KEY ACTIVES
5% Panthenol
Panthenol at 5% has been clinically studied to increase skin hydration, reduce transepidermal water loss, and support recovery of compromised barrier function. It also helps improve skin softness and comfort while reducing visible signs of irritation associated with dryness, environmental exposure, and barrier disruption.
2% Ectoin
Ectoin at 2% has been clinically studied to increase hydration, strengthen barrier function, and improve visible signs of sensitivity in compromised skin. As a protective extremolyte, it helps stabilize cellular structures under environmental stress and supports skin during periods of irritation, dehydration, and heightened reactivity.
2% Betaine + 2% Glyceryl Glucoside + Prebiotics
Betaine supports cellular water balance and skin comfort as an osmolyte, while glyceryl glucoside supports epidermal hydration pathways associated with aquaporin-3 activity. Alpha-glucan oligosaccharide and inulin provide prebiotic support for the skin-surface microbiome, helping maintain a more balanced environment for resilient, comfortable skin.
0.05% Lipochroman®
Lipochroman® is a broad-spectrum antioxidant designed to neutralize oxygen-, nitrogen-, and carbon-centered reactive species while helping limit lipid peroxidation. In reactive skin, this matters because oxidative stress can contribute downstream to barrier disruption, inflammatory signaling, and heightened sensitivity. Lipochroman® helps defend the skin against this upstream oxidative stress before it translates into visible irritation and reactivity.
200 ppm Rice-Derived PDRN + 10 ppm Neuro-Calming Peptides
Rice-derived PDRN supports skin recovery and helps calm irritation-associated signaling in stressed skin, while neuro-calming peptides target pathways associated with visible redness and heightened skin reactivity. Together, they complement the formula's barrier and antioxidant systems to support calmer, more resilient-looking skin.
FAQ
Fungal Acne & Acne compatibility
Every Authentic Ego formula is screened through our proprietary Reactive Fit Framework™ which evaluates ingredients across five distinct pathways.
We do not rely on outdated comedogenicity ratings derived from 1970's animal tests. Our malassezia compatibility is determined by objective parameters that identify ingredients potentially capable of feeding malassezia yeast.
Rosacea- & eczema-prone skin
We exceed the Rosacea Society and National Eczema Organization's formulation guidelines for all our products. We exclude all essential oils, fragrances, sensitizing preservatives like phenoxyethanol, and niacinamide, butylene and propylene glycols, alcohol, and cross-reactive whole plant extracts in every formulation.
Individuals with active rosacea or eczema flares are always recommended to patch test products before proceeding to full-face application. Never apply products on broken skin.

Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Super Sensa does not contain any ingredients explicitly contraindicated in pregnancy. However, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, before starting the use of any new product, please consult a qualified healthcare provider.
Retinoid compatibility
Super Sensa is designed to soothe and support your skin barrier in your retinoid routine. You may apply it prior to your retinoid application to buffer irritation and peeling or afterwards once your skin has adjusted to your retinoid routine. Always follow your prescriber's advice with prescription retinoids.
Isotretinoin compatibility
During isotretinoin, we recommend prioritizing gentle cleansing and barrier support. Super Sensa can be used multiple times daily if tolerated. We recommend a gentle, non-foaming cleanser like Mellow Jelly. Always follow your prescriber's recommendations.
Azelaic acid compatibility
If using prescription Azelaic acid apply on bare dry skin and then apply Super Sensa immediately on top. If using azelaic acid derivatives you may apply Super Sensa immediately after their application.
