James Welsh's Sensitive Skin Picks: What He Rates and What He Skips

"This is a beautiful hydrating and moisturizing essence that for me is kind of like the evolution of Lancome cream skin refiner, like it's what Lancome should try to be now. It just does an amazing job at making you feel the hydration within your skin whilst leaving your skin nicely moisturized without feeling greasy and heavy. We have the tea essence in here which is a great antioxidant, we have cintella in here as well which is nice and calming, and some nice oils. What I love about this is like this will replace a moisturizer for me in the summer. It's heavy enough to moisturize your skin, put sunscreen over and be very very comfortable whether you have dry skin or oily skin. In fact if you have oily skin you would love this as a moisturizer replacement. I absolutely love it. I've already repurchased it twice already. I got two more new bottles and I'm going to open them and keep using them as my key essence. The essence is full of serums as well which I absolutely love for my skin all year round, all the time, especially as I experiment with a lot of skincare."

"Their Honey Mask is a product that I'm going to love like forever."

"This is probably one of my most staple products ever. As in like, it's always coming back and forth in my routine. It's always a cleanser I fall back on. In fact, when I'm testing new products, it's one of the cleansers I use because I know how well my skin reacts to it. Great for when your skin is stressed out, you want to focus on maintaining the skin barrier. Matcha for antioxidants. We've got hemp seed oil in here as well. Nice fatty acids, a good amount of glycerin, keeping those hydration levels up. I think that this is actually one of the first really non-stripping cleansers I ever used way back in the day."

"I love their Panthenol Essence Toner, it's got a load of soothing, hydrating, and barrier repair ingredients in it. I talk about this to death, this is my second bottle, this is now my go-to line for calming my irritated skin, for helping with redness, healing a damaged skin barrier and strengthening my skin barrier, this in conjunction with the cream is amazing for my skin."

"This is just one of the nicest most hydrating cleansers I've ever used and I don't usually team the term hydrating with a cleanser but when there's 50% glycerin in a cleanser it's obviously going to be hydrating. It's such nice texture. There's aloe, there's oat extract, arginine as well so all soothing and helping to support the skin barrier. You get your money's worth with this cleanser."

"I don't care what anyone says or what your opinion is on Hailey Bieber as a person. This is good. This is a proper occlusive style balm moisturizer, kind of their version of the La Roche-Posay Cica Plast, but in a much more cosmetically elegant way. It has a hyaluronic acid complex and polyglutamic acid which is so nicely hydrating, murumuru butter, and ceramides for barrier support. It's designed to seal everything in overnight and it's really not that heavy as it sounds. When my barrier feels compromised or I've traveled or my skin is dry from travel, this is the final step in my evening routine. It's kind of buttery, not suffocating, and I wake up with really nice soft plump dewy skin. When I use it I really love having remnants of product on my skin the next day because in reality I wake up and go straight out for a dog walk and if I wake up dry the cold weather will dry my skin out more. I've purchased it time and time again because I'm not on Rhode's PR list anymore."
