Answer 1

I know the answer seems simplistic, but as a professional esthetician, I recommend you find a good skin care professional in your area and ask for a consult. Any pro worth their salt will not charge you for a skin consult and analysis. Before you can determine any product that would be "Best" you need to know your skin type & condition, any allergies you may have ( i.e., Vitamin E can be an irritant to some individuals, and it is a component of many, many products on the market because of its antioxidant properties), etcetera. A skin consult and analysis should include a thorough skin health questionnaire as well as a health screening, and then a physical exam of your skin under magnification and with special equipment.

Until you can do this, I recommend using Cetaphil Sensitive Skin Cleanser and good old fashioned Witch Hazel (diluted to 50% with distilled water) as a toner. I recommend, as an interim measure, Olay Complete Defense Daily UV Sensitive Skin moisturizer with SPF30.

An additional note: Because black skin is easily damaged and scarred, you will want to avoid micro-dermabrasion and laser treatments unless recommended and performed by a plastic surgeon.

Good luck!

I can only speak for myself, and I use Aveda products. Their Botanical Kinetics skincare line is all natural, plant-derived ingredients that don't contain any detergents (your cleaser shouldn't foam) which comes in a gel cleanser for normal to oily skin and a cream cleanser for dry skin. Their facial lotion is lighter than air, never greasy, and feels like a second skin. I heartily recommend it.
