After reading the book, I discovered that I was a OSNW. This discovery wasn't completely new to me as I'm quite familiar to my skin's personality. But, it was nice to have it spelled out. However, there was one thing that bothered me about the information outlined for my particular skin type - the lack of 'fragrance-free' products. As part of the 'sensitive' skin type category, I feel that there should be a place for those, like myself, that cannot handle fragrance. :- I'm not really sure as to why fragrance needs to be in things like cleansers or serums etc. I've been told that most products use the fragrance as an easy way out to 'mask' the unpleasant smell of the active ingredients. I find it next to impossible to navigate through my local department store or drugstore in search of fragrance free products. Even Aveeno has fragrance in it. If your lucky, and do find a product that does not have fragrance, it will often not have any helpful ingredients in it such as BHA's, AHA's, antioxidants etc... as they are really geared for anti-redness / anti-inflammation.

So, my question to anyone is, are there any products out there that anyone knows of that is fragrance-free, but also contains helpful active ingredients? In particular, I'm in search of a cleanser with BHA in it (as Dr. Baumann recommended). Thanks for listening!
