Imagine a night cream as a cozy blanket for your face. For sensitive skin, it needs to be made of soft cotton, not scratchy wool. Look for formulas that are fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and non-comedogenic—fancy words for “won’t make you look like a tomato or clog your pores.”
Avoid the usual suspects: alcohol, essential oils, and anything that sounds like a science experiment (looking at you, “parfum”). Instead, hunt for soothing superheroes like ceramides, niacinamide, and oat extract. These guys are like the friend who brings you soup when you’re sick—comforting and effective.
And remember: patch test. Yes, it’s annoying. But it’s better than a face that says, “Surprise! I’m now a strawberry!”
