A question to my sensitive-skinned sisters out there: what product(s) do you use? Every since Oil of Olay randomly discontinued their sensitive-skin soaps, I've been trying to find a good alternative.

"Use Dove," is generally the advice I receive. However, despite their Real Beauty campaign, they (Unilever) also sell skin bleaching creams overseas. That's just not something I'm willing to support, even by proxy, so Dove is out. Avene makes a non-soap cold cream bar that I really like, but it's a little pricey, and bar soap just isn't ideal for the showers at the gym.

Anyone have any suggestions, store bought, homemade, or otherwise?


In other news: I have a passport and a plane ticket! I now have the legal ability and practical means to leave the country. Also, perhaps more importantly, to reenter it.

I... just buy the generic Dove equivalent. Granted, I don't live in Canada, so there's only so much advice I can toss around, but it's been my experience that most stores tend to have their generic equivalent to things like that, and usually say "Compare to 'Insert Brand Name Here.' And they tend to be not only less expensive, but come in larger quantities. More bang for your buck, so to speak.

I've had patchy success with the generic versions -- sometimes I find they have more fragrance or additives. I shall have to keep plowing through them.
