CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Bar
CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Bar contains powerful ingredients that hydrate the skin without irritating it: ceramides which help restore and maintain the skin’s natural barrier, and hyaluronic acid which helps retain the skin’s natural moisture. And like other CeraVe favorites, this cleanser bar also features their patented Multivesicular Emulsion (MVE) technology—a system that continually releases moisturizing ingredients for 24-hour hydration. This is also dermatologist-recommended if you suffer mild symptoms of eczema.

Dove Sensitive Beauty Bar
Unlike ordinary soaps which strip the skin of its natural moisture and cause sensitive skin to feel dry, red, and irritated, Dove Sensitive Beauty Bar is specially made to take care of your delicate skin. With its fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and dermatologically tested formula, this bestseller provides the mildness and nurture that you need for your sensitive skin. And like the classic Dove soaps, Dove Sensitive has ¼ moisturizing cream and mild cleansers to help protect skin’s moisture and leave it silky smooth.

Human Nature Lavender Mint Cleansing Bar
Made with 100% natural essential oils and glycerin, Human Nature Lavender Mint Cleansing Bar is your best bet if you want your skin to feel well taken care of (the lavender scent is just so ~calming~). This locally produced cleansing bar is free from Butylated Hydroxytoluene or BHT (a stabilizer used to avoid changes in odor, color, and texture of soaps) and Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid or EDTA (an ingredient that prevents soaps from becoming moldy), which tend to irritate those who have sensitive skin. Even though it doesn’t have BHT and EDTA, expect no less because this one gently cleanses the skin and leaves it soft, hydrated, and smelling fresh!
