Bonus points, per the experts: For combination skin, our experts recommend looking for a moisturizer that actually hydrates the dry parts of your skin without aggravating the oily or acne-prone areas. This moisturizer, with a balance of light hydrating ingredients (like squalane) and moisturizing butters, is up to the challenge.

Just so you know: This moisturizer does contain a few butters—shea butter and jojoba butter—that some people who are acne-prone may find to be comedogenic.

One tester said: “This stuff is awesome! Out of the jar it has a heavy bronze-orange tint that I thought would look awful, but when you rub it in, it turns sheer and just leaves a beautifully glowy, dewy sheen without adding any slick or shine. My new no-makeup-makeup morning moisturizer.”

This lightweight, simple formula is packed with hydrating, soothing, and moisturizing ingredients that will calm sensitive skin without overwhelming it. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: This moisturizer is formulated without essential oils, fragrances, or dyes, all of which our experts suggest those with sensitive skin avoid. On the other hand, it does have moisturizing squalane as well as soothing oat extract.

One tester said: “This goes on with a nourishing gel texture and instantly feels moisturizing and calming, likely thanks to the oatmeal. I think this would be a perfect summer moisturizer! It}s so light but still moisturizing and feels great on my sensitive skin.”

Based around retinol and vitamin C, two powerhouse antiaging ingredients, this moisturizer is a great option for those looking for a hydrating product that can also help manage some signs of aging, like fine lines. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: If aging skin is your top skin concern, the dermatologists SELF spoke to definitely recommend looking for retinol-containing products like this one. They also recommend looking for moisturizing ingredients (like hyaluronic acid) and antioxidants (like vitamin C), both of which this moisturizer has.

Just so you know: The experts caution that, along with retinol, sunscreen is the most important thing you can use for aging skin. And SPF becomes even more important when using retinol. So know that if you use this moisturizer during the day, you need to follow it with a broad-spectrum sunscreen containing at least SPF 30.

One tester said: “Retinol and vitamin C are game changers for skin, so I thought I knew going in what to expect, but this stuff was even better than I thought it would be. First of all, although delightful, both of those ingredients can be irritating, and this went on smooth and easily with no tingling or redness at all. And the difference was immediate. My skin looked dewy, smooth, glowy.”

Our reviewers loved the light-yet-moisturizing texture and mild scent of this SPF moisturizer. It also contains antioxidants to further help protect skin. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: Sunscreen is a must for everyone, the experts tell SELF. And it should be broad spectrum (meaning it protects against UVA and UVB rays) and at least SPF 30, which this one is.

Just so you know: This moisturizer uses chemical sunscreen ingredients, like avobenzone, as well as fragrance and fruit extracts, which some people with sensitive skin may find irritating.

One tester said: “This gentle cream feels like nothing in the hand, but immediately after application, you can feel its moisturizing effects kick in. Leaves skin feeling soft and with a lovely but very mild scent. This has become my go-to morning moisturizer!”

The particles in this deliciously scented scrub are big enough to give that satisfying “scrub” feeling but small enough not to be too harsh. Plus, the addition of hyaluronic acid helps keep this exfoliating scrub from drying out the skin. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: The experts definitely recommend those with oily skin opt for some form of exfoliation, whether that’s with physical exfoliants like scrubs or chemical exfoliants. With the addition of glycolic and lactic acids, this product actually does both.

One tester said: “I was skeptical about this scrub but actually really loved the watermelon-candy scent that it has and overall really like using it. The grains were small and not too harsh. I used this a bunch and found I kept reaching for it for the smell and the smooth feeling afterward. I did feel like it did a good job of making my skin smoother and more prepped for the rest of my routine.”

This rinse-off exfoliating mask contains a powerful and highly concentrated combination of alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxy acids. When used regularly, these ingredients can reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. See full ingredients list here.

The antiaging retinol is the star of this night cream, which also contains niacinamide, an ingredient that can help even out skin tone and reinforce the skin’s moisture barrier. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: This cream contains retinol, an all-around winner for managing signs of aging, our experts say. But it also contains hydrating ingredients, like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate (a different form of hyaluronic acid), which are also important for aging skin because it tends to be dry as well.

One tester said: “This was a nice over-the-counter retinol option for those with sensitive skin that can’t tolerate prescription strength. It absorbed quickly into my skin, which I liked a lot. My face felt taut before bed and looked smooth the next morning. Didn’t irritate my skin even when used multiple nights in a row, so seems to be gentle enough for daily use.”

Bonus points, per the experts: There’s a nice balance in this product of tried-and-true moisturizing and hydrating ingredients (like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and dimethicone) and trendier, more natural ingredients that also hydrate and soothe, such as oatmeal, honey, and centella asiatic extract. Our experts recommended all of these ingredients for dry, sensitive skin.

Just so you know: This cream does contain dyes and fragrance, which those with dry or sensitive skin may be irritated by.

One tester said: “This night cream has taken me to a level of bougie that I feel like I can never return from. A little bit of product goes a long way (which is great for jar longevity), and my skin felt really smooth and glowy the next morning. Since it’s an expensive product, I’m not sure if I would use it every day, but it’s definitely a nice addition for a treat-yo-self, self-care night. I really enjoyed it!”

Just so you know: This cream does contain tea tree oil, which some people find irritates their skin.

One tester said: “This overnight mask is amazing! Thick, creamy, and scent-free, the mask was immediately cooling and moisturizing on application. I didn’t love that my skin felt tacky after it was fully absorbed, but I was sold the moment I rinsed it off the next morning. My skin was baby soft, and the redness I typically deal with was reduced. I would use it every night if I could!”

This deeply hydrating and nourishing wash-off mask is centered around the moisturizing powers of avocado oil but actually contains a whole host of hydrating ingredients to soothe dry skin. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: Those with dry skin may see benefits from both hydrating ingredients and more occlusive ingredients that seal that moisture into the skin, the experts told SELF. And this mask comes with both humectants (like glycerin) and avocado oil, which will make sure that hydration is actually absorbed into the skin.

Just so you know: This mask contains several botanical extracts, which can be irritating.

One tester said: “I used this mask before bed. It was easy to wash off with warm water, and I didn’t feel stripped or dry. In fact it’s like my face had a little boost of moisture that lasted me till the next morning. I even forgot to moisturize after this mask and felt okay!”

Our reviewers were pleasantly surprised by the power of this drugstore mask, which they felt got deep into pores to clean them out and help manage acne and oiliness. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: Those with oily skin are most likely to get benefits from a bentonite clay mask like this, SELF explained previously, which can help remove oil and exfoliate the skin. In addition to the clay, this one contains avocado oil and shea butter to keep it from being too drying or irritating.

One tester said: “This product is magic. I felt like it was doing a lot of deep cleaning that most masks don’t get to. I also saw skin improvement after not just the first day, but two days after! The smell is a bit chemical in nature, but I am happy to overlook that for the great results!”

This exfoliator only sits on the skin as a mask for 30 to 60 seconds, but it gets a lot done in that little time. The beads give that classic scrubby feeling, but do so gently. And the jojoba and apricot oils moisturize the skin so it doesn’t feel dry afterward. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: Those with combination skin need to be careful with exfoliants, our experts say, because if the products are too harsh they can exacerbate the dry areas of their skin. But this one remains gentle, thanks to the moisturizing oils and fine-grain exfoliating particles.

Just so you know: One of our reviewers felt the warming sensation this mask provides was a little too harsh on their skin.

One tester said: “Great product. The texture was rich and rough enough to exfoliate, but not *so* rough that it felt like it was scraping my face. Immediately after use, my skin was smooth and glowy. It’s a great product to use at night if you really want to wipe off the day, remove makeup, dirt, et cetera. It really felt like I had gained the brightness of a mask, without the extra time spent.”

With exfoliating salicylic acid, this cooling mask can help even out the tone and texture of your skin—gently. It also contains calming rose water and hydrating glycerin to keep it from being too abrasive. See full ingredients list here.

A gentle-yet-effective hydrating eye cream that contains a mix of moisturizing ingredients and antioxidants to help brighten the undereye area and reduce puffiness. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: Because it doesn’t contain fragrance or other typically irritating skin-care ingredients (like retinol), this hydrating eye cream would be great for sensitive skin or anyone who finds the area around their eyes to be particularly irritable.

Just so you know: Although generally a sensitive-skin-friendly formula, this eye cream does contain a few fruit extracts that may be irritating to some people.

One tester said: “Finally, an eye cream that doesn’t make my sensitive eyes water like crazy! I’ve long been an eye-cream skeptic because my skin reacts so poorly to many of them, but this sensitive solution works like a charm, and it’s light enough to use in the morning after moisturizer. It wakes up my eyes and makes them look immediately brighter.”

This cost-effective brightening eye cream contains a proprietary compound that our reviewers felt made gradual but noticeable differences in hyperpigmentation around the eyes. It also works as an illuminating primer for concealer. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: Even in people without sensitive skin, the undereye area tends to be sensitive. So it’s important to use gentle or calming ingredients in this area, like the glycerin and centella asiatica this cream contains.

One tester said: “I’ve had very dark undereye circles my entire life, so I have pretty realistic expectations when it comes to eye creams. This one actually lightened my undereye area immediately. Not so much that I didn’t need concealer, but enough to feel like it was working and that it could make a bigger difference over time. Also, the applicator is silvery smooth and had a nice cooling effect on the area.”

For those looking to manage fine lines and other signs of aging around the eye area, this cream is a great bet. It’s packed with botanical oils, extracts, and butters for intense moisture and antioxidant power. See full ingredients list here.

Just so you know: Some botanical extracts can be irritating to sensitive skin, especially around the eye area, which tends to be even more sensitive.

One tester said: “This eye balm was one of the few products that seemed to make a visible impact overnight. My skin felt moisturized, and dare I say even looked a little less tired the next day.”

Our reviewers raved about the hydrating powers of this lightly scented mist, which boasts a few different hydrating and moisturizing ingredients that are usually saved for skin-care products like creams and serums. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: A face mist isn’t an essential beauty purchase, but those with skin that tends to be dry may enjoy the burst of hydration they provide. This one contains hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides, which are all ingredients our derms recommend to keep skin healthy and hydrated.

Just so you know: Dry skin can often also be sensitive to certain ingredients, like the fragrance and botanical extracts this mist contains.

One tester said: “This spray is very pleasant to spritz on for extra moisture after cleansing or toning. It has a sweet cherry blossom fragrance to it, but nothing overpowering, and just the right balance of moisture. For a ‘dewy glow mist,’ it also walks the walk. I notice the subtlest hint of glow on my skin after I use this, and I can feel a layer of moisture a couple of minutes after using it, so it’s a nice skin pick-me-up that lasts.”

The calming Cicapair line from Dr. Jart is a beauty editor favorite, especially for those with sensitive, redness-prone skin. So it’s no surprise that our reviewers raved about the brand’s soothing face mist. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: This product comes with glycerin and hyaluronic acid, two humectant ingredients our experts recommend you look for. And the mist is fine enough that it won’t make the oilier parts of your skin feel greasy.

One tester said: “This mist feels so refreshing! After a few spritzes of the product, I feel rejuvenated to take on a new project or task. The ginger-and-kombucha scent is the perfect energizing aromatherapy without being overpowering. The spray nozzle gives a uniform broad mist, so you feel hydration evenly on your face.”

With a hydrating formula and enough tint to cancel out any white cast, this mineral sunscreen from a classic drugstore brand was a real winner for our reviewers. See full ingredients list here.

Plus, it has broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection. If your dry skin is also on the sensitive side, know that our experts recommend you stick with mineral sunscreen ingredients, like those in this product.

One tester said: “Great sunscreen! Texture feels smooth and moisturizing upon application. Also feels as if it will last all day! Loved the sheer tint as it wasn’t too light or dark and could blend easily under makeup.”

Bonus points, per the experts: Our experts recommend that everyone use a sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection of at least SPF 30—and this sunscreen absolutely hits the mark. It contains mineral sunscreen ingredients, specifically zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which are great for sensitive skin as well. Plus, the tinted version comes with iron oxides, which can help protect skin against visible light.

Just so you know: Despite the matte effect, this sunscreen does contain a fair amount of oils and butters (like sunflower seed oil, jojoba oil, and cocoa seed butter), which can contribute to acne in some people.

One tester said: “It goes on very smoothly, and I like the matte finish because I’m a greasy girl. It provides light coverage, so I could totally see wearing this on an active day when I’m outside a lot but still want to look fierce in photos. I wore it working from home on a very sunny porch all day, and it was great. I don’t know if it’s enough to totally replace a foundation, but it’s def a nice first layer. Plus, I feel responsible using sunscreen.”

This is a lightweight liquid formula sunscreen, which means it’s easy to apply on pretty much any skin type without clinging to dry skin or exacerbating oiliness. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: In addition to the fully mineral SPF ingredients, this sunscreen contains peptides and antioxidants, which can help manage some signs of aging, our experts say. If your combination skin also has some wrinkles, fine lines, or dark spots, this is a great choice.

One tester said: “ISDIN’s tinted sunscreen is amazing. Not only does this ultra-lightweight formula have SPF 50, making it great for daily use, it is also one of the best skin tints I’ve used, period. And that’s not even its primary purpose! I wore this over serum and moisturizer, and it evened out my skin tone beautifully while still allowing my natural skin to shine through. I cannot say enough good things.”

This sunscreen was created specifically to be ultra-sheer and, therefore, work on a wide variety of skin tones. It also contains a ton of moisturizing ingredients, such as sunflower, jojoba, and avocado oils, that will leave skin feeling glowy and healthy. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: This sunscreen is broad-spectrum and SPF 30, which means it meets the two biggest “musts” from our experts. In particular, this is a chemical sunscreen, meaning that it will be easily massaged into the skin without leaving a white case behind. Our experts say that generally that also means chemical sunscreens tend to work well for oily skin. But the moisturizing ingredients in this one—as well as the calming aloe—could make it a good option for skin on the dry side as well.

Just so you know: Some ingredients in here, such as cocoa butter, shea butter, and various oils, can be comedogenic to those with acne-prone skin.

One tester said: “Amazing sunscreen, one of the best I’ve ever tried! Texture is great, feels moisturizing for the face yet doesn’t feel heavy throughout the day. Feels natural, like it helps your skin! It is also very long lasting. I would highly recommend!”

Looking for a sheer, gentle mineral sunscreen that actually feels great on your sensitive skin? Look no further than this SPF 56 stick sunscreen from Skinbetter. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: Sunscreen is obviously important for everyone, but if your skin is sensitive, our experts really recommend opting for a mineral sunscreen like this one over a chemical one. The ingredients in chemical sunscreens tend to be irritating for those with sensitive skin.

One tester said: “This is…amazing???? It’s a stick, but it’s super creamy. It’s a 100% mineral sunscreen, but somehow actually sheer. It doesn’t seem to break me out or aggravate my rosacea (most sunscreens do at least one).”

A lightweight mineral sunscreen that still manages to be moisturizing? It’s hard to say no. This one comes with the added benefits of niacinamide, a B vitamin that can help manage hyperpigmentation. Plus, it’s available in both tinted and nontinted versions. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: Koa’s sunscreen relies on zinc oxide, a mineral sunscreen ingredient, which makes it a great option for sensitive skin. Their formula is also free of fragrances and dyes, which is another win for those with dry, aging, or sensitive skin. Finally, this sunscreen contains niacinamide, which can help even out the tone of your skin and bolster your skin’s moisture barrier, along with skin protecting dimethicone, which mature skin will appreciate.

Just so you know: This sunscreen is water-based, but it does contain dimethicone, which may feel too heavy on oilier skin.

One tester said: “I LOVED this sunscreen—I didn’t think I would. It is thick like traditional sunscreen, but the weird sunscreen hue that shows up as gray on Black skin quickly goes away. It’s also small enough to put in your purse for easy reapplication.”

If you’re trying to manage hyperpigmentation, like melasma, it’s especially important to wear sunscreen every day. And this tinted moisturizer with SPF is a great option—especially for those who want some extra protection. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: Our derms especially recommend that those with hyperpigmentation look for a sunscreen like this one that contains iron oxides, which can help protect against the effects of visible light from devices.

One tester said: “I loved using this sunscreen! The scent being so lovely (lemony and fresh) encouraged me to be more diligent in daily use, even in the winter. The color of this sunscreen is a muddy brown, which I thought might set weird on my skin, but it worked really well on my dark complexion and blended in well after rubbing it in.”

This facial oil is a great combination of moisturizing squalane oil as well as a few powerhouse plant oils, such as jojoba, grape seed, and sunflower oils. Our reviewers felt this oil got the job done—at a great price. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: Dry skin is most likely to get the benefits of a facial oil, which can help lock moisture into the skin, experts tell us. In addition to trendy cannabis sativa oil, this one contains some classics, like jojoba oil, grape seed oil, and sunflower seed oil as well as squalane.

Just so you know: Because dry skin can also be prone to sensitivity, know that this oil does contain a fair amount of plant extracts that may be irritating.

One tester said: “I really like e.l.f. products, and I think for the price point this is an a-okay one. It comes in a semi-frosted vial, which is great for keeping it fresh. It did feel a little bit greasy and took longer for it to sink in with my vitamin C serum. But once it did, I felt glowy and moisturized all day.”

Our reviewers appreciated that this product moisturized their skin without leaving them feeling too oily. Plus, the retinol in this oil can gradually help reduce some signs of aging. See full ingredients list here.

Bonus points, per the experts: The combination of moisturizing ingredients with retinol in this oil is just what aging skin needs to feel fresh and healthy, the experts tell us.

One tester said: “This seems like a good place to start for anyone who has been reluctant to try face oils for fears they will be too greasy. The oil had a pretty light feel, not too thick or viscous like some oils can be, and it absorbed quickly into my skin. It felt similar to a dry oil and did not leave my skin looking too shiny or feeling too sticky. It had a light, almost almond scent, and since it came in a dropper bottle, it was pretty easy to control how much product you got.”
