Redness and sensitive skin

Red, sensitive skin does best with fewer, gentler products. Dermatologists recommend fragrance-free products made for sensitive skin.

Ingredients that help

  • Soothing ingredients such as centella asiatica, allantoin, panthenol, oat, and bisabolol are common in products for sensitive skin

What dermatologists recommend

  • Choose fragrance-free products made for sensitive skin, and creams rather than lotions or gels.
  • Avoid ingredients that can sting: alcohol, camphor, menthol, glycolic acid, lactic acid, sodium lauryl sulfate, and urea.
  • Wash with your fingertips, and skip scrubs, washcloths, and exfoliating.
  • Use a mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, SPF 30 or higher.
  • Try a new product on your inner forearm for a few days before using it on your face.
