[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The big (and also cheap!) tub of cerave cream is the best moisturizer out there for sensitive skin.  [/quote]

And keep the routine simple. No toner, vit c, etc.

Vitamin C is a skincare essential. Any med student on their dermatology rotation will tell you as much. The trick is to finding a Vitamin C that works for sensitive skin, of which there are many.

Toner is not essential.[/quote]

As said above if you heal your skin, you can use vitamin vitamin C with no issue. Reactive skin is due to harsh products being used on it over time. [/quote]

I don’t agree. I have healthy albeit sensitive skin. No skin barrier issues and I follow a simple routine with only gentle wash and lotion (both vanicream). Whenever I try to use a Vit C serum (every so often I retry, and [b]I use ones considered gentle[/b]), my skin stings and burns like crazy. [/quote]
What have you used?[/quote]

i’ve tried vanicream, timeless, mad hippie and la roche posay[/quote]
Timeless and Mad Hippie are not intended for sensitive skin. La Roche Posay has a form for sensitive skin, so make sure you were using the right one.

Vanicream is strange but it is more chemical-y than the others so you could've been allergic to something else in there.[/quote]

I started using the Olay Vitamin C Serum when the boutique line one I used to use kept being out of stock.  It works well and is reasonably priced.  No irritation issues for me.  I have pretty sensitive skin, although the skin on my face has probably "toughened up" through decades of retinols.  (I had acne as a teen so i started Retin-A at a young age.)[/quote]
