Sensitive Skin

While Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is the gold standard for sleep apnoea treatment, the materials resting against your face all night can sometimes cause skin complications. Standard medical-grade silicone is highly effective for sealing, but for patients with sensitive skin, contact allergies, or dermatological conditions like rosacea and eczema, it can trap sweat and oils. This frequently leads to friction blisters, red pressure grooves on the nasal bridge, and painful skin breakdown. Our Sensitive Skin collection showcases alternative cushion technologies and physical barriers designed to keep your skin perfectly healthy without causing air leaks.

This collection introduces several clinical breakthroughs in contact comfort. A prime example is the ResMed AirTouch N20, which swaps traditional silicone for a patented UltraSoft™ memory foam cushion. This breathable, adaptable foam gently conforms to the unique contours of your face, distributing pressure evenly across the skin and significantly reducing friction. For individuals suffering from concentrated pressure sores across the nasal bridge, accessories like the ResMed Nose Protector provide a soft, protective buffer layer. Additionally, masks like the Löwenstein CARA family feature lightweight, OEKO-TEX standard fabric headgear that pulls moisture away from the skin, preventing sweat rashes and red marks around the cheeks and neck.
