Combination/Sensitive Skin

[Vanilla]

Does any one else here have this type of skin?

My skin is oily in the t-zone,dry around the mouth, acne prone and very sensitive. Can anyone recommend a good product line that will work or help. I thought about the Aubrey Organic line. Has anyone ever tried their skin care products if so can you give a review?

TIA

Hi, my skin is combination and also very sensitive, particularly to highly fragranced products. For Christmas, my mom sent me EB5 products (she gets them at JC Penney but here is their website EB5 (http://www.eb5.com) and I have been using the toner, soap, and emulsion (the blue colored bottles) and it hasn't dried or irritated my skin although it says for normal to oily. I really like them.

I have to be careful with cleansers because that tends to be most likely to give me an allergic reaction but here are products I have used successfully:

Burt's Bees Marshmallow Vanishing cream
Eucerin Facial Moisturizers (pore clearing and AHA containing)
Cetaphil
Clearasil for sensitive skin

Believe it or not, a teensy tiny amount of neosporin on the dry patches overnight works wonders. I use this when my skin is really sensitive.

hope this helps!

p.s. I haven't used aubrey's facial products, but check the labels because sometimes it might contain essential oils that your facial skin won't like.

Thanks Kaela

the Eucerin Moisturizer is it greasy? My skin is oily and most moisturizers just add to it. I haven't found one yet that I really like that doesn't make me shine. I've thougth about trying the Cetaphil,but wasn't sure which one. Which one do you use?

My skin is also combination/sensitive. I use Basis sensitive skin bar soap & Neutrogena oil free moisturizer for sensitive skin daily. Once or twice a week I use St. Ives apricot scrub. I also just found that when I drink milk I am more prone to breakouts.

The Eucerin facial moisturizers aren't greasy to me, but I use a teensy tiny amount on damp skin. I use the original kind of cetaphil cleanser, for sensitive skin, with a blue label http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/images/graemlins/wave.gif
