Skincare I Trust for Sensitive Skin
16
items I've had sensitive skin for years, which means I've also spent years finding out very quickly which products my skin doesn't like. This is the other side of my skincare routine: the European and US products I know, trust and keep coming back to. Some...
I've used this for years and keep coming back to it. It removes everything without making my skin feel stripped, and most importantly for me, it has never caused a breakout. Not exciting, just incredibly reliable.
Take The Day Off™ Makeup Remover Cleansing Balm
I’ve used Kiehl’s for a long time and this is one of the products my sensitive skin has always been comfortable with. I use very little, especially because I don’t want an oil sitting heavily on my skin.
Midnight Recovery Concentrate Moisturizing Face Oil Serum
This surprised me because Rituals isn’t necessarily the first brand I think of for serious skincare. It’s light, easy to use every day and my skin gets along with it, which is ultimately what matters to me.
The Ritual of Namaste Anti-Ageing Serum
One of those products that has been around forever for a reason. I like it when I want a simple toner that doesn’t make my sensitive skin feel stripped or overloaded with actives.
Calendula Herbal-Extract Alcohol-Free Toner
I’ve used this for years, but I don’t treat it as an everyday toner. It’s an exfoliating product, so with sensitive skin I use it when I actually need it rather than assuming more is better.
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner, Brightening and ...
Not skincare in a bottle, but something I genuinely think makes a difference when you have sensitive skin and fine or frizz-prone hair. I’ve found silk much kinder than sleeping directly on regular cotton every night.
Slip Silk Queen Pillowcase, White | 100% Pure 22 Momme Mulberry ...
This is one of the Clinique products I keep specifically for occasional breakouts rather than using all the time. It can be difficult to find in stores because it sells out regularly, and it’s one I like having around when my skin suddenly decides no...
Clinique Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion Exfoliating Facial Toner With ...
A very straightforward cleanser, which is exactly what I want when my skin is sensitive. It cleans without leaving my face feeling tight afterwards, and I like it most when I’m trying to keep the rest of my routine simple.
Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser
This is what I reach for when my skin feels irritated, unusually dry or just unhappy with everything else I’ve been putting on it. It’s richer than what I normally use every day, but very useful when my skin barrier needs a bit more help.
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 Skin Barrier Repair Cream with Centella ...
I’m very particular about sunscreen because if I dislike the texture, I simply won’t use enough of it. This is one of the European formulas I’ve found easy to wear regularly, especially when I know I’ll be outside for hours.
Anthelios UVAir™ Daily Serum Face Sunscreen SPF 50
Not an exciting product, but sometimes that’s exactly the point. I like this when my skin is feeling more sensitive than usual and I want a cleanser that does its job without introducing anything complicated.
Hydrating Facial Cleanser: Skin Refresh
I wouldn’t necessarily use this as my everyday moisturizer because it’s richer than I usually need, but it’s great when my skin gets very dry or starts feeling uncomfortable. One I’d keep around for colder weather or periods when my skin needs more m...
Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration
I’ve always liked how gentle this feels compared with cleansers that leave your skin feeling aggressively “clean.” It’s an easy one for everyday use when I want to remove the day without stripping my skin in the process.
Soy Face Cleanser | fresh US
I understand why this has such a loyal following. It feels much more like everyday skincare than a traditional heavy sunscreen, which makes it easier to actually wear consistently. Especially useful if your skin is sensitive or prone to getting irrit...
UV Clear SPF 46 Sunscreen for Acne-Prone Skin
A good option when I want a cleansing balm without spending much. I like this type of cleanser for taking off makeup and sunscreen gently, particularly when my skin feels too sensitive for lots of rubbing or stronger cleansers.
The INKEY List Oat Cleansing Balm 150ml
This is the kind of cream I like when my skin is reacting to everything and I want to strip my routine back to basics. It’s simple, comforting and much more useful to me on sensitive-skin days than something packed with actives.
