Team IMAGE share their favourite products for sensitive skin
Made with natural-derived ingredients, Aveeno is designed to suit every skin type. Here are our favourite products at the moment.
When your skin feels good, you feel good in your skin, so you want to know that the products you reach for in your skincare cabinet have proven effective results.
Team IMAGE are fans of pared-back but powerful skincare, with natural ingredients like prebiotic oat which our grandmothers and great-grandmothers have used for skin nourishment for years past.
Aveeno promises that potency. Made with soothing oat and hydrating ceramides, to name but a few, their ingredients are perfect for every skin type, including sensitive skin. From face care to body lotions and oils, here are our top picks from Aveeno.
Aveeno® Calm + Restore® Nourishing Oat Cleanser
“I seem to be hurtling (relentlessly) through my late forties and every year my skin gets more and more sensitive. In the last few years, I really am making a much more concerted effort to look after my skin and stick to a good routine. Advice that I received many years ago from a leading dermatologist has always stuck with me: she explained that I didn’t need to spend huge money on a daily cleanser, just make sure it was a quality brand suitable for sensitive skin and then spend on your active face serums etc.
“So I’ve been experimenting with a few brands and this Aveeno® Calm + Restore® Nourishing Oat Cleanser is a total winner! My skin feels lovely and fresh after using it and not at all irritated – and extra points go to the handy pump dispenser. It’s so easy to use.” – Lizzie Gore-Grimes, Editor-In-Chief
Aveeno® Daily Moisturising Body Lotion
“I use the Aveeno® Daily Moisturising Body Lotion – it’s a miracle worker for dry skin. After exhausting, crazy expensive products, this literally is the one and only solution. Highly recommend it.” – Clodagh Edwards, Chief Executive Officer
“In my late twenties I developed dermatitis on my neck and face which would appear overnight but unfortunately didn’t disappear quite as quickly! I would wake with swollen eyes and irritated patches of skin which didn’t react well with my skincare or make-up routine.
“Shortly around this time I discovered the Calm + Restore™ range and decided to test it since oats were a large ingredient in the products. The Aveeno Calm + Restore™ Triple Oat Serum really calmed and soothed my skin while the Aveeno Calm + Restore™ Oat Gel Moisturiser hydrated my skin in a lightweight manner which is exactly what I needed. I really trust and rely on this range and would recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin.” – Simone Kennedy, Senior Event & Partnerships Executive
“As someone who struggles with breakouts, I’ve tried an array of toners on my skin, but they were always too harsh, stripping my skin of its natural oils. The Aveeno Calm + Restore™ Soothing Toning Lotion is a revelation! Dubbed a ‘toning lotion’ it does a toner’s job of removing make-up and impurities, while also moisturising skin for a soft finish.
“A newer addition to Aveeno’s face care, the Aveeno Calm + Restore™ Re-Hydrating Night Cream is a dream for dry skin. This rich, velvety cream works to nourish skin overnight, so I wake each morning with hydrated skin (even if I forget to consume my daily water intake the day before!).” – Shayna Sappington, Senior Branded Content Writer
“I suffer from seasonal eczema and I always found my skin felt tight and sometimes itchy, especially after a shower or a swim. A few years ago, I picked up Aveeno® Daily Moisturising Body Wash and it is probably the most consistently restocked item in my bathroom. I never experience that tightness anymore and I have gotten my sensitive skin friends on it too.
“Babies always smell good but oh my goodness, do they smell good after an Aveeno Baby Calming Comfort™ Bedtime® Bath & Wash! It’s lavender scented, foams up perfectly for bubble beard making and doesn’t leave a residue, which is great because it usually ends up splashed all over my bathroom walls.” – Lauren Heskin, Editor, IMAGE magazine
“Then, I follow on with the Daily Moisturising After Shower Mist. It is super practical for anyone on the go as it dries instantly and feels really lightweight!” – Emily O’Neill, Marketing Account Executive
