The Skin Restore moisturizer by Mimetique is the only moisturizer I can use on my sensitive, eczema-prone skin. My face drinks it up!
SKIN RESTORE
A gentle, effective eye cream that, once I found it, is the only one I will use. Mimetique is a French company that prides itself in using the best, yet most gentle, products. I scoured Paris to find this when I was there, but it was sold out everywh...
CTRL EYE
Great for skin repair
Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology - ALASTIN Skincare
Great company. Super gentle facial wash.
Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream
My esthetician recommended this peel-off mask to me. It's gentle yet effective. There are several different kinds of masks from Esthemax and Mary J Skin is the only place that I have found that sells to "regular people". Every other site only sells ...
Esthemax Pure Himalayan White Tea Hydrojelly™ Mask - Clarifying & Antiseptic
Unfortunately, when I do get a pimple, it's usually one of those big suckers that like to stay a while. If I can't get to the doctor, I slap one of these suckers on and it usually helps to soothe any pain and starts to bring down the swelling. What I...
ZitSticka Killa Acne Microdart Patches 4ct
You need to exfoliate if you don't want clogged pores. As you get older, this becomes even more important because your pores seem to enlarge as you lose collagen. Dr Dennis Gross has these wonderful little wipes that offer at home peels for sensitive...
Alpha Beta® Ultra Gentle Daily Peel | Dr Dennis Gross
I don't wear a lot of makeup, but whatever I do wear it by bareMinerals. This powder offers full coverage, which it's important to me when I'm dealing with redness and don't want the world to see. It comes with a sponge to apply, but I prefer to use ...
bareMinerals Barepro Matte Pressed Powder
These are single-use towels designed to improve the skin barrier and improve overall skin health. There are a variety of towels offered, including ones for aging skin, blemish control and sensitive skin. If you are concerned with waste, the brand rec...

My hands are always dry. I found this hand cream by Necessaire through a recommendation from The National Eczema Association. I like that it feels luxurious and it absorbs quickly. I hate waiting for my heavy moisturizers to do their thing....
The Hand Cream | Multi-Butter
This heavy-duty moisturizer was recommended to me by my dermatologist. Sometimes it's the only thing that will work to soothe my dry, sensitive, eczema-prone skin. It can be used on the face, but I use it strictly as a body cream.
Vanicream Moisturizing Cream 1 lb Sensitive
Thank goodness for the Dove bar for sensitive skin! Every other soap feels like it leaves a film on my skin. This stuff washes off completely and is fragrance-free!
Dove Beauty Bar Soap Sensitive, 8 Bars, 3.75 oz
The best razor. I've been using it for years. It moisturizes as it shaves. I honestly didn't know it had a coconut fragrance until I made this post, so it must be a very subtle scent.
Gillette Venus Comfortglide Olay Razor 2ct
When my hands and feet get especially dry, this ointment does the trick. It is extremely thick and rich. After showering, I apply this balm and put on some gloves and socks. You may feel ridiculous, but by the morning, your skin will be noticeably so...
