Can I use the products if I have perioral dermatitis?Updated 3 hours ago

Perioral dermatitis is no obstacle to using our products. In fact, our founder, Stine Ankerstjerne, has herself had perioral dermatitis for many years.

For some people, the condition may flare up as a reaction to external influences, for example at seasonal changes or when the skin is exposed to new products. The skin is a living organ that takes about six weeks to adjust to a new skincare routine. It is therefore not unusual to experience patches, dryness or flaking for a short period when the skin is introduced to new products and needs to adapt to a new routine.

With perioral dermatitis, it is often the richer and heavier products that can worsen the condition. We therefore recommend light products such as SUPERFOOD multipurpose vitamin face gel or ANTI-POLLUTION day cream for people with this skin condition. A gradual introduction is a good idea, especially for those with sensitive skin. For example, you can start by using the products every other day for a period, then switch to daily use, and finally use them both morning and evening.
