Moisturiser for acne Rosacea

Any suggestions I’m using Cerave moisturising lotion at the moment.
My skin kind of tolerates it but it’s a bit greasy. I’ve tried clinique, REN, la roche posay. I try them on my hands first if they don’t make my hands itch I try it on my face.
Any suggestions for reasonably priced ones ?

The one my skin reacts least to is a simple, kind to skin, spf moisturiser.

Tasharuby1 · 28/12/2019 08:55

Yes i have tried simple but not that great for my mature skin

Clinque redness solutions daily relief cream, expensive but the best i have ever used.

Oops just realised you mentioned Clinique!
Cetaphyl is the base in my Soolantra cream and i don't react to that.

Have you tried Cetaphil? It was recommended to me by a GP specialising in dermatology and it’s really calmed my skin. Helps balance the PH of your skin I think

I can see you've used Simple but have you tried their rich moisturising lotion? I have rosacea and it's the best for my very mature skin. I've spent a small fortune on all sorts but they don't really help.

I’ll have a look at simple rich range. I have tried cetaphil on my chapped hands but didn’t help but will have another look at it which cetaphil moisturiser did he recommend? I’ve just done 4 months of soolantra my skin didn’t react to it but think it’s a slightly different composition to cetaphil.
Used oil of Olay sensitive for years but I think it’s not moisturising enough now. But really loved it untill rosacea struck.

Aveeno. I use the green top one on my face. Very gentle & soothing.

Try Pai skincare

Child’s farm baby moisturiser. £4
It does not have spf though.

Bravura !!! Best thing I have ever used on my skin. It's amazing. Good value, great advice and beautiful packaging.

This is the one I use (sorry I don't know how to make the link clicky). It's just the basic facial moisturiser

I use a goats milk moisturiser from Elegance skincare. Since using it regularly, my skin feels great and my rosacea has been well controlled.

I have acne rosacea and have come across the Antioodes range. No breakouts and actually works! Super soft skin. Look on amazon or the like - really recommend it

bossyboo · 29/12/2019 16:19

Antipodes that should say!! Smile

Tasharuby1 · 29/12/2019 16:45

I’ve tried the green top aveeno something in it my skin doesn’t like.
I can use the blue on my body but think childs farm unfragranced is better for my body but obviously can’t use it on my face.

I developed rosacea in middle age (actually in my eyes first) and my skin is quite dry. I use the Clinique redness solutions in the morning and Neal's Yard frankincense hydrating cream at night, sometimes with a facial oil underneath. Have had to pare back my routine and cut out serums and eye cream.

Tasharuby1 · 29/12/2019 16:52

Plus I know it’s a stupid question but I’m allergic to milk is there actually milk in the cream ?

Never heard of Bravura which moisturiser is good for rosacea they have a few

Cetaphil gentle cleanser and the moisturising lotion have definitely helped calm my redness.
I think Soolantra has helped too.
