Sensitive Rosacea prone skin
I come from the whitest of white ancestry.. English, Irish, and Norwegian just to name a few. I don’t tan, I freckle. I have very sensitive skin with Rosacea. Finding products that don’t irritate my skin can be trying. I have used the sensitive skin Cetaphil face cleanser for a while now. It leaves your skin feeling soft.. not squeaky clean. The only problem I have with it, is that it doesn’t take off my eye makeup very well. Enter CeraVe. I just decided to give it a try. It’s priced about the same as the Cetaphil.. also available at your basic drug store. I got the CeraVe foaming face wash. It definitely gives your skin more of that squeaky clean feeling.. and it totally takes off my eye makeup. I have not had one single breakout from using it either. So if you have sensitive skin and are looking for a good basic face wash give it a try!
We’re back!
