I would start simple. Try adding one thing at a time and take it slow. Also, stay away from complex actives for a bit.

A serum would be first on my list. Do you have a current moisturizer that you know does not make your skin reactive? For Serums, look at the most simple ones like Green Tea & Aloe, or Oatmeal, or Botanical Hydrating Serum. Then put your moisturizer over the top of it.

What do you use to cleanse? Consider trying Apricot Cleansing Oil at a later time, maybe in a few weeks?

Thank you! I was going to try the Apricot Oil. I'm currently using an oil to cleanse. I will order a couple of samples of those items you recommend. :D
