What's a safe facial moisturizer for very sensitive, combo skin?

[et119]

About me: 31 years old, combo dry-normal-oily face, very sensitive, red cheeks often, prone to breakouts only with products but otherwise no ance. I am plant based and feel safer when products have limited ingredients. The less I do to my skin, the better it feels and looks. IDC if products target aging. I DO care about ingredients that damage my cells and cause an acceleration of my skin aging. I tried Acure mattifying moisturizer, but it leaves me just as dry lol? However, I didnt breakout! Maybe another moisturizer in this line? I bought that one specifically bc I didnt want to feel greasy. Thanks babes 😭

I strongly recommend The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL to fight that redness you’re seeing. When your skin flares up from your sensitivities I recommend iUnik’s Tea Tree Serum (not available on Sephora as it is a Korean beauty product but you can find it on YesStyle and StyleVana). Those are both serums I recommend you try but for a good combo skin moisturizer, I have to say the CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion is a good and accessible choice, although my person holy grail product as a person who also has sensitive combo skin is the iUnik Centella Calming Gel Cream. It is super great for calming inflammation or sensitized skin, and it a great lightweight yet hydrating moisturizer for combination skin types. As a general rule for sensitive skin I recommend completely avoiding any products that have fragrance or essential oils in the ingredients list. To make you feel completely safe, I can assure you that all information comes from a skincare specialist and these products were recommended by a skincare specialist.

First Aid beauty has some really great products! The intensive repair cream works wonders! Their line is fragrance free as well! I also recommend the Peter Thomas Roth Hylauronic water drench cream as well! For a serum the ordinary hylauronic acid +B5 is very very hydrating and quite cheap as well 🙂

@et119  I really like Drunk Elephant Lala Retro™ Nourishing Whipped Refillable Moisturizer 1.69 oz/ 50 mL. It is great for sensitive skin. It is thick but it doesn’t make my face feel greasy.

Hi @et119 I really love anything Tatcha! The Tatcha The Water Cream Oil-Free Pore Minimizing Moisturizer 1.7 oz / 50 mL is one of my favorite products because it's clean and hydrates my sensitive skin without making me feel greasy! 🙂
