Owners of sensitive skin will know how careful you have to be with what you put on your skin. This is the best primer for sensitive skin types.
Sensitive skin is difficult to choose products for. You live in fear that you will react to any product you try on your skin. Sensitive skin is quick to flare up and get hot and red. The wrong product can cause a reaction in seconds. Primer is supposed to be a base for your makeup so essentially it can act as a barrier between your skin and the makeup. If it's going to be the base for your makeup and act as a barrier it should be good for your skin. The Bellapierre makeup primer is a great primer for sensitive skin types.
Sensitivity and dryness often go hand in hand. There's a good chance if you're sensitive you're also dry. Then, dry or dehydrated skin can cause your skin to produce excess oil so you will often have a combination of both. A good multi-tasking primer generally tries to smooth over your dry patches and control shine on your skin. This one delivers on both. It has a silicone-y texture so it smooths over your skin to leave it literally feeling like silk. Foundation just glides on top of it.

What makes this primer different is that it has no parabens included. It's also infused with minerals which help to condition your skin while you wear it. Lots of skin types experience open pores and blackheads which make the surface of your skin look uneven. Foundation sits into the open pores and looks bumpy where you have blackheads. The formula contains silica so it will smooth over fine lines and open pores to make your skin look more even. It slightly fills in fine lines which is always a bonus. Makeup can sit into fine lines, especially around the eyes only making them more obvious. The Bellapierre primer is that ideal texture that fills in the cracks in a not-so-obvious way. It makes your skin smoother and younger look with makeup on.
It's a pricey primer at €45 but I think it's worth the price. You only need the tiniest bit. I use barely more than a grain of rice sized pump. Too much primer will often have the opposite effect than you want it to so use as little as possible. If you are sensitive or reactive usually you should patch test this primer before you use it on your face just to be sure.
