I have hyper-sensitive skin. What sort of products should I be using?

ANSWERS TO... I have hyper-sensitive skin. What sort of products should I be using?

I don’t really like the smell of the usual sunblock. Is there any product out there that has a fragrance to mask it?

I have an uneven complexion and worse still, sun spots are beginning to form all over my cheeks. What product(s) should I use to even it out?

What can we use Vaseline for?

My legs are dry & riddled with scars. What should I do to get sexier legs?

You can try Cetaphil's range of products, especially their Gentle Skin Cleanser. It is known for its non-soap, non-drying formula that won’t irritate your skin, which is probably why it’s highly recommended by many dermatologists.

Unlike most cleansers and soaps, it can be used with or without water making it gentle enough for sensitive skin. And yet, it is able to remove non-waterproof make up.

	The Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is oil-free, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic. The 16oz bottle retails for RM48.25.
	There is also Cetaphil Moisturising Cream that provides all-day relief to dry and sensitive skin without being too greasy. It is non-comedogenic as well. Retails for RM47.25 (100g).

The Brand Simple is not bad.

artistry also no bad.....

this is because clinique products is allergy tested! hope it may useful for u=) take care.

clinique 3-step skin care is good for u=) but the most important u should choose the right skin type;)

can Cetaphil Moisturising Cream just apply on the face directly? cos i m also facing the same problem, hypersensitive skin, with redness on both sides of the cheecks

Avene / Clarins / Origins Dr Andrew Weil - they are my favorites as I shared your concern too!

how about oxy??

You can try use Clinelle, Vichy and Avene. It really work nicely on sensitive, acne prone skin :)

You may try Origins (new) Mega Mushroom Skin RElief Advanced FAce Serum..It's specifically designed to help quell irritation and visibly reduce sensitivity & redness on your skin..

yes...try Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. i am been using this for pass 3 months. and i found it less pimples and feel hydrating too. use it for ur 1st and 2nd cleanser. U must double cleans day and night.

clinique very gd for sensitive skin,been using for a few yrs .

SIMPLE products are good espacially for sensitive skin it will not irritate skin as it does not contain perfume & colouring!My skin is extra sensitive that I even cannot use tap water to wash my face and this product does not irritate my skin.Plus the price is very reasonable.

if at all you can use any brands skincare, just use aloe vera. it works perfectly well to keep hydration.

Kiehls, IDI, Clarins,HABA all this brand worth looking at too :)

clarin's gentle day cream works efficiently!

I suffer from eczema & sensitive skin too. i used eucerin, no effect. but its for minor sensitive.
try aloe vera & hydrocortisone 1% cream.
but the best way is, u better keep consuming healthy food. eat more vegetables and fruits.
drink lots of water.
but for product: cetaphil & polytar may help u. Vit E Organic Aid & Hydrocortisone is good.

clinique wash is real gd

Himalaya products...Check for their ingredients, less chemicals the better.

Why not try Aloe Vera gels? They can work as moisturizers too :)

Ive been using cetaphill for about 3 years now n it seems work on me best as i have the same problem as u do.

ya eucerin for sensitive skin also.. i using that too i never use cetaphill product before.anyone use it?

eucerin also not bad

avene spring water

How about Avene? Last time I have sensitive skin too and the Avene products work! Can get from any major pharmacy or sasa.
