We gave you our picks for the best cleansers for sensitive skin<\/a>, now it is on to the next step \u2013 adding moisture back in.\u00a0 Moisturizers are an important part of your skin care routine.\u00a0 If you have sensitive skin though, moisturizers can burn or cause another type of reaction.\u00a0 In addition to discomfort, you may experience redness, itching or even mild breakouts. People who experience or are being treated for skin conditions like acne, rosacea and eczema may also react to certain ingredients in a moisturizer.\u00a0 Dry skin isn\u2019t always sensitive and sensitive skin isn\u2019t always dry.\u00a0 People with oily skin, for example, may also be sensitive to certain ingredients.<\/p>\n

There are common ingredients that work well for people with oily, normal or even dry skin, but may cause irritation with people who have sensitivities.\u00a0 They include sulfates, alcohol, preservatives, dyes, or fragrance.\u00a0 Steer away from products containing acids like AHAs (alpha hydroxy acid), BHAs (beta hydroxy acid), salicylic acid and retinol. \u00a0Instead, choose soothing ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera or soy.\u00a0 Also, look for brands that limit their ingredient list.\u00a0 The more ingredients, the more chance there is of a flare up.<\/p>\n

As someone who has sensitive skin, I have fully tested the products below and they worked for me without causing any type of reaction. They were each tested over a minimum of a two-month period. Always do a patch taste if you are trying a new product.\u00a0\u00a0 What may work for one person, may cause a reaction for someone else.<\/p>\n
