Best of Beauty 2025: Sensitive Winners

Aveeno Daily Face Cleanser Foaming Gel lifts away build-up from the day—dirt, oil, heat-wave sweat, even the stubbornest eye makeup—with oat flour and niacinamide.

When our most easily irritated of testers asked for refills of the Peach Slices Redness Relief Calming Cream—packed with panthenol, green algae extract, and glycerin—we instantly knew the inflammation-busting moisturizer was a winner.

More viscous than your average face mist, Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream Mist offers immediate relief to tight, thirsty skin, restoring and replenishing your skin barrier with every spritz of the ceramide- and lipid-laced formula.

Kiehl’s Ultra Body Mega Moisture Squalane Cream serves up heavy-duty, fragrance-free hydration for even the most delicate flowers among us. The fast-absorbing formula includes dermatologists’ holy trinity for dry skin: humectants, emollients, and occlusives. Together, they nip dry, tight skin in the bud.

Dial Antibacterial & Sensitive Liquid Hand Soap with Aloe received a round of applause from our most sensitive testers for its no-frills formula, which leaves out things that might irritate an easily triggered epidermis—dyes, essential oils, sodium lauryl sulfates—and replaces them with gentle cleansers like lauramine oxide and soothing aloe.

Typically known for its anti-chafing powers, Gold Bond is now leaning into other forms of skin-soothers—and nailing it. In addition to anti-inflammatory oat extract, the Healing Sensitive Daily Body & Face Lotion uses aloe, hydroxyethyl urea, shea butter extract, and three types of vitamins (B, C, and E) to provide long-lasting comfort.

Safe for those with a skin condition like eczema, the Seen Body Wash, Fragrance Free may not smell like a tropical island paradise, but its luscious lather and skin-softening formula still make for a luxurious shower experience.

You don’t have to choose between maximum cleansing results or hive-free skin with Tide Free & Gentle Liquid Laundry Detergent. Its gentle, fragrance-free formula leaves even the dirtiest of clothes completely spotless.

This delicate duo won’t just keep your scalp soft and healthy. Our testers loved that CeraVe’s Gentle Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner made their hair as supple and shiny as formulas triple the price and with triple the ingredients.
