Moisturiser for dry sensitive skin

The Liz Earle range is very good. I’m not keen on their standard moisturisers but the Superskin range is good (with or without neroli oil). I use it without as I don’t like the smell of the neroli oil. Larger Boots stores and JL sell it. You could probably get samples to try. Nothing artificial in the range.

The best moisturiser I ever used was Origins Perfect world, very light and easily absorbed and contains SPF 40. Their whole range of products are gentle on the skin and like their Night a mins for bedtime.

I am another fan of SBC products particularly their Collagen Gel. Also Nivea products are good value and they have products for all different skin types

Another vote for Aveeno here.

I use Nivea every day on my face arms and legs. It keeps the areas gently moistened and is not perfumed. I have quite a dry skin.

Having just been to the doctors with a bad bout of exczma he suggested best to shower with Aquaderm Aqueous Cream. Doesn't take any of the oils out of your skin. Would thoroughly recommend it although it does take a bit of getting used to.

Ialuset cream contains hyaluronic acid, the main ingredient in expensive face creams. You can buy it online. I think about £14 for 100g.

I have a tube which my doctor prescribed to use on a leg wound which was slow to heal. I sometimes use it on my face too.
Otherwise Nivea soft.

Organic Coconut oil. £2.50 50ml
No additives

Another vote for Organic Virgin Coconut Oil! It can be used anywhere on the body, contains no additives and is easily absorbed so it doesn't leave a greasy feeling on your skin.

Allergenics are my other go to products. Inexpensive, too!

I've used Liz Earle products for many years and have not found anything better. I also like buying British. Her products are 100% natural and she has a range for dry and sensitive skin. Reasonably priced and available in stores or from her website. Really worth a try.

I will only put Tropic products on my face. Not tested on animals, no animal products or chemicals in it- just pure natural ingredients. Only disadvantage is that you have to buy it online. My skin is in wonderful condition- better than it ever has been.

The Ordinary from deciem are great for sensitive skin. Avene,Cerave, LRP are all affordable and great for sensitive skin but not cruelty free.

I find Superdrug Vitamin E range suits my skin, which tends to be rather sensitive. Use the serum and night cream at bedtime and will start using the day cream when my present Boots Botanics day cream is finished.

I read recently that Helen Mirren only uses E45 cream which is sooo reasonable. I have therefore bought some to use when my Aldi cream runs out. I have actually used Boots face creams all my life, moving up the range - I’m now on Restore and Renew! I’m always being told that I have very unlined and good skin for someone of my age - 70 next birthday.

I have rosacea, acne and eczema. I am allergic to Nivea, cannot use the stuff. I use Dermalex just for Rosacea flare up. The best moisturiser for me personally is Neutrogena , Visibly Clear , Oil Free Moisturiser. (Not the grapefruit one.) Quite a reasonable price. For washing my face I use Superdrug Tea Tree Oil and Mint Facewash. Not impressed with the La Roche Posay one, which to me was expensive and showed no improvement. So went back to Superdrug. For my eczema which is mainly on my legs, I swear by Body Shop Body Butter , the Hemp one in the green tub.

I too use Aveeno for hands and body, Sometimes Double Base Gel which was recommended by a Gransnetter and is great for crepey arms. Bio Oil too but not on face, they also do a gel version which I haven't tried.
I find Nivea, E45 and Astral are mostly water and have a drying effect on me.
For face I've tried all sorts but the best economy ranges are by Viola or The Ordinary.

Like Baggs, I swear by Boots own, No 7 for very old ladies (I am 75). I am often told I look younger but, I suspect that is probably as much to do with having carefully chosen my parents and their genes as it is with skincare,

Coconut oil and a drop of essential lavender oil - divine!

If you go to natural-skin-care.com you will find goats' milk and donkey milk moisturisers which are the finest I have ever used and wouldn't go anywhere else now. I have skin cancer on my face and these products contain no chemicals etc. just pure goodness. Would thoroughly recommend.

Aveeno is available on prescription too

I have been on Chemo this year and my skin became very dry they suggested Aveeno which was very good but the best was coconut oil it was in the food section solid coconut oil but as soon as you put it in your hands it melts the best ever also use it as a pre wash hair conditioner due to dry scalp also from the chemo and not expensive either.

There are good ideas for moisturisers on here, and I think I will try Aveeno, which I've not used. In addition I think it's wise for anyone with fair skin to use a moisturiser with SPF daily on their face throughout the year.
I agree Tweedle24 that genes play an important part.

I find the simple range good they do a day / night cream

Simple answer... it's another vote for Simple! Excellent and not overpriced!

Was advised by hospital to use E 45. Years ago a doctor advised Nivea.
