Definition of Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin is defined as a sensory reaction that can be triggered by various internal and/or external factors and is characterized by a hyper-reactive state of the skin. The sensations described vary greatly from person to person. Itching, burning, tingling, tightness, redness, flaking, skin dryness, or dilated blood vessels are among the most common complaints. Very high or very low temperatures, humidity, wind, heat, pollution, and sun exposure are factors that favor skin hypersensitivity.
Impact of Oncology Treatments on Skin
During oncology treatments, to a greater or lesser extent, the skin and cutaneous appendages (hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, and nails) may undergo changes. The skin may become sensitive, dry, rough to the touch, or cracked, especially in areas of greater friction, and may feel itchy. The skin microbiota, which is the set of beneficial microorganisms that inhabit it and its surrounding environment, also undergoes changes.
Microbiota and Dysbiosis
Dysbiosis (imbalance of the microbiota) is often recognized as a cause of skin conditions, such as sensitive skin, acne, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, rosacea, or skin cancer.
Taking care of the skin with cosmetic products improves quality of life, preserves physical, psychological, and social well-being, and also serves as a strong incentive to boost the self-esteem of those experiencing these changes. Therefore, it is important to adapt the products we use to the needs of our skin, particularly in terms of hygiene, protection, hydration, and nutrition.
The MICROBIOME Range
MICROBIOME is a complete range of face and body care products exclusively from RVB LAB laboratories. This line was developed to preserve the balance of the cutaneous ecosystem, strengthen the barrier function, reduce irritation and dehydration phenomena, and prevent aging processes. For these reasons, it is suitable for all skin types, maintaining and preserving its quality. Thanks to its extremely delicate formulations with skin-like properties, this range is ideal for sensitive and sensitized skin.
But what makes this range so effective?
MICROBIOME combines the hydrating and anti-aging properties of the HYALU SMART™ PGA complex, which maximizes the action of hyaluronic acid and prevents its degradation, with the active ingredient REVIBIOME SYSTEM.
The REVIBIOME SYSTEM is a triple defense line developed to balance the skin's microbiota. It is composed of:
- Prebiotics (food for the skin's microbiota)
- Lyophilized Probiotics (such as Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus acidophilus)
- Microbiome Boosters (substances that rebalance the microbiota composition, reactivating its metabolism)
The range includes cleansing products, daily essentials, specific care, and body care, whose effectiveness on the skin of oncology patients has been tested by the dermatology clinic of the Federico II University in Naples, Italy.
