Sensitive skin isn’t easy to navigate. The wrong ingredients can wreak havoc, and the results could last for weeks. Whether you suffer from skin conditions such as rosacea or eczema or react to environmental factors like the wind, sunlight and pollution, the good news is there are products that can help.
First things first, always patch test before you commit. You could save yourself a ton of grief if you try out the product on a small part of your skin rather than your entire face. We know it’s hard to fight the urge to slap your new skincare on every bit of exposed skin out of excitement, but patch testing is a must.
Now that we’ve gotten that out, let’s dive into the best products for sensitive, reactive skin.
