Moisturizer for sensitive skin

[sanrita]

I have very sensitive skin. I have been using Aveeno but it seems to react. I noticed the Aveeno has Alcohol in it which might be the problem.

Can I use Aloe as a moisturizer? The pure Aloe doesn't have alcohol .If not what would you recommend ???

Every alcohol are not the same. The irritable alcohol is 'SD alcohol' which means denaturated ethyl alcohol. The other alcohols like 'Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol' are just waxes and very benign and non comedogenic in general.Yea you can use Aloe as a moisturizer.

I've tried Aveeno and it's one of the best products out there! It's manufactured by Johnson & Johnson so I trust the brand. I never noticed the alcohol content but I don't check the label anymore knowing that what goes on to my skin has been tested already. I think Aveeno has a sensitive skin line? You might want to scour the stores for products from that line. :)

if your face is extremely sensitive, i suggest going natural--why don't you use a dab of olive oil as a moisturizer? just dilute it with a little bit of water. my mom does this sometimes because her skin is super sensitive.
