Frequently Asked Questions

Can I improve skin firmness if I have sensitive skin?


Yes. The key is to choose gentle, barrier-supportive treatments with ingredients that stimulate collagen and elastin without causing irritation, such as peptides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide.

What causes loss of firmness and elasticity?


As we age, collagen and elastin production naturally decline, and the skin barrier weakens. For sensitive skin, inflammation, environmental damage, and barrier impairment can speed up this process, leading to sagging, reduced bounce, and visible ageing.

Which ingredients should I look for in a firming cream for sensitive skin?


Peptides, hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate, niacinamide, vitamins A, E, and B5, and antioxidant-rich botanical extracts like jojoba oil, glycine soja protein, and carnosine are all beneficial. These help hydrate, protect, and rebuild skin structure while calming sensitivity.

How long does it take to see results from a firming routine?


With consistent use, many people notice improved hydration and plumpness within 2–4 weeks, while visible improvements in firmness and elasticity can take 8–12 weeks.

Will firming products make my sensitive skin react?


Not if you choose formulations designed for sensitive skin. Skin Virtue’s approach combines barrier-repair technology with collagen-supportive actives to ensure effectiveness without irritation.

How can I protect my skin’s firmness over time?


Maintain a consistent routine with hydrating and antioxidant-rich products, protect your skin from UV damage, and avoid harsh treatments that can compromise the barrier. Regular use of gentle, firming creams helps preserve elasticity and resilience.
