Radiotherapy Care for Sensitive, Irritated Skin

Gentle, clinically guided skincare designed to soothe, comfort and protect skin during and after radiotherapy.

When Skin Feels More Sensitive Than Usual

Radiotherapy can leave skin feeling different — more delicate, more reactive, and often harder to care for.

What once felt like a simple routine may suddenly feel uncomfortable. Skin can become dry, tight or easily irritated, and even products you used before may no longer feel right.

During this time, many people are simply looking for something that feels gentle, calming and easy to trust.

Why Radiotherapy-Affected Skin Needs Special Care

Radiotherapy can temporarily affect how the skin behaves, making it more sensitive, more reactive and less able to retain moisture.

In some cases, this may lead to what is commonly known as radiodermatitis, a form of skin irritation caused by radiation treatment. It can appear as dryness, redness, tightness or increased sensitivity in the treated area.

As a result, skin may feel drier, tighter and more easily irritated than usual. This is why routines that worked before don’t always feel comfortable anymore.

During this time, the focus should shift from complex skincare to something much simpler, gentle formulas that help support comfort, hydration and overall skin balance.

A Simpler, Gentler Approach to Skincare

When skin becomes more sensitive, it’s essential to use the appropiate products.

At Alomar, our approach is based on simplicity, tolerance and comfort. Instead of complex routines, we focus on gentle, clinically guided formulas designed to support skin when it feels more reactive and delicate.

Our products are developed with extremely sensitive skin in mind, using carefully selected ingredients that help soothe, hydrate and protect without overwhelming the skin.

Carefully Selected Ingredients for Sensitive Skin

Our formulas are designed around a small number of carefully chosen ingredients, selected for their ability to soothe, hydrate and support sensitive skin without unnecessary complexity.

These ingredients create simple, gentle formulas designed to support skin when it feels at its most sensitive.

The Recommended Product for Radiotherapy Care

Superderm

A gentle, clinically guided formula designed to soothe, hydrate and support extremely sensitive skin.

  • Helps calm dry, irritated or sensitive skin
  • Provides lasting hydration without feeling heavy
  • Supports the skin barrier during periods of sensitivity
  • Improves skin elasticity
  • Developed in conjunction with leading cancer hospital

Created for skin that needs comfort rather than complexity, Superderm fits easily into a gentle daily routine,  especially when skin feels more delicate than usual.

Targeted Care for Radiodermatitis

In some cases, radiotherapy can lead to more noticeable skin irritation, often referred to as radiodermatitis.

When skin feels particularly sensitive, dry or uncomfortable, a more targeted approach may help provide additional relief.

Pure Aloe Vera Gel

A lightweight, fast-absorbing gel designed to help soothe and refresh skin when it feels especially irritated or delicate.

  • Provides a cooling, soothing sensation
  • Helps hydrate and calm sensitive skin
  • Lightweight texture, ideal for more reactive areas
  • Can be used alongside a simple daily routine

While creams like Superderm help support daily hydration and comfort, a gel texture can be a useful complement when skin feels warmer, tighter or more reactive.

A Gentle Routine During Radiotherapy

During radiotherapy, skin often becomes more delicate and reactive.
A simple, consistent routine focused on comfort and hydration is usually the best approach.

01. Keep Cleansing Minimal

Use lukewarm water and avoid over-washing or harsh products. Skin may be more sensitive than usual.

02. Apply Superderm Gently

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin, focusing on areas that feel dry, tight or uncomfortable.

03. Use Aloe Vera Gel When Needed

If your skin feels warmer, tighter or more irritated, a lightweight gel can provide a soothing and refreshing effect.

04. Reapply When Needed

Skin may feel drier throughout the day. Reapply as needed to maintain comfort and hydration.

05. Avoid Unnecessary Products

Keeping your routine simple can help reduce irritation and make skincare more comfortable during treatment.

During radiotherapy, gentle and consistent care often makes the biggest difference in how skin feels day to day.

(Always follow the guidance of your medical team when caring for your skin during radiotherapy.)
