Best pharmacy moisturisers for sensitive skin
A good moisturiser for sensitive skin hydrates without burning, doesn't leave a greasy film, and lasts until evening. In pharmacy, everyone talks ceramides and thermal water — but day to day, texture and tolerance make the real difference.

Frequently asked questions
Sensitive and very dry skin: which texture?
Rich cream or balm at night (Toleriane Ultra, Atoderm type). Morning: a light emulsion is often enough if you can't tolerate thick textures.
Gel-cream or classic cream for sensitive combination skin?
Gel-cream by day if your T-zone shines; richer cream at night. Check texture scores in reviews to avoid a sticky finish.
How do you rank them?
Hydration first, then tolerance. The overall score blends all four criteria (efficacy, texture, hydration, tolerance).
