Fragrance in skincare products can cause sensitivity for the skin. My skin is slightly sensitive but I wouldn’t say my skin type is completely sensitive. I do use skincare products that have fragrance in them but lately I have been on the search to incorporate products that are fragrance free. Please note that although these products are fragrance free some of them still may have a scent to them from their raw materials. If there is a scent I will mention this in my review.

Fragrance Free Skincare Products: Cleansers
These products are listed from products I love to products I have had a good experience with it.
First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser
- Great for sensitive skin
- Clean at Sephora
- Cruelty Free
I really love the texture of this it’s lightweight and airy. Although it can take some makeup off please don’t rely on this as your only item for makeup removal. It will not take the makeup off completely. This product also feels nourishing on the skin!I really love the texture of this it’s lightweight and airy. This product does work good with the FOREO Luna 3. This product has no scent to it from the product’s raw materials.

Aveeno Oat Cleanser
I saw this recommended from Skincare By Hyram and decided to give it a try. Lately it’s been my go to drugstore cleanser, and I have repurchased this several times. Oats are also known to be good for sensitive skin.

Drunk Elephant Beste No 9. Jelly Cleanser
I thought this was a really good lightweight formula. Also, it helped me get rid of a pimple I had under my skin that just wouldn’t go away! It’s a jelly consistency cleanser. It does have a slight smell to it, but I’m not entirely sure how to describe it. I guess it’s perhaps the smell of cantaloupe. This is also clean at Sephora.

Bliss Clear Genius Clarifying Gel Cleanser
- Great for Acne Skin
- Super Affordable
- Vegan [Not all products from the brand are vegan but this one is]
- Cruelty Free
This product has BHA in it so it helps with controlling acne. I honestly wouldn’t really describe it as a gel formula because it definitely feels thicker than that. It comes in a soap pump kind of packaging so it’s quick to use. I wouldn’t recommend taking this for travel though as it is likely to spill. I did use this with my FOREO Luna 3 and had a good experience with it.
Olay Gentle Foaming Face Cleanser
- Very Basic
- Low price and easy to find (bought this at the grocery store)
This was the first cleanser I used when I moved back to America from India. There was nothing wrong with this cleanser at the same time there was nothing great about it that made me stay with it. It’s a thick white formula. I honestly just think I didn’t take the product seriously because I found it at my grocery store.
[Not all Olay products are fragrance free this happens to just be one of them]

Fragrance Free Skincare Products: Moisturizers
These moisturizers are listed from moisturizers I love the most to moisturizers I have used and had a pretty good experience with.
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Moisturizer
- Clean at Sephora
- Great for Sensitive Skin
- Cruelty Free
This one is amazing! Super lightweight and absorbs into the skin quickly. My skin feels silky and smooth when I wake up in the morning to wash my face. It’s also designed for sensitive skin so if you have sensitive skin then try this.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream
A thicker version of the moisturizer, I repurchase this every year because it’s just that good! If you have more dry skin then I recommend this cream instead of the moisturizer.

Milk Makeup Vegan Moisturizer
- Vegan
- Cruelty Free
- Gluten Free
I was really surprised by this moisturizer. It looks lightweight but it’s super thick when you put it on the skin. This product caused zero breakouts and it felt moisturizing. I also loved the finish that it gave to the skin. It gets absorbed really fast and it’s almost like you never put anything on your skin.
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
- Easy to find at many stores
- Great Value! Low priced for the quantity you get.
This was a great moisturizing cream and it’s been over six years since I have used CeraVe products. Not that I didn’t like them in the past, but I feel like I just forgot about the brand and overlooked it. I tried a sample of this cream and I’m usually not a fan of creams on the face but I actually like this one. The product is easy to warm up in your hands and smooth it all over your face. What I love about this is it has hyaluronic acid so it keeps the skin moisturized. You can definitely feel that smooth and silky feeling on your skin in the morning when you wash your face from the night before. Another plus point is it can also be used on your body, so if you are traveling, then you can carry fewer products.

Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream
- Recommended for ages 35-60
- Moisturizing enough for winter skin
This cream absorbs into the skin really fast which is my favorite part about it so I can get right into applying my sunscreen over this. It also moisturizes the skin well enough for winter time.

Clinique Dramatically Different Jelly
- Goes well before makeup
- Transparent formula
Whenever I use this product it’s almost always before I do my makeup. I find that it’s the perfect combination to go in with a primer. It also absorbs quickly so it’s great when you’re in a rush. I also like to mix this with my foundation when I’m going for a more sheer look.

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream
- Good for anti-aging
This is a bit of a thicker moisturizer since it is a cream. It almost reminds me of Indian Butter (ghee). Definitely very moisturizing but I will note that it burns when I put it over my dry skin. This cream is filled with protein and is definitely good to help with anti-aging.
That’s it for fragrance free skincare products! There are some other skincare products I have used that are fragrance free but they’re not cleansers or moisturizers and I didn’t have a lot of products in that product’s category so I decided to leave them out of the post. As we see more products coming out there’s definitely a growing collection of fragrance free products. So this blog post will definitely will be updated! So be sure to subscribe below to stay updated to this blog.

Learn about Fragrance in Depth
Want to learn more about fragrance? Read articles from The International Fragrance Association! I also watched this video from the EcoWell when it was streaming live, and this definitely shaped my opinion about fragrance in skincare and taught me a lot.
Overall, will I try to go fragrance-free for all my face products. But there are still products out there which I love and are fragranced. I do prefer scented body wash as an example. Let me know what you think about this fragrance free products, and if there are others I should try.
