Share your fragrance-free faves!

Recently discovered that I have a sensitivity to fragrance in beauty products/household cleaning products Anyone else have this??

What are your favourite fragrance free products?

Haven’t tried much so far but I really like the aveeno body wash!

CeRave, we have a face moisturiser and also a body moisturiser, both fragrance free and excellent. I think the whole range is fragrance free.

@TottiePlantagenet of course! I’ve been meaning to try CerRve - thanks for reminding me. Glad to hear their quality matches their reputation!

Splosh do fragrance-free kitchen cleaner, bathroom cleaner and dishwasher tablets. Haven't tried them but have heard good things!

@bearlyactive oh amazing, thank you!

My husband has a similar problem with chemical smells in household products, particularly with laundry products that have a persistent fragrance which lingers on furniture. We have found the whole Ecover Zero range of fragrance-free cleaning products useful and the Simple Skincare range for moisturisers etc. In fact, we put together a webpage to list household products that we personally use, to explain the problem to others and link to research, articles and resources that we have found useful.

I am using Boots own fragrance free cleanser, which costs a whopping £1.50. This seems to remove my makeup thoroughly without any irritation. I can't use Cerave as it makes my eyes sting and doesn't remove my makeup which resulted in blepharitis, though it made a good handwash.

You could try some Eucerin products, though you need to check ingredients. I used their urea facial moisturiser for years, but they have recently changed something and it gives me spots. I am using an old Boots Simply Sensitive moisturiser, however, this has been discontinued, so no idea what I am going to try next.

Use good old Simple soap as I found most handwashes wreck my hands.

Brands like Avene are worth looking at, though I haven't found any that I can use, but my skin is super sensitive.

Generally, I find products that have very few ingredients are a better bet - the more ingredients the more likely I am to have a reaction.

Hope this helps.
