Bioderm
The Farmoderm line dedicated to sensitive and fragile skin
Sensitive skin is an increasingly common, often underestimated condition that can accompany a person from birth or occur throughout life due to external factors, clinical conditions or acquired skin fragility.
Bioderm is the Farmoderm line developed to meet the needs of sensitive, fragile and reactive skin, with dermatologically designed formulations to prevent, protect and support the skin in everyday life.
Sensitive skin: what we are talking about
A common condition, not a diagnosis
The term sensitive skin identifies skin that is more prone to inflammatory or irritative reactions, even in the absence of a specific pathology.
It may be:
- a hereditary trait
- a fragilized skin over time
- extremely dry or compromised skin
Sensitive skin reacts more readily to physical and chemical agents, manifesting redness, itching, burning or sensations of discomfort.
Factors that alter the skin barrier
When the skin becomes more vulnerable
Even initially normal skin can become sensitive over time. Major triggers include:
- sun exposure
intense wind - very low or very high temperatures
- friction with clothing
- use of aggressive cosmetics
The impairment of the skin barrier makes the skin less protected and more reactive to external stimuli.
Most common symptoms and issues
Sensitive or reactive skin may manifest as:
- localized or diffuse redness
- burning or tingling sensations
- persistent itching
- dryness and flakiness
- rashes or hives
In some cases, these manifestations are associated with specific dermatological conditions.
Contact dermatitis
Contact dermatitis occurs after direct contact with an irritant or allergenic substance.
The skin may appear reddened, swollen, itchy and, in severe cases, cracked or blistered.
Allergic reaction
Allergic dermatitis is a form of contact dermatitis caused by an immune response. Among the most common allergens:
- nickel
- perfumes
- latex
- dyes
- chemicals found in cosmetics and hair products
In the presence of persistent symptoms, dermatologic consultation is always recommended.
Dry skin
Dry skin tends to become more sensitive because it loses its protective hydrolipid film.
The most exposed areas are hands, face, and arms.
Proper cleansing and daily use of moisturizing products help prevent dryness and discomfort.
Eczema and rosacea
- Eczema (atopic dermatitis): characterized by dry, itchy patches
- Acne rosacea: persistent redness and visible capillaries, especially on the face
Both conditions require gentle cleansing and high-tolerance products.
Prevention and care of sensitive skin
Small daily gestures, big difference
Dermatological prevention is essential to reduce the occurrence of irritation, redness, and skin conditions.
It is important:
- avoid harsh ingredients and fragrances
- use products specifically for sensitive skin
- maintain skin hydration
- Protect areas subject to rubbing or pressure
Prevention is daily attention and makes a real contribution to a better quality of life.

Hand hygiene is critical in infection prevention in both educational and health care settings.

Proper hygiene helps protect the health of children, caregivers and families.
