Trader Joe's Enrich Moisturizing Face Lotion for Sensitive Skin

Amanda Thompson
As a person with really sensitive skin I've tried numerous moisturizers in the quest to find the best for my sensitive skin. Most of them have fallen to the wayside as they have been too strong for my skin or not provided enough moisture. Finding the right daily moisturizer for dry, sensitive skin is a hard task, but Trader Joe's Enrich Moisturizing Face Lotion is one of the best moisturizers for sensitive skin that I've found on the market.

Trader Joe's Enrich Moisturizing Face Lotion Ingredients

The long list of ingredients for this moisturizer doesn't bare repeating because most consumers won't understand half of them. However the active ingredients are important for those of us with sensitive skin.

Active ingredients ad Octinoxate (6%) and Zinc Oxide (3%). They are in the moisturizer to provide sunscreen, both UVA and UVB protection. These ingredients are gentler than other sunscreen ingredients and will provide protection without irritating your skin.

Additionally the moisturizer in enriched with Vitamins A, E, & C. It's PABA and fragrence free, and nothing in it will clog pores.

Trader Joe's Enrich Moisturizing Face Lotion Price

The best part about this moisturizer is the fact that it's not expensive. Many people with sensitive skin believe they have to use expensive lotions but Trader Joe's offers an extremely good solution at a reasonable price.

For a 4 oz. bottle it will cost you under $5. That's much less than other brands charge for the same amount of moisturizer. If you are looking for a low price option then Enrich from Trader Joe's is the choice for you.

Trader Joe's Enrich Moisturizing Face Lotion Review: Does it work for sensitive skin?

Technically this formula was created with all skin types in mind but this is a great moisturizer for sensitive skin. It's a light formula that isn't greasy and doesn't cause you to break out. It's comparable to the old Oil of O'lay formula for sensitive skin before they changed the formula. Because it's light and doesn't use harsh chemicals the formula works well for sensitive skin. If you treat your skin well you shouldn't have any problem with stinging pain, but there have been occasions where using it has burned slightly.

The worst thing about this moisturizer is the fact that it only offers 15 SPF. For a full day's coverage it would be better to have more protection, at least at 30 SPF. The ingredients for sunscreen are what usually bother people with sensitive skin the most, but at the same time it is important to protect your skin from the sun's damaging rays. Using 15 SPF daily is better than nothing, but it could be better. If you choose to use Enrich you should definitely make sure you also use a makeup with SPF to get more sun protection coverage.

If you are someone with sensitive skin looking for an all around daily moisturizer, look no further. With it's great price and gentle formula Trader Joe's offers a fantastic product with Trader Joe's Enrich Moisturizing Face Lotion.
