Brief Answer:
Regarding sensitive skin care products

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If you have sensitive skin I suggest you to use a sunscreen, especially a physical sunscreen with either zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. They are bland and unlikely to cause any irritation or allergy. Moreover I suggest you to use a mild face wash e.g Cetaphil gentle cleansing lotion which is especially suited for sensitive skin. In addition you may also use a bland moisturizer such as that with colloidal oat meal, once every night. Likewise a mild shampoo like Sebamed everyday shampoo or XXXXXXX and Johnson's baby shampoo are good options for you.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
