Basic creams for sensitive skin

Sensitive skin reacts quickly: minor irritants such as temperature changes, fragrance or friction can cause redness, tightness or burning. For these skin types, neutral, fragrance-free basic creams are ideal: they support recovery, retain moisture and protect without additional irritation.

In our range of basic creams for sensitive skin, you will find gentle formulas such as Cetomacrogol cream with 10% petrolatum (and glycerine) and lanette creams with 10-20% petrolatum. Below you will read why these creams are so popular with sensitive skin types and how to use them optimally.

Cetomacrogol cream (with 10% petrolatum and glycerine)

Cetomacrogol cream combines petrolatum, paraffin and cetomacrogols (such as PEG ingredients) with humectants such as glycerine. This cream supports the skin by forming a protective layer without being heavy or irritating. The addition of glycerine attracts moisture and provides softening.

  • Protects the skin barrier against dehydration
  • Provides a mild, soothing effect
  • Suitable for daily use on sensitive skin

Lanette cream (with 10% or 20% petrolatum)

Lanette cream is a classic basic cream in which petrolatum and paraffin are combined with lanette-like structuring elements. At Fagron, variants are available with 10% or 20% petrolatum — enough to protect the skin without feeling heavy or greasy. These creams are particularly suitable for sensitive skin areas such as the face, neck or hands.

  • Hydrates without irritating
  • Neutral formula, safe for sensitive skin types
  • Good basic care for daily use

Usage tips for sensitive skin

Apply the cream to cleansed, dry skin. Use a small amount and massage in gently. Avoid friction or harsh movements. Ideally, use the cream twice a day, or more often if the skin feels tight. If you react to other products, you can use this basic cream as a neutral base layer.
