A little about me\/my skin: Im 25F and have sensitive, acne prone, combination skin. My skin is very sensitive to fragrances, citrus and floral essential oils. Because of this I have become a skincare nerd and a reader of the ingredients list. I definitely still have a lot to learn about skin care but I hope this list helps some of you! Especially our fellow sensitive skin addicts. <\/p>\n
I tried to keep the review very short and straight forward, but if you want me to expand on any of the products let me know!

7. Mario Badescu Rose Facial Spray – 0\/10<\/strong>
Good:<\/em> It’s cheap.

Good:<\/em> I loved her organic Vermont farm story and the light gel cream texture.
Disadvantages:<\/em> fragrance, contains skin irritants such as alcohol, limonene, citral, citronellol, linalool and orange leaf extract.

Good:<\/em> Hydrating firm gel cream.

16. Typology Glycolic Acid 10% – 3\/10<\/strong>
Good:<\/em> Affordable (Typology is the same as the French version of Ordinary).
Evil<\/em>: Break me down, 10% glycolic acid is too strong for my skin.
17. Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi Purpose Dry Oil \u2013 9\/10<\/strong>
