If you have sensitive skin like me, you know how frustrating it can be trying products that only make things worse. After dealing with perioral dermatitis and spending way too long figuring out what triggers my flare ups, I’ve finally found products that keep my skin calm and hydrated.
This list includes skincare products I personally look for when building a routine for reactive, sensitive skin + with a focus on avoiding common irritants that can cause redness and irritation for me, especially niacinamide. These are the gentle staples I gravitate toward when my skin needs barrier support.
Of course everyone’s skin is different, but if you struggle with sensitivity, irritation, or perioral dermatitis flare ups, I hope this list helps make finding products a little less overwhelming 🤍
