How will you know if you’re reacting to a product?Updated a year ago
So how will you know if you’re reacting to a product? Here are the key symptoms of contact dermatitis, which is the kind of reaction you’ll have if you’re allergic or sensitive to a skincare product:
- Redness - it might be spread out in cases of allergic contact dermatitis, or more localized to the patch test area in cases of irritant contact dermatitis.
- Itchiness, especially in cases of allergic reactions.
- Scaling or flakiness, which may develop into crustiness or oozing if particularly severe.
- Tenderness, burning, or a stinging sensation
- Swelling or hives
