When should you use this UltraSensible product for combination skin?
Eucerin UltraSensible Soothing Cream for Normal to Combination Skin is a facial cream designed for hypersensitive skin that isn’t lacking in lipids—skin that reddens, feels hot, or tingles at the slightest change, without feeling tight. Its simple, fragrance-free, and alcohol-free formula combines squalane, glycerin, and the active ingredient SymSitive in a lightweight texture, making it one of the best creams for combination skin suited for those whose skin can no longer tolerate overly rich products.
Its primary purpose is to provide comfort to reactive skin. Applied after cleansing, it soothes feelings of irritation and reduces the appearance of redness. With continued use, the treatment restores skin comfort, resulting in a radiant complexion.
The active ingredient SymSitive acts as a sensitivity regulator to reduce skin hyperreactivity. Its lightweight texture absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky film: it works just as well on the T-zone, which tends to get shiny quickly, as it does on the cheeks, which are often more reactive. Its excellent tolerability has been tested on hypersensitive skin.
It’s ideal whenever the skin becomes more reactive—due to temperature fluctuations in the fall, wind and cold, dry air from heating, hard water, or returning from vacation. It also serves as a daily skincare staple for skin that remains sensitive year-round without needing a nourishing cream.
Skin comfort begins with cleansing. For this, we recommend the Jonzac Réactive Control Cleansing Milk: fragrance-free, it gently removes makeup and cleanses the face without rubbing. The skin feels comfortable right from the first step of your routine, and the soothing treatment is then applied to clean skin.

Precautions
- For external use only.
- Avoid direct contact with the eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Apply to healthy skin: do not use on open wounds, broken or weeping skin, or on an area that has recently undergone a dermatological procedure (such as a peel or laser treatment) without consulting the professional who performed the procedure.
- If you have hypersensitive skin, first test the product on a small area—such as under the jaw—for a few days before applying it to your entire face.
- If tingling persists, or if redness, swelling, or itching occurs after application, discontinue use and rinse the area with clean water.
- Do not use if you have a known allergy to any of the ingredients.
- If redness develops on the cheeks, nose, or chin, if small blood vessels become visible, or if you experience a burning sensation or breakouts that occur in episodes, consult a doctor or dermatologist: these symptoms may indicate a skin condition, such as rosacea, that requires a diagnosis.
- This product is not intended for use in children: for children, consult your pharmacist or doctor.

Our expert advice on Eucerin UltraSensible Soothing Care
Combination and hypersensitive skin often requires two separate routines: purifying or mattifying products for the T-zone, and a gentle treatment for the cheeks. However, it’s the alcohol-based toners, scrubs, and drying masks used on the T-zone that actually fuel sensitivity across the entire face. At the counter, we recommend setting those aside and applying this treatment to the entire face: a thin layer on the T-zone, a little more on areas prone to redness.
Stick to this simplified routine for three to four weeks before evaluating the results, then reintroduce one product at a time if you wish. This is the only way to identify which product is causing the skin reaction. If discomfort persists despite this, there’s no need to add a cream: it’s time to consult a professional.
