What are the benefits of using an Ayurvedic facial cream for sensitive skin?

Question

I am really struggling with my sensitive skin lately and I’m considering trying an ayurvedic facial cream. I have always been skeptical because I have super sensitive skin, and regular creams just irritate me. I heard about ayurvedic products and I'm wondering if an ayurvedic facial cream might be gentler? I've read that these creams use natural ingredients, and I feel that might help with my redness and dryness. Also, a friend mentioned that some ayurvedic facial cream can actually help with calming the skin without harsh chemicals. But, I feel a bit lost, like, is there a specific ayurvedic facial cream I should look for, especially for sensitive types? I tried a few other products before, and they sorta made things worse, so I really don’t want that again. Honestly, I'm just scared to invest in yet another product that might not work. Should I also be looking for any particular herbs or oils in an ayurvedic facial cream that are good for sensitive skin? Any advice or experiences you might share with an ayurvedic facial cream would be super helpful! Thanks a bunch!
