Moisturizers for sensitive skin aren’t hard to find, but it is difficult to know which ones are actually gentle enough for sensitive skin, and which are still truly too harsh. As someone with extremely sensitive skin, I’ve tried dozens of them, and I’ve been able to narrow the field quite a bit. A quick peek at Sephora tells me most of them are online, too, so they’re really easy to buy! Here are 7 phenomenally great moisturizers for delicately sensitive skin.

6. Philosophy Hope in a Jar for Dry Skin

This is hands-down my own personal favorite moisturizer for sensitive skin, or even just for really dry winter skin. It’s lush and rich and thick, but it won’t clog your pores or leave you feeling greasy. LOVE IT!
