Best Cream for Sensitive Skin

[henkverhaar]

Most if not all soap n creams are drying by their very nature it's just a question of how drying.

If you truly have sensitive skin (most join here thinking they have) fragrance is the biggest culprit for a reaction, then you should probably go for an unscented product.

ACK

Am I the teachers pet now Henk? :lol: The French soaps with added Shea butter are decent is that just a case of producing better skin feel rather than increasing moisture?

ACK?

Probably. Or less degreasing, by virtue of 'dilution'.

ACK?

pseudo-assembly code to denote acknowledgement/approval...

my favourite two for sensitive skin are:

-taylor of old bond street - jermyn collection for sensitive skin (great smell, great cream and zero alergens etc in it)

-truefitt & Hill - ultimate comfort (as above)

i use both myself

+ 1 !

French supermarkets do tubes of Williams cream for sensitive skin. Costs about the same as the ubiquitous Palmolive. Excellent stuff with hardly any fragrance, just a slight clean, soapy scent.

another oddball suggestion

try Ingrams.

i got a tube on holiday recently, and in spite of it containing menthol, i find that i get completely irritation free, smooth shaves with no rash, no burn and no irritation from the cream or the shave. For about £1.50 a tube, it would be worth trying.

the smell is a bit.. blah!! but performance is great.
