Sensitive skin that breaks out in hives, redness, or swelling
Most often, this type of skin is caused by lack hydration AND oil, an underlying issue (like rosacea), or an unknown allergy. If that’s the case, these products are specifically for you
This cleaner might not feel the most satisfying when it comes to cleansing, especially if you like something that foams, but it’s so darn easy to use! You don’t even need to use water with this, you can literally just wipe it off with a soft towel. A...
8.4 oz Ultracalming Cleanser - Dermalogica | Ulta Beauty
If you’ve got redness, this stuff is the bomb.com! Phyto Corrective Gel actively diffuses redness and swelling in the skin. You can literally watch your redness ebb away!
Phyto Corrective Gel - Hydrating Serums
This is very much for people with non oily sensitivity but it’s worked every time. If you’re experiencing flaking on top of your redness, this is for you. Shea butter is one of the main ingredients and works amazingly for people with dry skin but if ...
Doctor Rogers Face Cream 1.7 fl. oz
Sensitive skin that breaks out in acne or blackheads
This section is for you if you feel like you’re dripping with oil midday, have small blackheads that show up when they want, or mild to medium acne.
This is basically on almost all of my lists. This can help you get back to base really easily and it’s comedogenic ingredient free!
Barrier Balance Creamy Cleanser
This is a pretty universal product as well but this is an absolute GODSEND if you have inflamed acne. Honey, of course, is an active ingredient that is antimicrobial but most importantly antibacterial, meaning it will help kill off the bacteria that ...
iS Clinical Warming Honey Cleanser (4 oz.)
This is one of the best exfoliating ingredients I’ve ever encountered. Not only is it super gentle, it’s antibacterial so you’re making sure that that acne stops in its tracks! I’m a big fan of this for long term use as well because if your skin star...
5% Mandelic Serum | Acne Treatment
This is my go to moisturizer for helping keep oily skin hydrated! Formulated with out any comedogenic ingredients, this pairs especially well with the Face Reality hydrabalance to kick dehydration where it hurts
ReBalance
For sensitive skin period
This section is for everyone with sensitive skin!
This is always a must if you are a makeup wearer. I always say it but if you’re cleaning a floor, do you sweep or mop first? This is the broom. It’s also very gentle and emulsifies with water so you aren’t stuck with that gross oily feeling some oil ...
5.1 oz Precleanse Cleansing Oil - Dermalogica | Ulta Beauty
This is probably my favorite cleanser ever. I’ve actually never met someone who I can’t use this on their face and have amazing results! It contains small amounts of salicylic acid to calm and gently turn over skin cells but it’s really so universal....
iS Clinical Cleansing Complex (6 oz.)

I’d say this is majority universal. I probably would not use this on someone who’s having a bad rosacea breakout (red light is the way to go if that’s the case) or inflamed acne, but if it’s on the up or down swing, it’s a good preventative to help i...
Nutrient Toner
Another that makes it on every list, this stuff is AMAZING. It will help your skins water content get back to baseline and you’re gonna see your acne start to clear in a matter of days with consistent use. It’s aloe based and also Face Reality so the...
HydraBalance Gel | Water-Based Hydrating Gel
Disclaimer: we’ve got a love hate relationship. I HATE the texture of this stuff but I LOVE that it gives me super quick results. This will take your skin down about five notches in terms of sensitivity and it’s completely non comedogenic despite its...
Doctor Rogers Restore Healing Balm 0.5 oz
I know what you’re thinking, “A Vitamin C? For my irritated skin? Won’t that make it worse” and in many cases you would be correct but not when it comes to ProHeal. I have type 1 rosacea and have never been able to use a Vitamin C before because of t...
