While it’s a given that sensitive skin would react to almost any irritant—be it dust, heat, or certain beauty products and fragrance—didn’t you notice that these days, even those with normal skin sometimes suffer from rashes or itchiness?

With pollution and heat becoming worse anyone can be susceptible to skin irritation and inflammations. The rapid and rather unpredictable changes in weather that we are currently experiencing also contribute to weakening our skin. And we haven’t even factored in stress, which adversely affects our skin condition. This is why we need to strengthen our skin, to make it more resilient to external aggressors. This is the idea behind Clinique’s latest product, Comfort on Call Allergy Tested Relief Cream (P2,500), which is now available in the Philippines. 

“Aware of the changes in the environment, we wanted to create a product that would not only assist in helping reactive skin, but would allow skin to naturally adapt and adjust to fluctuations in weather and humidity. We incorporated a water-binding protein that improves and rebalances moisture in the skin, building a stronger, more resilient skin barrier, better able to protect against both extreme weather conditions and harmful external airborne particles,” says Dr. Tom Mammone, Executive Director of Clinique Research and Development.

Designed for people whose skin reacts easily, Comfort on Call Allergy Tested Relief Cream enhances skin’s ability to protect itself against external irritants such as pollutants and airborne particles. The ultra-moisturizing cream contains ingredients that help calm irritated skin, such as the rare Citrus Jabara Fruit Extract, the heart of Clinique’s unique Enviro-Soothe Complex, plus potent anti-irritants Mangosteen and Glycyrrhetinic Acid (licorice extract).

Anyone with sensitive skin should equip themselves with Comfort on Call. I was immediately intrigued when I heard of this product, primarily because my skin is so prone to rashes, especially when I try on a new fragrance. I found that it quickly soothes irritated skin, and it supposedly even reduces redness, inflammation, and itchiness of insect bites! Have this on your bedside table or office desk so you immediately have access to something that would soothe the itchiness without having to take that trip to the pharmacy.

Aside from this immediate effect, it also helps reduce skin’s reactivity and instances of cracked, flaky, or rough skin, improving skin’s texture and condition with continued use over time. 

To use, just apply a small amount of this luxuriously rich cream-balm moisturizer, particularly on irritated areas, morning and night after Clinique’s customized 3-Step Skin Care System, or use as needed. Avoid immediate eye area.

Clinique Comfort on Call Allergy Tested Relief Cream is now available in Clinique counters in Rustan’s Department Store and Essences.
