    27 Skincare Products That Are Sensitive-Skin Approved

    This is for all my sensitive skin besties, struggling to find products that ~actually~ work for them.

    1. A lightweight moisturizer that'll feel as light as a cloud on your face. One of the main ingredients in this is hyaluronic acid, but it has not one, not two, but three molecular sizes of hyaluronic acid in it. This trio will help keep your face looking and feeling hydrated.

    2. A night serum to help your skin recover from breakouts while also protecting your skin from future breakouts. Plus, it hydrates and nourishes your skin at the same time. I call that a win.

    3. Or a serum with hyaluronic acid that'll rehydrate your skin after a long day. With over 21,000 5-star ratings, this fast-absorbing, lightweight gel-like serum can help plump and moisturize your skin.

    4. A tube of retinol night cream because it works its magic overnight. Apply at night and wake up and see how this product can turn back time on your skin. Please, don't yell at us when you get ID'd buying wine again.

    Promising review: "I cannot believe how well this is working! I've been using it consistently every night with moisturizer for one week and I'm already seeing drastic results to smooth out my cystic acne scars on my cheeks! I'm so excited that I've found something that doesn't break out my acne-prone, eczema-prone, highly sensitive skin." —Emily Hill

    Get it from Amazon for $16.51.

    5. A viral color-correcting treatment that has SPF and color correcting abilities. Not only does it help neutralize your redness, it also evens out your skin and with this bb you don't even need foundation.

    Promising review: "I’ve been looking for a concealer to enable me to go mostly makeup free. My main issue is redness and irritation. I have a very fair complexion and sensitive skin. This product exceeded my expectations in neutralizing redness on my nose and cheeks. I’m so pleased and can already tell this is going to be my new favorite skincare product. I put it on after moisturizer and under primer, then just follow up with the tiniest amount of under-eye concealer and I’m good to go." —badleybratt

    Get it from Sephora for $21+ (available in two sizes).

    6. A very viral cleanser from CeraVe because IYKYK. It's formulated with three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) to help strengthen your skin barrier. It also has our bestie, hyaluronic acid to help hydrate your complexion, and it has over 83,000 5-star ratings for a reason.

    7. A cute blackhead scrub stick that'll free your skin of blemishes and exfoliate your pores, all at the same time. All you need to do is massage this in a circular motion into your damp skin, post-cleaning, rinse with warm water, and enjoy the grossness coming out of your skin.

    8. A rose hip oil to help hydrate and soothe sensitive areas on your face. It's super lightweight, has vitamin C in it, and can help minimize dryness and flakiness.

    9. A nourishing face oil that'll help you master the clean and effortless look. It's lightweight, non-greasy, and will easily absorb into your skin, it's just so *chef's kiss*.

    10. An exfoliating toner to give your complexion that glow-from- within appearance you've been trying to master. In addition to removing impurities, this helps brighten and refine your skin.

    11. A lightweight serum that'll help minimize irritation and the appearance of red, splotchy skin. This product uses an ingredient called Tiger Grass that'll help soothe irritation, minimize redness, and fortify the skin barrier.

    12. An eye treatment you'll be reaching for if you'd like to give your under-eye skin the royal treatment. If you're looking for something to de-puff your eyes and help reduce dark circles, add this to your to-try list ASAP!

    13. A mud mask for your skin because a spa night is 100% needed. While you have some self-care time, don't forget to watch a rom-com and sip some wine as you let the mask dry. In case you were curious, dead sea mud can help cleanse sensitive skin and minimize the appearance of pores.

    14. Or a marshmallow mask for those who want to achieve a more radiant complexion. It's hydrating with ingredients like marshmallow root extract and, of course, some vitamin C that can help brighten areas around your cheeks, chin, and forehead.

    15. A superfood cleanser that's basically a green juice for your skin, and that's why I am obsessed with it. Why drink green juice when you use this on your face instead, LOL! Some of the key ingredients in this include kale, spinach, and green tea that are packed with antioxidants. It can also help prevent pore buildup and balance pH without causing dryness.

    16. A facial spray with aloe and rose water because sometimes you just need to cool down in the middle of a summer day. Refreshing and hydrating, you're going to need to pick up at least two of these, one for your bag and one for your collection at home. BTW, this has over 45,000 5-star ratings.

    17. A foaming gel cleanser that has probiotics and will leave your complexion with a glowy appearance. Other than removing your makeup, this product can help condition your skin without stripping it.

    18. A SPF 30 vitamin C moisturizer to help protect your complexion from UV rays and pollution. Apply it to your face and neck as the last step of your A.M. skincare routine.

    19. A Paula's Choice BHA leave-on product that'll exfoliate your face, help unclog pores, and combat redness, all while helping to even out your skin tone. One of the main ingredients used in this is salicylic acid which helps shed extra layers while cleaning your pores.

    20. A lightweight moisturizer for hydrating sensitive skin without irritating it. Calming and soothing, this oat-heavy product will have your skin thanking you like it does when you order an oat milk latte.

    21. A set of face masks that smell so good and will give your complexion a mini spa treatment. Coming in a pack of three yummy flavors inspired by birthday cake (hydrating with hyaluronic acid), matcha (soothing with aloe), and berry (exfoliating with strawberry seeds), each of these does a little something different for your skin. I'll be adding all to my cart; thank you.

    22. A snail mucin moisturizer that went viral on TikTok with over 19,000 5-star ratings, this plumping, hydrating, and soothing product might be exactly what your skin needs. Also, let's talk about snail mucin because we both know you're a little freaked out. However, this ingredient can help enhance, moisturize, exfoliate, and soothe your skin. So, there is nothing to worry about; also, snails are not harmed in the making of this!

    23. A toner to help refresh your skin after a long night or week. Key ingredients in this include beta hydroxy acid to help minimize dullness, and pro-vitamin B5 to help with moisture loss.

    24. A multi-use skincare product that can be used in place of a toner, essence, *and* moisturizing lotion because your complexion deserves it. Just pour some on a cotton pad, and apply, and watch it work its magic. Guess what, besties, it's also fragrance-free!!!

    25. TruSkin Naturals Vitamin C Serum that is lightweight and non-greasy because sometimes your skin needs a little TLC. More than 60,000+ people on Amazon gave it a 5-star rating for its amazing results.

    Promising review: "I had given up on vitamin C. First, I have sensitive skin and had a hard time finding a product that was gentle enough. Then, the products I did find didn’t really seem to make much of a difference. On a whim, I checked this out as it was rated good for people that are sensitive to vitamin C. So happy I did! It has almost instantly improved my skin tone. Too early to tell about fading a sun spot, but I’m happy enough with the current results that they are alone worth it. 10/10 recommend." —Steph

    Get it from Amazon for $21.97.

    26. A milky toner to help moisturize your face. It uses snow mushrooms, hyaluronic acid, and elderflower water to help hydrate your skin.

    27. A vitamin E skincare oil that can be used on your face as well as your body. We love a multi-use moment, and this can help soften and even out your skin and help minimize the appearance of scars.
