When you have sensitive skin, trying out any new product can come with a bit of anxiety. Will this product — designed to make your skin better — actually break yours out in zits, hives, or redness?
Luckily, there are a plethora of skin care products designed for even the pickiest skin. When you suffer from sensitive skin, it's important to wash your face with a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser so you don't irritate your complexion.
While I was searching the Sephora Beauty Insider Community [1], I stumbled upon a few fantastic suggestions for gentle face washes, and added a few recommendations of my own. Regardless of your skin type, these five cleansers are guaranteed to be gentle on your delicate skin.
Caudalie Gentle Cleansing Milk
The Caudalie Gentle Cleansing Milk [3] ($28) is ideal for adding moisture to your skin, and is gentle enough to use around your eyes.
Korres Greek Yoghurt Foaming Cream Cleanser
Try a soap-free cleanser like the Korres Greek Yoghurt Foaming Cream Cleanser [4] ($26) if you suffer from tight, dry skin. This creamy cleanser has real Greek yogurt to nourish your skin.
First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser
Any skin type can benefit from the First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser [5] ($10). It's completely fragrance-free, and removes makeup and dirt effortlessly.
Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser For Combination or Oily Skin
If your skin is both sensitive and breakout-prone, try the Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser For Combination or Oily Skin [6] ($26). The water-based cleanser protects skin from hard water, and the tamarind acid clears skin of excess oil and makeup.
Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser
Remove all of your makeup with the extra-gentle Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser [7] ($24). The formula cleanses your skin without stripping it of moisture.
