I use a Korean brand namely Pyunkang Yul Moisture Cream, (pea sized amount for whole face 100ml lasts for around 9 months) its for very sensitive skin, its my holy grail brand and then on top of that Apivita Light Face Cream SPF30 50ml, chemical free Greek brand, it's a sun care item but I use it year round. I have celtic fair skin and react to silicones and perfume in products. Hope this helps.

i use suntan cream........

Superdrugs own brand....they have a few moisturisers and creams, they all scored very highly when skin creams were assessed for efficacy and are very reasonable in price, all under ten pounds. Night time try putting on moisturiser then topping off with Vaseline, especially around the eye area and anywhere you have lines. Ophthalmologists have long recommended Vaseline around the eye area especially for leaky eyes which can cause sore skin.

As a long term dry skin sufferer, I am always very careful about moisturizers. Have been using Eucerin products for the last 4 years and though a little expensive, a little goes a long way and need replacing less often.

Thank you Purplepoppies, really useful & important to know AVEENO is tested on animals, therefore shouldn't be bought by anyone. There are plenty of good, natural products on the market that aren't. I recently had actinic keratosis on my face & had to apply an anti cancer cream for 3 weeks. It worked well but left blotches on the rest of my face which looked permanent. Having been helped by CBD for pain I thought I'd try the cream, fairly new I think. I was amazed at the result - not only did it get rid of the blotches my whole face looks smoother & younger. I now use both the night & day cream ( H&B).

Try epaderm and dermoil from chemists. Recommended for ezcma sufferers. Cheap and perfume etc free.

Another vote for Aveeno. I use Clarins moisturiser on my face.

I meant to say cerave seems to be cheapest on Amazon at the moment but other uk retailers are stocking it now

This is what I chose to moisturise with

Works wonders on my granddaughters eczema, non oily too.
I like argan oil aswell. Its great on my winter hands and lips before bed.
I don't use aveeno, its tested on animals.

I’ve just thought has anyone used Eucerin?

This is great. Aveeno and Simple are coming out tops. I think. I like the sound of the more natural products - my arms got very dry, scabby and flakey ( old age?) in the summer and I used some Shea butter that was recommended to me and it seems to have done a good job.

I have to watch it with shampoo and conditioner as well - I had my hair done recently and whatever they used on me triggered off the flakey scabby scalp and ears again.
Keep the recommendations coming especially moisturisers for the face please

I've used Bobby Brown moisturiser with SPF25 for years - v.pricey but a little goes a long way. Aveeno is good but very fragrant and I can't use any products with fragrance as I am allergic to the chemicals that provide the scent.
Remember Pond's cold cream?

I have used Bach Rescue Cream since my late 20s: now at 63, my skin is still soft, smooth and wrinkle-free. It is dry, sensitive and prone to allergic reactions, but Rescue soothes it away in seconds. Also works well and safely for intimate dryness..

I second Childs Farm baby moisturiser. I have extremely dry skin and apply it morning and evening.

Aglassofroseplease I tend to go for natural products - chemical free. I find that raw shea butter is wonderful. I usually buy a block of it off the internet and it lasts me for quite a while.

Another one that I use regularly is coconut oil.

Good luck!

I agree Dr. Hedison Returning Eye Patch is great for dry skin.It is a Korean skincare beauty product.I have been using this product from the last few months.It gives my skin natural radiance when applied and it is very easy to apply, a little goes a Long way. I advise you to use this product.

Two years ago I woke up with my face swollen up like 'elephant man'. I had spent the whole of the previous day preparing green beans for the freezer. My skin had also become very dry. My doctor recommended 3 antihistamine tables a day and cutting out all fancy creams and moisturisers and just using the Aveeno range. It did the trick and I have used Aveeno ever since. I also saved a fair bit of money by doing this. Aveeno is often on special offer too so I usually stock up when it is on at a specially good price.

I clean my face with Simple ( or sometimes Nivea lotion ) then moisturise with CBD cream from Holland & Barret. Works very well.

Dermalogica is one of the best moisturisers I have ever used and doesn’t irritate my skin. It is expensive but worth the cost. Equally I use Aveeno as a body lotion.

I have dry skin, which seems to be allergic to something in most High Street brands

I use a moisteriser and night cream produced by a company calle PureNuffStuff. www.purenuffstuff.co.uk . I have been using it for over 10 years without any problem.

Some moisturisers make my eyes very sore and runny so I have to be careful. My go-to cream is Olay Provital but using l'Oreal at the moment for a change. Also the day and night creams from Poundland (50ml pots, £1) are very good, suitable for vegans, not greasy. I might try Aveena as it seems to be very popular with grans.

Aveeno. I've used the different formulas and they are great. I used to be very sensitive to the lanolin used in moisturisers, came out with red rashes. GP actually prescribed Aveeno, but I buy it myself now.

E45 is a great alround moisturiser with no additives - inexpensive too.
