Sensitive skin, or “sensitive skin syndrome”, or “hypersensitivity” of the skin - this is how experts interpret the inadequate reaction of the skin to external or internal stimuli, which is manifested by subjective and objective symptoms reflecting the development of inflammation in the skin. Thus, hypersensitivity can be defined as a hyperergic response to common stimuli that are not normally considered triggers. However, hypersensitivity is not a permanent skin condition and does not determine its type.

This problem can occur in any skin type, both in healthy people and in patients with a burdened dermatological history.
