Fights against redness & stinging sensation
DEFENSIVE TECHNOLOGY acts on the causes of sensitive skin and prevents sensitivity induced by environment and lifestyle.
Sensibio Defensive Rich limits oxidative stress thanks to Defensive technology(2). In vitro test, realized on reconstructed epidermis exposed to UVA rays and pollution, showed that Defensive technology offers +75% of antioxidant protection compared to the non-treated stressed reconstructed epidermis.
DEFENSIVE TECHNOLOGY integrates Red Sage polyphenols (Salvia miltiorrhiza extract) which limits the hyper-reactivity of the skin and limits the cutaneous inflammation induced by aggressions.
Sensibio Defensive RICH:
- significantly decreases the cutaneous microcirculation of 20%** after mechanical erythema induced by stripping vs untreated area(5)
- Immediately after use, it decreases the cutaneous temperature by -1.4°C within 3 minutes after application(4),
- significantly decreases the intensity of stinging sensation of 44%** after capsaicin application(6) which characterizes an immediate refreshing and soothing efficacy.
After 28 days of use, twice daily, it significantly improves the cutaneous reactivity to capsaicin of 58%***.(6) Their skin is more comfortable and soothed(7)
Fights against dryness
Sensibio Defensive significantly moisturizes the skin as soon as in 30 minutes (level of hydration +157%**) and lastingly (level of hydration +43%** after 12 hours)(1)
It induces a significant decreased in Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) of -21%**(3) after 28 days of application which results in reinforcement of skin barrier function and its protection against environmental stress.
Quality of life & tolerance
After 28 days of use, Sensibio Defensive significantly improves quality of life by inducing a significant decrease in the average of BoSS score(a) of 15.1%* and demonstrates a positive impact on skin sensitivity(8)
Demonstrates very high cutaneous tolerance on sensitive and reactive skin(7,8,9)
(a) BoSS (Burden of Sensitive Skin) questionnaire is a reliable tool developed to self-assess skin sensitivity and may be an efficient method for screening patients and evaluation of specific cares efficacy. It is made up of 14 questions (Misery et al. 2018 – PMID: 30022546)

> Patients feedbacks
After 28 days of use twice a day, more that 90% of patients with sensitive & reactive dry to very dry face skin thought that:
- their skin feels immediately protected, comfortable, soothed & moisturized(7)
- their skin is nourished, soothed, less sensitive and reactive(7) but also more resistant and protected against aggressions(7)
For more than 88% of subject, Sensibio Defensive Rich improves self-confidence, quality of life, skin’s sensitivity has less impact on daily life and is under control(7).
For more than 91% of subject, texture is rich, enveloping, and pleasant and the product penetrates quickly(7).
