Quick answer
Most people who call their skin sensitive have a damaged barrier instead — which is good news, because that is fixable in weeks.

Shop products for sensitive skin →Two different things
True sensitivity is consistent and lifelong — you have always reacted to fragrance, wool, heat. A damaged barrier is acquired: skin that used to tolerate everything suddenly stings. The second is far more common, and it repairs.
1. Work out which one you have
If products you used happily for years now sting, that is a barrier problem, not sensitivity.
2. Strip the routine back
Cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen only, for two to four weeks.
3. Patch-test properly
Inner forearm, twice daily, for five days before putting anything new on your face.
4. Add fragrance-free where you can
Fragrance is the single most common avoidable irritant.
5. Reintroduce one product at a time
Two weeks apart. Introducing two at once tells you nothing.
What "hypoallergenic" actually means
Nothing standardised. It is a marketing term with no legal definition in most markets — read the ingredient list instead.

Frequently asked questions
What should sensitive skin avoid during Bangladesh's hot, sweaty months?
Avoid heavy, strongly fragranced products that can mix with sweat and increase irritation in hot weather. Stick to lightweight, fragrance-free formulas and rinse your face promptly after heavy sweating.
Where can I buy authentic fragrance-free products for sensitive skin in Bangladesh?
Buy from a seller who can show the import invoice and batch number for the product. TheSkinProof is an invoice-verified skincare marketplace where fragrance-free, sensitive-skin products are checked against that paperwork before being listed.
How should I reintroduce products after sensitive skin has recovered?
Add one new product at a time, starting with something gentle like a simple serum, and wait a couple of weeks before adding anything else. Watch your skin's reaction for a few days after each new addition.
