The best skin care products for sensitive skin

Sensitive skin is difficult because you cannot always determine the problem with a clinical diagnosis. Like the National Institute of Health reported: “It has not yet been possible to establish objective screening tests for the diagnosis of sensitive skin.” Many people (myself included) claim to have sensitive skin, but the culprit can be difficult to pinpoint. Perhaps you are prone to inflammation, rosacea or ezcema, or perhaps certain products or pollutants aggravate your skin.

That of Us with sensitive skin should be especially careful with skin care. Serums, ointments and scrubs are often packed with powerful ingredients that can irritate our skin. We want to remove redness, not keep it! Based on my own experience and the recommendations of dermatologists, here are my top picks for products that are safe for sensitive skin.

1. Best Facial Cleanser: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

Our main highlights:

• Recommended by dermatologists for sensitive skin
• Gentler on the skin than water!

Pros:

• Creamy and lightweight
• Removes make-up and impurities without stripping the skin
• Fragrance-free

Cons:

• The only negative feedback in the sea of ​​glowing five star reviews is that the pump doesn't work, but I've never had a problem with that

Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser has been my favorite facial cleanser for decades, thanks to a recommendation from my dermatologist. Formulated with glycerin and vitamin B, this lightweight cleanser leaves my dry skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated. It is ideal for even the most sensitive skin, including dermatitis, rosacea, eczema and acne-prone skin.

After Molly Sims told me to invest in vitamin C (“Everyone, it doesn't matter if you're 20 or 50, you need a vitamin C cream,” she told exclusively We weekly. “You need vitamin C for brightening”), I immediately started testing different serums. Unlike some products that burned my skin, this Sunday Riley serum gently brightens and hydrates.
