Do you have sensitive skin? Are you looking for the best products for your skin but don't want to pay $60 for a 1/4-ounce bottle of cold cream?

You're in luck. Some sensitive skin care products that are the most highly recommended by dermatologists can be found at your local drugstore.

Read on for the best cleansers, moisturizers and more that will treat your skin right without having to spend a bundle.

Cetaphil has long been recommended by dermatologists for dry and sensitive skin. Gentle is the keyword for all of the products of the Cetaphil line and is popular especially with people who have had bad luck with other skin care products. It does however contain nut oils, so be careful if you know you have an allergy to them.

Cetaphil is my personal favorite. For some, once they find Cetaphil, they stick to it for life. Its popularity has even spawned generic versions in major retail and drugstores such as Wal-Mart and Rite-Aid.  See my more indepth review of two Cetaphil products linked to the right.

Besides excellent skin cream for hands, feet, and body, Eucerin has a wide range of products for dry and sensitive skin care.

Some of them include:

• Aquaphor Healing Ointment
• Eucerin Redness Relief
• Calming Creme
• Anti Wrinkle Q10

The Redness Relief products are specially formulated for conditions such as rosacea.  The day cream formula has a slight green tint which helps tone down the red.  Women who still want to wear makeup will find this especially helpful.

From sun protection to baby care, Aveeno is a leading provider in gentle skin products. The company is known best for including colloidal oatmeal in its product lines including their popular soap-free cleansing bar.

Aveeno is also a favorite of dermatologists being recommended in baths for those with irritative skin conditions such as eczema. 

Neutrogena's list of products can be mind boggling, but there is a reason the company keeps going strong. They create quality skin care for every skin type.

While Neutrogena is well known for its acne-prone skin care and shampoo therapy, their sensitive skin care line is just as impressive. Their foaming cleansers are especially made to be gentle to the skin.

CeraVe is a newer kid on the block of dry and sensitive skin care products. It boasts multivesicular evulsion delivery technology that once was available only by prescription. This ingredient was designed to provide intense emmolient therapy for the skin.

The CeraVe cleanser and moisturizer was developed in conjunction with dermatolgists for the treatment of skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

CeraVe is manufactured by CORIA Laboratories, Ltd., a Texas company responsible for such skin and hair care products as Salex and Cloderm.

As you can see, you aren't stuck with expensive skin care choices. You have several to choose from right at your neighborhood drugstore.

Check out the company websites above to find out which of your favorite drugstore chains carry them. Go ahead and give one or more of the products a try. If you are being treated for sensitive skin or another skin condition, your doctor most likely will recommend at least one of them.
