The 12 Best Beauty Brands for Sensitive Skin
by Tina Ferraro, Teen Vogue
Say hello to more radiant skin…starting now!
There’s nothing more devastating than waking up in the morning to a bright red pimple on your forehead—unless you have sensitive skin, that is. Caring for skin that falls on the sensitive side requires you to dedicate a whole lot more of your time and effort to finding products that won’t cause you to break out in hives or experience that terrible, yet all-too-familiar burning sensation. So rather than have you test-drive every product on the market—at your own risk—we’ve rounded up the best beauty brands that are sure take extra-special care of your extra-sensitive skin.

1. Tata Harper
“Green” brands often get a bad rep for not achieving the same radiant results as their chemically-formulated counterparts, but the naturally-derived products from Tata Harper deliver the glow-y skin goodness you’re after. Scrub up with a 100% natural, 100% nontoxic cleanser at night. Trust us, your face will thank you.
2. Simple Skincare
They don’t call themselves the “Sensitive Skin Experts” for no reason. Scour the ingredient list of every single Simple product—we bet you won’t find a single harsh, drying ingredient. Formulated with the most delicate of skin in mind, each cleanser, moisturizer, and packet of wipes in the range gently targets problem areas right at their source. You’ll get the designer skincare results you’ve always dreamed of—for much less.
3. Clinique
Keep your breakouts at bay with Clinique’s skincare line. 100% fragrance free, each product in the range is designed to leave you with that deep, yet gentle clean feeling you so desire.
4. Dr. Jart+
Ever wonder why Koreans have such gorgeous, glowing skin? They don’t settle for brands that deliver less-than-stellar results. Designed with your sensitive skin in mind, Dr. Jart+’s products are lightweight, yet powerful, sealing in water at the skin’s surface—AKA your remedy to dry, rough patches.
5. SkinCeuticals
Say goodbye to raw, irritated skin for good with SkinCeuticals. Developed from decades of skin cancer research (so you know it’s gentle!), foaming cleansers promise to lift dirt, oil, and makeup from deep within your pores, without stripping it bare of its natural moisture.
6. Mario Badescu
Once your skin becomes red and enflamed, it can be extremely difficult to calm it down. Treat it to a soothing, rejuvenating session with one of Mario Badescu’s calming masks, which neutralize the harsh effects of acne products.
7. Weleda
Not unlike your body, your skin requires a healthy balance to stay hydrated, too. With its commitment to all-natural ingredients, Weleda products replenish skin’s moisture barrier—leaving it soft, supple, and as calm as can be.
8. Cetaphil
Forget that awful, tight sensation you feel after cleansing your face in the morning. Cetaphil promises to clear out pores without stripping them completely, and moisturizes without re-clogging. Count us in! (Plus, Miley Cyrus swears by the brand—as if you needed any other reason to give it a try.)
9. Dermalogica
After a long haul of product trials and errors, you’d probably like to label your poor skin as “radioactive” rather than just “sensitive.” Soothe already-irritated skin to any product in the “Ultracalming” line, and sit back as the stinging sensations dissipate.
