Top Eight Sensitive Skin (And Eyes) Skincare Products

Skincare For Sensitive Skin

When you have sensitive skin and/or sensitive eyes, it can be hard to find the right skincare products. This is especially true if you have conditions like rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, or dry eyes. Trying out a new product is like spinning the wheel of fortune – will it turn out to be great or will it irritate your skin and cause a reaction?

We asked people with sensitive skin to test a range of different products and give us their honest reviews and from those we’ve come up with a top ten list of skincare products suitable for sensitive skin. So without further ado, let’s get into the list! Use some of these beauty products singapore and you’ll never have irritated skin again.

 

1. Lancôme Absolue Oil-in-Gel Cleanser

If you’re looking for a gentle cleanser that can help remove dirt, oil, and even makeup, Lancôme’s Absolue Oil-in-Gel cleanser would be the one for you. Formulated with a blend of rose extracts and oils, this cleanser is able to thoroughly clean your face whilst hydrating it. This cleanser also has fatty acids and antioxidants in its formulation and this would be helpful in keeping your skin moisturised and plump. However, this product does contain some fragrance and can be a potential irritant for some! So be wary if you’re thinking of trying this product out.

 

2. Paula’s Choice Hydrating Gel-to-Cream Cleanser

Another great cleanser to try would be Paula’s Choice Hydrating Gel-to-Cream cleanser. Initially a gel, this cleanser quickly turns into a thick foam as you massage it into your face. Amazingly, this cleanser is able to completely cleanse your skin whilst hydrating it. According to our testers, vigorous scrubbing was not needed, neither was double-cleansing. This cleanser completely removed all traces of dirt and oil with a single wash. Furthermore, this cleanser contains glycerin, which is great for hydrating your skin. It also helps to protect your skin from environmental irritants.

 

3. Bare Republic Mineral Sunscreen Lotion Tinted Face

Sunscreen is an important part of one’s skincare routine and Bare Republic’s Mineral Sunscreen Lotion Tinted Face is a great product for sensitive skin types. As a mineral sunscreen, it protects against the full spectrum of ultraviolet radiation. It does not penetrate the epidermis, instead sitting on the skin’s surface and is therefore less likely to irritate sensitive skin types. This sunscreen is also great as it applies as a cream but has a lightweight powdery finish. As a tinted sunscreen, this mineral sunscreen does not result in white residue. Reviewers also loved that this sunscreen was able to mattify their skin. If you’re looking for a good mineral sunscreen that won’t irritate your skin, this is the one for you.

 

4. Lancôme Absolue Revitalizing Brightening Soft Cream

Moisturising is another key part of one’s skincare routine and finding the right moisturiser is important for keeping your sensitive skin moisturised. In fact, many reviewers have found that this cream brought instant hydration and plumping after application. Like other great moisturisers, this cream also contains glycerin which is great for sensitive skin. It is hydrating and protects against environmental irritants. This product is fragranced and lists essential oils in its ingredients, therefore it might be irritating for some skin types. Furthermore, this cream may be too hydrating and heavy for some. If acne or clogged pores are a worry, this wouldn’t be suitable.

 

5. Vichy Aqualia Thermal Serum

Whilst serums aren’t a “must” in skincare routines, fans of serums will love Vichy’s Aqualia Thermal Serum. In particular, the hyaluronic acid and glycerin in this serum are perfect for moisturising. According to reviewers, this serum is lightweight and comfortable to apply. It is particularly great for applying before doing your makeup. However, this product is fragranced and contains alcohol, therefore, it might cause irritation and drying skin for some people. If you’re prone to reacting to fragrances or alcohol, this would be a serum to avoid.

 

6. Biossance Squalane + Tea Tree Balancing Oil

If you’re looking for something that hydrates your skin whilst fighting blemishes, Biossance’s Squalane + Tea Tree Balancing Oil is perfect for you. With squalene, sunflower seed oil, and lavender oil, sensitive skin will not be irritated but moisturised. With the addition of tea tree oil, blemishes will be treated and banished. Unexpectedly, this face oil does not coat your face thick or greasily. Instead, it is lightweight and absorbs well. All in all, this is a great face oil to try out!

 

7. Clinique Moisture Surge Eye 96 Hour Hydro-Filler Concentrate

The skin around your eyes is particularly fragile and if you have sensitive skin, taking care of this area is particularly important. This product by Clinique is perfect for hydrating the area around your eyes with its prime ingredient – aloe. Aloe is known for its hydrating and healing properties. It also has other great ingredients such as glycerin, niacinamide, lipids, and caffeine. With its water-gel base, this product absorbs quickly and easily into the skin. Furthermore, it is able to keep your skin moisturised for up to 96 hours. With no fragrances, this product should not cause any irritation for sensitive skin users.

 

8. Dermablend Makeup Dissolver

If you’re looking for a gentle makeup remover that can even remove waterproof makeup, Dermablend’s Makeup Dissolver is the one. Being fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and free of parabens, phthalates, dyes, or sulfates, this makeup remover is perfect for sensitive skin types. Furthermore, this product contains dimethicone and glycerin. Dimethicone is great for preventing water loss and if you have dry skin, this would be perfect for you! However, dimethicone can be potentially troubling for some as it might clog pores. If you choose to try this remover out, be sure to look out for that.

 

Conclusion

When it comes to skincare products for sensitive skin, it is important to avoid products with phthalates, fragrances and alcohol. These are often substances that cause skin irritation. Instead, products that are hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic should be sought after. With this guide, we hope that you’ll be able to find a new skincare product suitable for your skin!
