrier

Your skin barrier is your skin's very own shield, powered by three essential lipids: ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids. When it's in top form, it's like having a fortress protecting you from harmful irritants and allergens, and keeping your skin healthy with a plump, radiant glow.

Differences Between Sensitive Skin and Sensitised Skin

Sensitive Skin

✓ Skin type you're born with
✓ Naturally thin and delicate skin
✓ Often linked to eczema, psoriasis or rosacea
✓ Prone to allergies, asthma and blushing
✓ Easily reacts to internal and external triggers like stress and harsh weather conditions
✓ Needs ongoing care and attention

Sensitised Skin

✓ Temporary skin issue
✓ Caused by skin barrier damage
✓ Not linked to genetics
✓ Can affect any skin type
✓ Triggered by external irritants like harsh products, overwashing, etc.
✓ Usually goes away once the cause is removed

The soothing effect was instantaneous!

I use it on my face both in the morning and in the evening with good results. However, it’s not only my favorite. My daughter has extremely delicate skin and she is prone to eczema, with the constant washing and sanitizing her hands were so irritated in winter that she would run away whenever I tried to moisturizer them because all products were burning and just adding to the discomfort. Thankfully I came up with the idea of trying using Simply Better Barrier and the soothing effect was instantaneous! She actually reached for it spontaneously and it only took a few days to go from a red inflamed mess to well moisturized hands. I will always have a stash of this great little gem in my house.

My daughter's condition start to show major improvement!

My daughter had been experiencing bad eczema since birth and have tried many brands of cream and moisturiser. But none of them really work. Finally found one that really work well on her! After a couple of weeks of applying cream from Kansoskin on her, I can see my daughter's condition start to show major improvement! Thank you founders of Kansoskin!

Lightweight and doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky.

I love the properties of this as it can help with my eczema and also serve as a make up base. The cream is super lightweight and doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky. Love how it is fragrance free so i can use it on my child's dry skin too!

Leaves skin moisturised for hours.

Loved this moisturiser upon first use! Don’t usually say this about other moisturisers as I’ve trialed and tested all on the market, this is a wonder. Leaves skin moisturised for hours, I use it overnight and slept with the AC on. Skin was still smooth and moisturised the next morning.

Immediate relief on the itch.

Love the cream texture as it is not oily and easily absorbed. The other day, I had some rashes on my body, and it was very itchy. I applied some of the cream on the rashes, and it was immediate relief on the itch.

Feels soft and gentle on the skin.

The cream feels soft and gentle on the skin with immediate relief from the itching on my affected area(leg). The lotion is miosturizing to my skin and there is no greasy feeling. After a couple of days my legs were healed and soft with no itch. A recommended product. Thank you for providing a quality product that provides relief and healthy skin.
