so, what works for you?
I'm afraid maybe the products have changed. we don't use fabric softener or dryer sheets either--just dryer balls.

I have really sensitive skin and I used to use the Arm & Hammer exclusively. Unfortunately, I didn't feel like it cleaned my clothes well enough. I now use tide with bleach alternative with no problems. I did find that fabric softners were often the guilty culprit when I would have an outbreak. I can only use Downy. I am very careful with my body soaps too. Used to use only Neutrogenia but am now able to use only Oil of Olay body washes.

Don't use one brand all the time, All, Purex, Arm & Hammer and once in awhile store brand. Never did like Tide, scent got to me. I don't use softeners either, dryer does a good job, towels come out nice and fluffy and clothes don't have static.
Sorry to hear that so many have skin problems, sounds painful.
