Help visibly reduce sensitivity with a nighttime skincare routine

While we have several products that can reduce the look of sensitivity and can be used morning and night, we'll concentrate on the nighttime routine here.

Clean skin is at the crux of any skincare regimen. Start your nighttime skincare routine by removing your makeup with Take The Day Off™ Cleansing Balm. It helps dissolve the day from your face, even long-wearing makeup, SPF, and pollutants.

Dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested, it helps remove potential irritants while also being safe for sensitive skin and sensitive eyes. It contains safflower oil that helps break up the hard-to-remove cosmetics, along with linoleic acid, a natural emollient that conditions skin and even your lashes and brows.

How to use: Massage balm over your skin, even your eyes. Rinse well with warm water, then pat dry. Proceed with your favorite Clinique cleanser.

Follow up with Redness Solutions Soothing Cleanser With Probiotic Technology to help remove any last bits of makeup and impurities. It’s appropriate for skin with rosacea, too.

How to use: Lather product between hands using warm water and apply over face and neck. Rinse and pat dry.

Other options:

Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam: A velvety-soft foam that’s suitable for sensitive skin.

With the right moisturizer, red, irritated skin can look noticeably calmer. Formulated to help reduce the appearance of redness, Redness Solutions Daily Relief Cream helps visibly minimize redness as it hydrates. In fact, 100% had a visible reduction in redness in just 2.5 hours.^* This moisturizer is also free of fragrance, parabens, phthalates, and drying alcohol, and it’s suitable for sensitive skin.

How to use: Use morning and night after cleansing. Apply over makeup-free skin, being sure to avoid the eye area.

Other options:

Moisture Surge™ 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator: Helps reduce dryness and strengthen skin’s barrier. A weaker barrier makes skin more susceptible to external factors, which makes it more prone to sensitivity. This dermatologist-tested formula contains aloe bioferment and hyaluronic acid to help hydrate skin and an antioxidant blend of vitamins C and E; in fact, your skin will feel soothed and look radiant instantly. Our moisturizer has impressive results: In just one week of use, 98% of test participants say their skin feels more resilient while 95% say their skin feels healthier,^** and it's also safe for sensitive skin.

You can purchase any of the Redness Solutions products separately or as part of our Redness Solutions Redness Regimen, which also includes Redness Solutions Daily Protective Base Broad Spectrum SPF 15 to help protect against UV rays that can trigger sensitivity.

Did you know that sensitivity rises at night? That's why it's important to address that sensitivity while also taking advantage of skin’s natural repair while you get your beauty sleep. Clinique Smart Clinical Repair™ Overnight Recovery Cream + Mask works through the night to help your skin look and feel calmer by morning.

This dermatologist-tested anti-aging overnight cream and mask helps visibly reduce the appearance of sensitivity while being gentle enough for sensitive skin. It contains peptides to help smooth your skin, hyaluronic acid to help hydrate it, and adenosine to help minimize the look of sensitivity. It also plumps and visibly reduces fine, dry lines, and you’ll wake up to skin that looks soothed, smoother, and more radiant.

How to use: Apply to face and neck at night. Use it simply as a face cream or apply a thicker layer for a leave-on mask, as needed.

And when it's time to take your nighttime routine into your daytime routine, don't forget to add sun protection like Redness Solutions Daily Protective Base Broad Spectrum SPF 15, which helps protect against UV rays that can trigger sensitivity.
