Physicians Formula
Physicians Formula has long held a reputation for being one of the best drugstore brands for sensitive skin... and for good reason. The founder, Dr. Frank Crandall, was actually inspired to create the line because his wife had major issues with sensitivity — so he created products that were free of talc and other known irritants. Today, it's one of the most popular drugstore brands out there and it's a great affordable clean beauty option.

Since inception, Thayer's has held up its motto of making a long-standing commitment to creating pure, effective, cruelty-free products that are made with only the highest quality ingredients. I'm especially loving the natural lemon blemish stick for clearing my breakouts, without harmful, drying ingredients.
