@I am still oxox You need Aquaphor. My granddaughter just had a new baby (yes, my great grandson) and this is what she uses on him (if needed). Funny because we used it for her. Good luck.

When my face was a little raw from aggressive microdermabrasion, @SilleeMee recommended this. Order from oilscenter dot com or the Walmart website.

I've used that jojoba butter whenever I need to 'heal' my skin which sometimes happens when I've over-exfoliated or I need something to sooth my skin after laser treatment/microneedling. Use only a very tiny pea-size amount for face and neck.

Sensitivie skin usually happens when there is an issue with the skin barrier where ceramides levels have become low for one reason or another. Jojoba butter or oil contains large amounts of natural plant ceramides (phytoceramides plus vitamins) and, when used topically, can help restore the skin's natural level of ceramides which helps maintain moisture in the skin by preventing water loss. Dehydrated skin can be a cause for red and inflamed skin aka 'sensitive skin'.

ETA-

If you're not wearing sun protection then the sunlight will destroy the natural ceramides in your skin and eventually deplete them and cause the skin barrier to lose it's ability to function normally.

@I am still oxox

Are you meaning facial skin or body skin -- or both? Are you looking for a cleanser, moisturizer or both? Just asking, because I didn't know what to suggest.

@SilleeMee How is jojoba butter different from jojoba oil? Is it more moisturizing?

@Violet Fields

I think it's mainly the consistency that's different. The butter is very soft, creamy and when you rub it between your hands it melts but not runny. The oil is a liquid so there's a bit more slip and it's runny.

They both moisturize but I think the butter seems to be more occlusive than the oil but not by much. HTH.

@SilleeMee Ok, thanks! The jojoba butter looks really good. I'm glad you suggested that to the OP.
