Community take

For sensitive skin, Redditors most often recommend simple, fragrance-free body lotions, especially Vanicream; they praise minimal formulas that moisturize reactive skin without the burning they experience with other brands.

What works

Basic, fragrance-free formulas are recommended for reactive skin.
Vanicream lotion moisturizes without the burning some report elsewhere.

Watch out for

One person found a lotion too heavy for them.
Some other brands caused burning, unlike the Vanicream lotion.
