I thought this would be perfect for sensitive skin, so I was surprised to find this is fairly irritating. It made my skin itchy and greasy feeling. I’m not sure which ingredient(s) are to blame, and maybe my skin is just overreacting as it’s been known to do, but I can’t in good conscience recommend it especially at such a high price point.
