    "I love Avène Tolerance Extreme Cream. I love it. [...] It's very hydrating. It's non-comedogenic. No fragrance, no alcohol, no essential oils. This one is a keeper."
    ✓Yay
    "One of my all-time favorite moisturizers for sensitive skin and one of the most popular moisturizers among my patients is the Avène Tolerance Extreme Cream. This moisturizer is quite a thick cream, but one of the things I love about it is that it is great for post procedures. For my patients who just had microneedling or they had a laser done and their skin is going to be ultra sensitive, I can feel very confident recommending this."
    Top Pick: moisturizer for sensitive skin
    ✓Yay
    "This is partly possible because of the unique sterile packaging so they don't need a bunch of fluff preservatives for this product. These ingredients are all about maintaining the skin microbiome, which is very important in hypersensitive skin. [...] So if the simple cheaper options like CeraVe and Vanicream are not working for your sensitive skin, definitely give these a try. I do not think that you will be disappointed here at all."
