Which skin condition is fragile, reactive, and easily inflamed?

  1. Combination Skin

  2. Dehydrated Skin

  3. Normal Skin

  4. Sensitive Skin

The correct answer is: Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is characterized by being fragile, reactive, and easily inflamed. Sensitive skin often reacts to various skincare products, environmental factors, and even stress. This type of skin requires gentle and soothing ingredients to prevent irritation and inflammation. In contrast, combination skin is a mix of oily and dry areas, dehydrated skin lacks water content, and normal skin is well-balanced without any particular sensitivities or concerns.
