Niacinimide sensitive

Courtesy of my sensitive-skinned husband, this passed his skin test when it had a tantrum- Etude SoonJung 2X Barrier Intensive Cream It's best for deeply nourishing barrier repair for dry or sensitive skin. Blends panthenol, madecassoside, and sunflower seed oil into a low-pH, hypoallergenic cream. I included the major players here but it depends how the whole blend is accepted by your skin.

I use the Neutrogena Hydro Boost cream and it’s niacinamide free but it has a very light fresh scent. I’m oily, acne prone and sensitive and I really like the texture! I normally don’t like fragrance stuff of my face but for this one I don’t mind. https://www.yesstyle.com/en/neutrogena-hydro-boost-hyaluronic-acid-nourishing-cream-50g/info.html/pid.1133056173?rco=VIIVIH10&utm_term=VIIVIH10&utm_medium=Influencer&mcg=influencer I’ve also used the Laneige Water Bank cream and it’s also niacinamide free and fragrance free! I also liked it but it’s for dry skin so a bit too heavy for my skin type but I did finish it all during winter time! https://www.yesstyle.com/en/laneige-water-bank-blue-hyaluronic-moisture-cream-50ml/info.html/pid.1127350889?rco=VIIVIH10&utm_term=VIIVIH10&utm_medium=Influencer&mcg=influencer

I went through my products and some of the things I’ve been researching with your specific needs in mind — no niacinamide, very sensitive + dry skin, but also mature skin. I completely understand why this is so difficult. 😭 I swear so many products made for dry/mature skin are basically a bottle of perfume disguised as a face cream, and then so many of the newer sensitive-skin products have niacinamide in everything. 😂 These are the products I’d personally look at: AESTURA - ATOBARRIER365 Capsule Toner - ATOBARRIER365 Hydro Essence - ATOBARRIER365 Cream Mist - ATOBARRIER365 Hydro Soothing Cream - ATOBARRIER365 Cream Cleanser AESTURA is one of the brands I trust the most when my skin is sensitive or my barrier is struggling. The Capsule Toner, Hydro Essence and Cream Mist are especially nice if you like layering hydration, while the Hydro Soothing Cream is a lighter moisturizer. I actually have several other AESTURA products that I absolutely LOVE, but I intentionally left them off your list because they contain niacinamide. I wanted to recommend things that actually fit your skin rather than just give you a list of my personal holy grails. 😂 ILLIYOON - Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream - Ceramide Ato Lotion - Ceramide Ato Soothing Gel I’ve used ILLIYOON a lot for barrier care too. For dry/mature skin, I’d probably look at the Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream first because it’s richer and more nourishing than the gel. ETUDE SoonJung - pH 5.5 Relief Toner - SoonJung barrier cream SoonJung is another line I really like for very sensitive skin. The cream may be a little too light/basic on its own if your mature skin is also very dry, but I still think it’s a great gentle option, especially with a hydrating toner or essence underneath. WELLAGE - Real Hyaluronic Blue 100 Ampoule I love this one when I want a LOT of straightforward hydration without throwing more actives at my skin. LANEIGE - Cream Skin Cerapeptide Refiner This is one I’d especially look at for dry, sensitive and mature skin. It’s much more nourishing than a typical watery toner, so I think it makes a lot of sense for your skin type. AVÈNE - XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cream - XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Balm - XeraCalm A.D Cleansing Oil - Cicalfate+ Repairing Protective Cream - Cicalfate+ Intensive Skin Recovery Serum - Tolérance Control Cream (this one I haven’t tried yet, but I really want to) I’ve actually used Avène since I was a child because I have atopic dermatitis. Their products for atopic/very dry skin were some of the only things my skin could tolerate when it was really reactive, so Avène is a brand I’ve trusted for a VERY long time. I still use and love the Cicalfate products now. I also used A-Derma Exomega Control Cream and Cleansing Oil for my atopic skin and they worked really well for me, but I’m not recommending the Exomega moisturizers to you because the current formulas contain niacinamide. LA ROCHE-POSAY - Cicaplast Baume B5+ Another one I’d look at when your skin is dry, irritated and needs something more protective. It’s definitely more of an SOS/barrier balm than a fancy anti-aging moisturizer, but sometimes that’s exactly what reactive skin needs. ZEROID — these are on my list to try - Soothing Cream (blue) — niacinamide-free; this is the one I’d look at for very sensitive/reactive skin. - Intensive Cream (green) — niacinamide-free; this is the one I’d look at for dry/very dry or barrier-compromised skin, and probably the more interesting one if dryness is a big issue for your mature skin. I haven’t personally tried ZEROID yet, so I can’t give you a proper review, but these are products I’m planning to try on my own very reactive skin. Dear, Klairs — also on my list to try - Blue Calming Cream — niacinamide-free; the one I’d look at for sensitive/irritated skin. - Blue Youth Activating Drop — niacinamide-free; this one especially interests me because of the EGF/FGF + peptide approach, so I think it’s interesting for mature skin too. - Fundamental Ampule Mist — niacinamide-free; another nice hydrating option for dry/sensitive skin. I haven’t personally tried these Klairs products yet either, so I don’t want to pretend I can give you a proper review of them. They’re products I’ve researched because I’m planning to try them myself. If you want, I can actually try the ZEROID/Klairs products first and let you know how my skin reacts, what the textures are like, whether I notice any actual results and whether I think they’re worth buying. That way you can hear a first-hand experience before spending money on them. 😂 I do have quite a few other products that I absolutely love, but some of them contain niacinamide, so I intentionally didn’t recommend those to you. And if I realize I forgot something or come across another niacinamide-free product that’s either one of my holy grails or something I’m planning to try, I’ll add it here and let you know! I’m always looking at new products anyway, especially things for sensitive/barrier-compromised skin, so there’s a very good chance I’ll suddenly remember another one after posting this. 😂 And if your barrier is really reactive right now, I’d still introduce anything new one product at a time. Even something that looks perfect ingredient-wise can behave completely differently once it’s actually on your skin. ❤️

Hey, a quick reminder that niacinamide can be disclaimed in many different names so I would recommend send the ingredients list to any AI and ask if it’s niacinamide free because I have seen some recommendations around here that AI says that are niacinamide in it (probably in a small percentage)! So if you really can’t handle it please double check it first okay?! Stay safe ☺️🥰

You and I have the same skin. Niacinamide overload sent me to rosacea jail because that ingredient is in freaking everything. I spent about 4 days using just tap water to cleanse, Avene thermal water to hydrate, and then sealed that up with vaseline. Now I'm using the Etude Soonjung line right while I wait for other products to arrive. It all has a low ingredient load, with the creams having the most. So if you need to give your skin a break, then I recommend it. The foam cleanser doesn't strip my skin at all AND it's delivering on its promise to reduce pore size. The toner and micellar water are the stars for me. I have the panthensoside (sp?) cica cream. It's probably my least favorite of the line because it leaves a film (on purpose) and it's not my fave (and may be causing an acne breakout on my chin since some of the ingredients are not acne safe). I'd rather go back to using CYoung's Hana cream, but I want to finish a 2 week trial of the line. My skin is too tender yet to throw in a serum, so no recs there yet.
