Dermatologists recommend Cetaphil & Cerave for sensitive skin. Found at the good old drugstore & on sale often, too. Cetaphil also have a facial cleanser. I prefer the Cetaphil to the Cerave because I like it's texture better. Full of fatty omegas.
My skin is also super sensitive and my derm asked me to try La Roche-Posay "Toleriane." And I LOVE IT! I used to get it from her office but found it cheaper at dermstore.com. I use it all the time.

If you decide to go with either one, I've tried them both and both are great! Obviously the Cetaphil is less expensive, but La Roche-Posay was offered at my dermatologist's office and you can always go there or to the drugstores for a sample before you buy it (in Canada at least).
I'm gonna go to the shops today and have a look at their La Roche Posay range - thank goodness we have that in the UK! I hate that sometimes the skincare ranges are so limited here.
I have sensitive skin and use the Avon Nurtura nightly, right after I shower. My sensitive, acne-prone friend loves Cetaphil, but I find it a bit greasy on my skin.
I have sensitive skin and I've been using the Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion and it I haven't had one problem with it. It's very light weight and fragrance free ( which is what a lot of people have a reaction to). I really like it, you should try it if you haven't already.
I have to also chime in for Avene and La Roche Posay. My skin is so sensitive that even everyones favorite Cetaphil was too much for me. Avene is especially good for any redness that you may have!
I couldn't actually find any La Roche Posay when I went to Boots, so I ended up getting the Avene Skin Recovery Cream, and it's working alright so far! I'll have to try La Roche Posay when this one runs out. Or when my skin decides it doesn't like it, after all.
Yazerella, check out theskinstore.com, click on brands & then you'll see Avene, La Roche Posay & Atopalm (also a very soothing skincare line). If you click on these brands you will pretty much see their full product range & each product has reviews so that should help you out.
