"My go-to brand to recommend for patients with lots of skin allergies or sensitivities is Vanicream," Ilyas says. This affordable product line is great in that it has no dyes, no lanolin, no formaldehyde, no fragrances, no parabens and is gluten-free, she adds.
"If you have issues with sensitivity to sunblock or your eyes burn when you use it, just get Vanicream sunscreen from Amazon," Ilyas says. It's usually the preservatives and fragrances that irritate our skin when it comes to sunblock, she notes.
The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% is my favorite base and can lighten discoloration on the skin," Ilyas says, adding that it goes on with a dry touch.
"With a boost of caffeine and a cooling rollerball technology, this is the perfect thing to de-puff tired eyes after too little sleep or if your allergies are acting up," says facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Inessa Fishman, MD.
