Cosmetic Corner: Dermatologists Weigh in on Products for Sensitive Skin

To improve patient care and outcomes, leading dermatologists offered their recommendations on products for sensitive skin. Consideration must be given to:

• Avène Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream
  Pierre Fabre Dermo-Cosmetique USA
  “Sucralfate for speeding up skin repair and the soothing thermal spring waters found in this product make it perfect postprocedure for immediately cooling and calming the skin.”—Jeannette Graf, MD, New York, New York

• Cetaphil RestoraDerm Eczema Calming Body Moisturizer
  Galderma Laboratories, LP
  “This product is formulated for atopic skin. I personally use it on my face as a moisturizer during the cold New York City winter.”—Anthony M. Rossi, MD, New York, New York

• Vanicream
  Pharmaceutical Specialties, Inc
  “I recommend Vanicream brand products to patients with sensitive skin or eczema. These products are fragrance free and have minimal ingredients.”— Gary Goldenberg, MD, New York, New York
