We've all tried a product that left our skin feeling stripped and irritated during our quest for glass skin. It's a bummer, and you likely threw that skincare item in the trash.

But if you have dry, sensitive skin—whether from harsh outdoor temperatures or an acne medication—you know how often a skincare reaction from a harsh product can happen.

Fortunately, plenty of skincare products will keep your skin plump and hydrated without causing an unwanted reaction—and lucky for you, our shopping experts found them all.

If you think skincare can’t be gentle and effective, these products from Bubble, The Outset, Solawave, and more will change your mind.

The thing about having sensitive skin is that you never know what is going to set it off. That’s why it’s important to keep your skincare routine as simple as possible. It’s time to ditch the 12-step routine and get back to basics.

Not only will streamlining your routine prevent skin dryness, it will also make is easier to identify which products are contributing to any skin irritation.

To combat skin sensitivity, there are a few things to keep in mind when shopping.

Look for soothing ingredients like cica to calm redness (we recommend Moira Cosmetics' Skincure Cream), oat to soothe irritation, and peptides to hydrate dry skin and restore the skin barrier.

Scented products can further irritate sensitive skin, so it's best to avoid products containing a fragrance or an essential oil. And while you canuse active ingredients like acids and retinols, it's best to start slow and limit usage to prevent skin sensitivity.

Plus, there are skincare brands out there that make it easy to find products for dry, sensitive skin.

We're big fans of Scarlett Johansson's line, The Outset. From its bestselling hydrating facial cleanser to its ultra-rich moisturizer duo, the products from this line are fragrance-free and made without harsh chemicals.
