I have sensitive skin as well but I've had to start reading labels because I try to stay as close to natural as possible. It's impossible though.
I agree, Clinique is strong but I like their benzoyl peroxide all over face lotion or cream I think. My daughter couldn't use it 'cause it was too drying so I decided to give it a try and it works on on my acne. I still get acne in my 40's, could you believe? It is stress acne though. In the day I use DHC's salicylic spot treatment.
I think I might have to try the Ibuki line. It's all so stressful trying to decide what brand to use. There are just way too many choices out there. I'm not looking for brightening yet but I'm sure I will. Once I used a brightening lotion from Aveeno and it made my face rough and turned it darker somehow. It was weird. I'm wondering if what it was doing was turning my face to match what would have been my age spots if I had had any. Well, as soon as I stopped all went back to normal. I currently use a face scrub by Aveeno so I don't know what was up with the moisturizer. Since then (that was about a decade ago) I've never tried any brightening anything. It was just a bad experience I'm sure.
