Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

It feels luxurious, is not greasy, and I wake up with noticeably plumper, smoother skin. Since it’s fragrance-free, it’s perfect if you're sensitive but want real results on fine lines. Definitely worth a try.
Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Overnight Recovery Face Cream & Mask
I was skeptical because of the celebrity hype, but this is actually great for sensitive skin. Is formulated with green tomato extract and a soothing mix of clays. It clears out my pores without that typical stripping or stinging feeling. Feels nourishing and natural without the usual irritating ingredients that come with botanical formulas.

Great little travel set. Love having these smaller sizes for my bag because my skin usually gets reactive when I travel or the weather changes. It’s simple, effective, fragrance-free, and actually fixes my skin barrier without any drama.
Avene Hypersensitive Skin Routine
Serums
I've been through so many barrier serums that actually made my sensitive skin worse because they were stuffed with botanical ingredients. This one is the real deal for me. It provides deep hydration that actually lasts and you can really see the redn...
Geek & Gorgeous Stress Less Serum
I was hesitant to try another retinol (specially from a brand I wasn't familar with), but the Dr. Althea 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum is actually perfect for my sensitive skin. It’s a super lightweight gel that uses a mix of retinol and bakuchiol, so it...
0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum | Dr. Althea
I got this on a whim because is so cheap and oh my gosh, is sooo calming and goes perfect as a makeup primer. Really helps with redness, is fast absorbed and does not feel sticky. It does have a slight scent so keep that in mind. Can't recommend enou...
Pyunkang Yul PKY Calming Solution Ampoule
Anti-Aging
I was recommended this by a French colleague with impeccable skin. She told me she couldn't handle traditional retinoids and swore by this instead, so I had to try it. It has rich texture and instead of retinoids it uses a plant based alternative tha...

Cancer Council Face Daywear Moisturiser SPF50+
I finally found a high-SPF sunscreen that doesn't feel like a heavy mask. It’s lightweight, blends perfectly without a white cast, and doesn't leave me greasy. The niacinamide is a nice bonus. Great under makeup or on its own for makeup free days.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Correct Daily Anti-Aging Sunscreen for Face SPF 70
I’ve always loved the regular Cicaplast, so having this SPF 50 version for the daytime is a lifesaver. It has that same rich, comforting feel that fixes my dry patches and redness, but with the added sun protection I need. It’s been great for my sens...
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 UV, Soothing Therapeutic Cream for Dry Skin with SPF 50
I keep this in my bag all summer. Reapplying regular sunscreen throughout the day usually grosses me out, but this stick makes it so easy and comfortable. It glides on without being sticky or heavy, and since it's fragrance-free, it doesn't mess with...
