I think the hypersensitive line is new. I used this lotion http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002D48QVQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1395783679&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
And they had a great mask that I used as a lotion in winter.
If you can, try finding their samples first - they come in mini bottles, this way you won't waste money if you get a reaction.

I know I am allergic to aloe, but can't figure the rest out, the funny thing - the contact allergy test at the dermatologist came back negative. If you suffer from this like me, please share your resources: names of doctors, make up, lotions, sunscreens. Thank you!
I swear by Vanicream cleanser and moisturizer. I have rosacea and crazy skin. The rosacea has been helped by Oracea oral and Finacea topical. When I went on vacation for a week without using any of the above, my face became a mess. It took about a week to get it back to baseline once I was back home.

I became allergic to LRP at some point. Try Avene, (not AvenO), I successfully used it on my reactive skin before getting allergic to it as well.

Stop wearing makeup
Wash face with water only most days. Use cetaphil cleanser once every three days.
Use cetapjil moisturizer on body
If you don't dry your face out with soap, you can prob skip lotion

Hi,
it's OP of the thread. I thought if anyone found this useful, I'd throw in my latest find Hydrating B5 Gel Advanced - it is wonderful so far. Still looking for a sunscreen recommendations.

A dermatologist gave me a sample of Nutraderm (http://www.amazon.com/Nutraderm-Therapeutic-Lotion-Original-Formula/dp/B0000Y3LKM) 15 years ago and it remains the only moisturizer I can use daily without angering my face. I'm not sure why this one works for me, since it's not like its ingredient list is all that short or clean, but it does. It's very, very light in feel.
Can't help on the sunscreen. Every year I swear I am going to find something I can wear daily, I try a bunch of new ones, I think I've finally found my match... and after a few weeks my entire face freaks out.

Oh, and of course thank you everyone for sharing. I am also interested to hear the names of doctors and cosmetologists in the area who'd work with my skin.

OP here: there are soapless cleanses, Dove has one of them (but I react to it sometimes too), then Avene has expensive but good cleanser.
The eyeliner that I did not react to was this one http://www.sephora.com/script-precision-liquid-liner-P285616?skuId=1323344

I use baby soap to wash with. Shea butter is good for moisturizing.
