I’ve rosacea that flares up from time to time and Child’s Farm baby moisturiser (£5) calms it better than anything else. In fact I now use it under makeup and before I apply my usual moisturiser, La Roche Posay Toulerine for sensitive skin (£12)..
Believe me, I’ve tried them all and at all prices.

I agree Aveeno is great for dry skin.

***My secret... I use generic baby moisturizer a drop the size if a small pea, and have done for years, (was recommended to by my dr) - Anyway, People always complement me on my skin, radiant glow, etc

Aldi's Lacura Caviar moisturiser range is excellent and starts at £6.99. They also do a serum

Have you tried the Aveeno range? I have dry, sensitive skin and find them really good (I use the body wash and the body cream, they have other lotions and creams). When I was undergoing radiotherapy for breast cancer my consultant recommended the range and I have used them ever since.

Simple is good. Also Boots own brand without perfume.

I've always had dry skin. Avoiding anything (soap, shampoo, deodorant, moisturiser) containing perfume of any kind makes a huge difference. I don't use anything other than those four things. And I only use soda crystals in the washing machine.

I’m looking for the holy grail of moisturisers - does it exist?
I prefer creams without too many irritating chemical as I end up itchy and sore. I’ve tried various creams and as I’ve got older and we go into winter and cold windy weather my skin is feeling dry and a bit sore. Anyone got any suggestions, please
