My suspicion is that the original formula won't cause your sensitive skin trouble, but in the event that it does you will not have spent money on something ill-suited to your skins needs. I haven't tried the lightweight version yet, but I lola seicentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096919291120769005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455649611035614739.post-576014388433017802012-10-21T13:32:43.110-07:002012-10-21T13:32:43.110-07:00Thank you both, Lola and Anonymous, for your recom...Thank you both, Lola and Anonymous, for your recommendations. I've wanted to try this product but didn't know which version would be best. I have dry skin, but it is very sensitive.

I really liked the Living Proof Wave Curl Styling Cream, but completely agree about the tiny bottles and the price point.

However, I do find that it is a really good way to find out which products are worth taking a second look at, and which ones to avoid!! My pile is a little bit out of hand as well. I need to figure out a method of screening them out from the beginning-- because they really do accumulate rather quickly!
