Best moisturizers and moisturizing serums for dry sensitive skin

What makes a good moisturizer for dry sensitive skin

Moisturizers with ceramides and shea butter help deeply nourish dry skin and ease tightness, while formulas with hyaluronic acid and glycerin boost hydration to smooth out fine lines and flakiness. Products with niacinamide, cica, and aloe vera leaf juice help calm redness and soothe sensitivity.
