    I have "problem" skin. I find that no one product works best: I like Lacome blue cleanser and toner with their pink neurozen hydracalm (PMSL at the name even when I bought it!) moisturiser, which seems to calm mine down (and got rid of that HORRID pregnancy rash that lingered for well over a year). Elizabeth Arden do some great make-up.

    FOR ME. Sadly I think it's mostly trial and error with what works. Because other recommendations didn't work for me.

    LH - NP There was a thread on it I think - or something similar.
    Avocado, mint and oatmeal scrub is really good. Lavender or TiTree oil can be used to help clear up ay blemishes, you can also get With Hazel toner which is excellent. (Its the only I can use on my face).
    You could also try a sorbolene cream for moisturiser, just find one that is as pure as possible. I cant remember the name - Redwin maybe? - do a daily moisturiser of almost pure sorbolene. I find it a bit heavy to use EVERY day though.
    makeyourowncosmetics dot com has heaps of different recipes....try some and see how you go

    PS - I think Clinique make their products specifically for sensitive skin, ie their products are all fragrence and colour free i think


    ETA - also modernwife dot com have a section from Dr Hulda Clark on home made and natural cosmetics which is really interesting too
