So who recommended I try Aveene cream?

[valiumredhead]

I can't remember but THANK YOU

It's lovely stuff, I've only used it once so far dabbed a bit on in the car after shopping but it didn't sting and that is a minor miracle as my skin is so sensitive!

Sooo,I got the moisturiser, cleanser and a can of spray mist as it was 3 for 2 in Boots BUT WHAT DO I DO WITH IT? I have no idea, is it fancy water toner? When do I put it on, after cleansing?

Thanks in advance

I have used it and it is great stuff. The water spray is useful if you are having a flare up or just to provide a bit of moisture after you've cleansed and before you put the moisturiser on. Use it however you like. It is meant to have skin calming minerals in. The cleansers are really good as well.

My ds has this for eczema and it's been marvellous (just the moisturiser obv.). I have no idea about the water (why didn't you get 2 moisturisers? ?)

I have such sensitive skin that I didn't want to end up with 2 tubes of something I couldn't use,I figured that a water spray would be pretty harmless

Ok thanks, so after cleansing and before moisturising then?

Yep, that should work, or use it to replace tap water, when you wash your face. I went through a stupidly sensitive skin phase a few years ago and even tap water irritated my face.

It might have been me:)!

It sure is lovely stuff. The spray water can be used as a toner but I also tend to use it as a calming treatment when my face is very stingy, hot or irritated. Calms it instantly. I also spray some on to refreshen my make up (dont hold to close to face as your make up will run). It sets the make up beautifully.
I also used the cleanser without water (tissue off) and then sprayed the water on afterwards before the cream.

Thank you SE

Tissue off? Wipe off with tissue, isn't that a bit scratchy?

Ooh there's s facial wash too, nice !

£6.50 for a can of water? Good job it was free

Bizarre link, went are you posting about attracting supportive men and keeping them?

Why not went

Nope not if tou use the softest face tissues. Or cotton wooll pads. ;)

I'll give both a go and report back tomorrow

Avene Cleanance range is also great also

Love the stuff - have been using it for at least 10years, I have tubes of it in every room in the house...I decant it to take on planes, I have tubes in the car....I think I might be addicted to it! I also use Naked shampoo and conditioner, which limits flare ups on my face too.

Woke up this morning and skin wasn't flaky or dry which is interesting as when I applied it last night I wasn't sure the cream would be rich enough. I love the mist-will be buying that again for sure!

The real test will be if it's still ok in a couple of weeks, usually I try something but stay reacting after a week or so.

But so far so good

It's the only 'off the shelf' that SKN clinics recommend, it's so good. Got rid of my dermatitis

I have to say my skin feels fab today, by now it would be feeling slightly tight and Id feel like applying some more cream to soothe it.

What's SKN clinics - dermatologist?

Ah yes,I know aveeno products,I use the body cream.

Yes, SKN are a chain of dematologists/cosmetic clinics (non-surgical). They have their own brand of products but also stock Avene and recommend it for all sorts of conditions.

Are we talking about Avene? Or what is Aveene?

Avene is great but I find products eventually bring me problems in the form of hives. I have used them for years, but now use olive oil for cleansing.

Avene, it was a typo in the thread title.

Interesting snake. I'm on day 2 and still good.

I've tried oil and it was terrible for my skin unfortunately.

It fascinates me how very variable women's skins are in terms of what they will tolerate.

Weird isn't it? The best skin I ever had was when I was house bound for 3 months
