Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion shockingly costs less than a Grande iced latte at Starbucks (wowza!).

Lawless's "Forget The Filler" comes in a variety of delectable flavors (birthday cake!!!). It hydrates lips overnight (similar to Laneige's repairing sleep mask) and will make your pout fuller. It's made of shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and a stimulating peptide complex that work so magically together you won't ever want to run out.
Rhode Pineapple Refresh Daily Cleanser featuring a refreshing green tea extract and pineapple enzyme (soft, clean, skin coming right up!). Your face is going to feel like a fresh summer morning even when the weather outdoors says otherwise.

Bio-Oil, which reviewers swear helps to diminish scars and stretch marks so well it should probably be called "bye-bye oil." It *also* does a fabulous job moisturizing sensitive skin. It's filled with rosemary, lavender, chamomile, vitamin A, vitamin E, and PurCellin oil to help keep your skin feeling (and looking!) great.

It'll leave a slight color and gloss on your pout while also working overtime to moisturize and strengthen it at the same time.
And OUAI Scalp & Body Scrub made with sugar and coconut oil to help bring your skin and scalp back to life — not to mention it smells absolutely incredible.

28 Reviewer-Loved Products For Sensitive Skin
A Briotech spray that essentially does everything the popular Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray can do — reducing redness and rashes, calming psoriasis, and fighting acne-causing bacteria — for way less $$. That's all because of a magic ingredient called hypochlorous acid, which is naturally produced in our bodies by white blood cells as part of the body's immune system to fight off infections and pathogens. Yep, so that explains its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. A Juno & Co. Clean 10 Cleansing Balm perfect for your double cleansing routine because it'll melt away waterproof products and rinse off without any residue. It's made with only 10 ingredients (read: fewer potential triggers for your skin), including pearl barley, which helps to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. A CeraVe Eye Repair Cream to help deliver results you can ~see~ with consistent use — and by that I mean, the reduced appearance of puffiness and eye bags. How does it do it, you might ask?? A blend of moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid, brightening niacinamide, and the three essential ceramides that CeraVe uses in all their products to help boost your skin's barrier. Plus, you can use this gentle formula both day *and* night. Promising review: "I have really sensitive skin, especially around my eyes, and it's been tough finding an eye cream that hydrates without causing irritation — but CeraVe Eye Repair Cream has been a total fragrance-free, lightweight, and super gentle, which makes it perfect for the delicate under-eye area. I've had no stinging, redness, or breakouts since using it, which is honestly rare for me with eye products. After just a couple of weeks of daily use, my under-eye area feels more moisturized and smoother, and my concealer goes on way better now. It also absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any greasy or sticky residue.I love that it has ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide — all the good stuff for strengthening the skin barrier and calming irritation. Plus, a little goes a long way, so the tube lasts quite a while." —The DowreysGet it from Amazon for $14.44. A splurge-worthy EltaMD sunscreen with zinc oxide adored by tens of thousands of reviewers because it's lightweight, doesn't cause breakouts, and is actually very effective at preventing sunburns (if applied often and correctly). Promising review: "I have a condition called polymorphous light eruption, and am EXTREMELY sun sensitive and burn, blister, and get terrible, itchy rashes within minutes of sun exposure, even on mild days. This is honestly a lifesaver for me. I don't mind wearing it at all. It's not greasy, not tacky, doesn't leave or develop a white film, doesn't make me sweat to death, and doesn't feel… just gross… while wearing it. It just feels 'normal.' And, of course, it does what it's supposed to do, and that is it protects my extremely sensitive skin from burning very well. I'm so thankful to have found this product. I feel like I'm getting my life back. It's expensive, though! Due to that, I wear it just on my face and neck and use cheaper products elsewhere." — it from Amazon for $23+ (available in two sizes and a tinted version). A bottle of Bioderma Sensibio H2O micellar water that's the gold standard for gentle makeup removal. This fragrance-free, alcohol-free formula mimics your skin's natural lipids to cleanse and soothe without irritation — even reviewers with rosacea and eczema swear by it as the only thing that doesn't leave them red or burning. Promising review: "I don't know why I never considered using micellar water instead of random removers/makeup wipes, but wow, this is so much better, and it works with my super sensitive skin. It takes barely any pressure to wipe everything off, including my mascara/eyeliner. Highly suggest pairing with a makeup eraser!" —L"I have incredibly sensitive skin. I have eczema and have also been through topical steroid withdrawal, which has permanently damaged my skin. Nearly everything burns my skin. However, this didn't AT ALL. It also took off ALL of my makeup so quickly and easily. I cannot recommend it enough." —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three sizes and a travel version). A Neutrogena Hydro Boost water gel moisturizer formulated with hyaluronic acid for giving super thirsty skin the deep hydration it needs. It's also oil free and noncomedogenic, meaning it won't block your pores, so you can give it a try even if you're acne prone. Hyaluronic acid can absorb up to 1,000 times its weight in water, which is why it's such a popular ingredient in moisturizers. This formula is non-comedogenic, oil-free, dye-free, and fragrance-free. Read our review of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel moisturizer!Promising review: "This Neutrogena moisturizer has become an essential part of my daily routine. It's lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave a greasy feeling, which I really appreciate since I have sensitive skin. I especially like using it in the morning before sunscreen. It provides just the right amount of hydration without feeling heavy, making it perfect for warm weather or for those who prefer a lighter cream. I'll definitely keep purchasing it." —Diana cruzGet it from Amazon for $16.56. A Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant to unclog your pores and brighten your complexion in a non-abrasive way. Reviewers saw results within *days* — and folks with sensitive skin say it's actually gentle enough for them. An Aquaphor Healing Balm Stick with avocado oil and shea butter so you can immediately soothe chapped, chafed skin — whether that's your inner thighs, heels, or underboob area. Although most reviewers use it on their body, many mention it's gentle enough to use on the face and lips, too. Plus, it's mess-free and easy to toss in your bag to use on the go. A Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Moisturizing Face SPF 60 Serum that, like the name suggests, applies like a serum, so it's everything regular sunscreen is NOT — i.e., it's weightless, noncomedogenic, nongreasy, and doesn't leave a white cast on skin. To summarize, this is the sunscreen for sunscreen haters. A pack of Biodance Bio-Collagen hydrogel masks for a self-care treat that lasts more than, say, 15 minutes. In fact, you're supposed to leave it on overnight to really let the ingredients sink in and work their magic (although three hours is enough if you're in a pinch). The mask goes on like an opaque jelly and becomes transparent over time. You'll wake up to a plumper, brighter, and more hydrated complexion — thanks to collagen extract, niacinamide, and a lower molecular weight hyaluronic acid that's meant to penetrate the skin more effectively. A Beauty of Joseon serum formulated with soothing ingredients like green tea, mugwort, and panthenol to help calm down skin that's irritated by the sun or other environmental stressors (let's be real, your skin is always mad about something). And after regular use, many reviewers say their skin isn't just surviving — it's actually thriving! Promising review: "This serum does exactly what it promises. It's super lightweight, absorbs fast, and instantly calms down redness or irritation — especially after workouts or tretinoin nights. No stickiness, no fragrance, no drama. Just clean hydration and a nice cooling effect. I layer it under moisturizer, and it plays well with everything in my routine. If you've got sensitive or reactive skin, this is a must. It's become a staple in my lineup." —Tom Ham"I have never had such a positive experience! It does all that it promises. Yes, it helps prevent breakouts and soothes them. It's unlike anything I've tried in the best way possible. I have sensitive skin, and this gave no side effects. Skin glows and looks nicer than I've ever seen it! I'm hooked! Love love love it!" —AudreyGet it from Amazon for $16.89. A box of Clean Skin Club disposable face towels, if you suspect your regular face towels may be responsible for some irritation and breakouts. By switching to these soft and absorbent viscose ones, you won't have to worry about bacteria lingering on washcloths or staining your "good towels" with makeup. Reviewers say they're super sturdy and can even be rinsed and reused for other purposes, such as wiping down the sink. A tube of Good Molecules Yerba Mate Eye Gel that, in addition to the main antioxidant-rich ingredient, is also formulated with hyaluronic acid and caffeine to hydrate and reduce puffiness. Although we know nothing beats a good night's sleep, this product comes pretty darn close to helping you appear awake and ready for the day at 7 a.m. An Anua cleansing oil for effortlessly removing waterproof makeup and SPF while also clearing out your pores. The oil emulsifies into a milky texture when it comes into contact with water and easily rinses off. You can use it alone or as part of a double cleanse. Many reviewers say they saw actual blackheads come out in the cleansing process. Like, wow. The Ordinary Oil Control Serum with 10% Niacinamide and 1% Zinc to add to your daily regimen — apply it after your toner and before your moisturizer — if your main skincare concerns include skin blemishes and congestion. This concentrated vitamin-and-mineral blend might help you achieve results that your other products can't, with niacinamide tackling dark spots and reducing the appearance of pores, and zinc helping to regulate sebum production while calming redness and inflammation. This product is vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without alcohol, silicone, nuts, gluten, and review: "This product has effectively helped treat my acne for over a year. I have very sensitive skin and live in a dry climate, and this doesn't cause any weird rash or breakouts, unlike some other products I've used. I underwent laser treatments that helped get rid of most of my acne, but I believe the routine I've been following since then has kept my skin happy. After washing my face with an exfoliating cleanser in the shower, I evenly apply a few drops of this and follow it with their azelaic acid cream and a lightweight moisturizer. My skin now has a nice smooth texture on top of everything else." —AFaithNGet it from Sephora for $6 (also available in a value size). A First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair cream, if your skin is dry, distressed, irritated, or all of the above. This rich yet fast-absorbing cream can be slathered all over your face and body, wherever the problem area may be. It's made with colloidal oatmeal (aka really finely ground oatmeal), which can help soothe, soften, and increase moisture in the skin, and shea butter, an MVP ingredient that protects the skin barrier with vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. This product is vegan, cruelty-free, and review: "First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream is seriously the GOAT when it comes to dry skin. I slather it on after showers, and my skin feels instantly hydrated and so smooth — no more flaky patches or irritation. It's thick but not greasy, and absorbs fast, which is perfect for my busy mornings. Also, it's super gentle and works great even on sensitive skin. If you want something that actually delivers major moisture without breaking you out, this cream is a must-have.100% recommend for anyone battling dry or sensitive skin — your skin will thank you!" —Natalie DreselGet a six-ounce jar from Amazon for $38. A TruSkin vitamin C serum with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, aloe vera, and jojoba oil that'll help brighten dark spots and even your complexion in a ~mellow~ kind of way (you know, because some vitamin C products can sometimes sting). This one promises visible results with no irritation — and *tens of thousands* of reviewers say it truly delivers. A pack of Medicube "Zero Pore" dual-textured toner pads formulated with AHA lactic acid and BHA salicylic acid for banishing excess oil and refining the appearance of your pores in a few swift wipes. One reviewer said this product was the key to achieving the coveted "glass skin" look, while many others said these pads didn't irritate their sensitive skin. A Cosrx repairing essence formulated with snail mucin to help hydrate and heal skin that's dull or damaged. Many reviewers hailed this as a skincare "game changer" — and based on some of these before and afters, I can see why. And don't worry! No snails are harmed in making this. Promising review: "I don't say this lightly: this product is my skin savior. I've repurchased it seven times now, and it has earned permanent real estate in my skincare routine. I suffer from eczema, adult acne, severe allergies, and now at 38, I'm seeing the first signs of fine lines and dullness, and this essence tackles ALL of it with grace. The texture is unique: light, jelly-like, cooling, and although delicate, it delivers powerful results overnight. Anytime my skin looks stressed, inflamed, or tired, I reach for this, and the next morning I wake up with smoothed fine lines, smaller pores, and a calm, dewy glow. It's that clean, non-irritating, non-oily, and packed with safe, allergy-conscious ingredients, which is so rare for someone like me with extremely reactive skin. This product is the definition of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it.' If you're someone who struggles with sensitivity, texture, redness, or aging skin, or just want that K-beauty glow, do yourself a favor and try it. I'm beyond obsessed. COSRX, never stop making this product. 🙌" —LyvonneGet a two-pack from Amazon for $35. A Vanicream daily facial moisturizer so gentle, it's like a safety blanket for your skin. Formulated *without* common irritants and fragrances and *with* ceramides and hyaluronic acid, reviewers swear by it for calming flare-ups. This has the National Eczema Association Seal of reviews: "Oh. My. Gosh. This moisturizer was a MIRACLE WORKER for my face. I'm so glad I decided to give it a try before splurging on Kiehl's. I attached before vs after photos. I have not changed any other habits (like diet, cleanser, supplements, etc.) that could've affected my face. I'm pretty confident that this before vs. after is 100% due to this moisturizer. I know everyone has a different skin type (mine is combo), but please, at least give this product a try! It just might be what your face needs!!! I very much appreciate the price point as well, it's SO affordable for its effectiveness. I already stocked up on a couple more bottles.😄" —Tati"Everything it said it was. It's light but moisturizing, non-greasy, unscented, and great for my sensitive skin. I use this at night after my retinol, and it keeps my face hydrated and protected. Great price for a great product." —Tabitha it from Amazon for $13.97. A Glossier Milky Jelly Cleansing Bar that takes everything you love about the original Milky Jelly Cleanser and turns it into a solid, travel-friendly dream. Formulated with a blend of glycerin and meadowfoam seed oil, it gently cleanses without stripping, making it perfect for skin that hates harsh face washes. Promising review: "This cleansing bar is one of the few cleansers I can use on my super sensitive skin. It left my skin feeling moisturized and not irritated, which is extremely rare for me. This cleanser has nothing I'm allergic to. Thank you for creating this product; my only gripe is I wish it were sold in bulk!" —Helly"My husband and I both use this in the a.m. as a face wash to gently remove our nightly products. (We use a derm cleanser at night.) My skin is rosacea-prone and sensitive. His is combination and oily. It leaves both of our faces soft and clean with no irritation. We love the mild scent and rich lather. For years, we used Avene's face soap, but this is more hydrating. I highly recommend this product if you're looking for a mild face wash that leaves your face feeling soft and without residue." —LynnGet it from Glossier for $18. A deeply nourishing Summer Fridays Jet Lag mask (formulated with niacinamide, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants) for when your skin is feeling, well, jet-lagged.

It's something you'll always want to have handy in your medicine cabinet and toiletries bag. This product is vegan, gluten free, cruelty free, and comes in recyclable packaging, and here's a little explainer of the active ingredients: Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 and can have numerous skin benefits, including helping to reduce the appearance of pores, improving the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots, promoting even-looking tone and texture, and reducing redness and irritation; glycerin and hyaluronic acid are both humectants, meaning they attract and retain moisture — these two ingredients help boost review: "Wow, I was pleasantly surprised! I have very oily, dry, sensitive skin; I decided to try this out in the evening after using my Dermalogica daily exfoliator (which tends to leave my skin feeling tight). Whoa, does my skin feel amazing, no fragrance, didn't irritate my really sensitive skin, and I don't look overly glowy. I've never tried a moisturizer/mask that left only my nose feeling a little oily. I hope this product continues to work well for me. FYI, a little goes a long way." —LizzieT2018Get it on Sephora for $49 (also available in a mini size). A rice water cleanser to gently wash away pore-clogging impurities without stripping away moisture. And you might think, rice water extract, what an interesting ingredient!

The more you know! 💫 And speaking of rice, an I'm From milky toner made with Goami rice extract and niacinamide, so you can point to your glowing skin and say, "Why, yes, I did wake up like this." An Embryolisse face cream and makeup primer (formulated with nourishing shea butter and soothing aloe vera) that feels thick and luxurious without being greasy. Reviewers say it creates a flawless base for foundation, and a little goes a long way. Promising review: "My everyday go-to face lotion and primer. I have very sensitive skin so I can't use most lotions. I come out of the shower feeling so dry. Finding this was the holy grail. I immediately put this on after every shower, it's super hydrating and easy to apply. It feels so good. It dries like a dream since it's a light cream base. My face is always so smooth and hydrated after I use it. Excellent quality, I hope it's available for the rest of my life." —Stephen PearseGet it from Amazon for $17. A nothing-short-of-miraculous Bio-Oil reviewers swear by for helping scars and stretch marks fade faster. It's also just a great moisturizer for everyday use — containing both vitamin A and E, which work together to help boost collagen, promote cell turnover, reduce the appearance of scars, and moisturize. I mean, this is the kind of versatile product I would want with me on a desert island. Promising review: "I've used BioOil for years and it's the best facial oil out there. It never caused any breakouts whatsoever. It's great for moisturizing and for days you may have gotten too much sun. It will prevent peeling and keep your skin radiant. It's even great for sensitive skin, like mine. A great value, as a little goes a long way." —Marcy Travis"I ordered this oil to help with scars and stretch marks on my legs, and WHAT THE HECK?! It worked within two weeks! I had stretch marks on my thighs, which are now completely gone! I have a bunch of scars and dark spots on my legs, and they vanished!

I will be buying this until the day I pass because WOW, my skin is plump, GLOWING, and gorgeous. I've never seen it so healthy. Even my boyfriend was like, you are literally glowing??? If you're on the fence, buy it. I never write reviews, and this moisturizer is a powerhouse!" —chloeeeeeeno12"I've been using this moisturizer consistently since before Sephora carried it, and I will continue to as long as Dieux makes it! My face is so sensitive that even the usual 'sensitive safe' recommendations cause me to break out in hives. Instant Angel is always calming and leaves my skin happy and glowing. I can't recommend it enough!" —garbanzo1080Get it from Sephora for $45+ (also available in a value size).
