What makes a good moisturizer for dry sensitive skin

Moisturizers with hyaluronic acid and glycerin help hydrate your dry sensitive skin, while formulas with ceramides and squalane help soothe tightness and reinforce your skin barrier. Products with centella asiatica extract and niacinamide may also help calm redness and smooth out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
