Definitely not for sensitive skin! My hands are not particularly sensitive, unlike my face and neck, so I tried this on the back of one hand. It is has a lovely moist, but not shiny finish. It has a very faint herbal/lemony scent. My hand looks so much better than the one I didn't apply it on. It does itch a bit though, an hour after I applied it. I will use this only on tough skin, like the outer parts of my arms, and backs of my hands, both of which have not benefited from the religious application of sunscreen my face and neck have gotten. I just won't be able to use it on my face, neck or chest. Sigh
