Can anyone recommend a face moisturiser for very sensitive skin?

Have been using rose day cream light by Dr Hauskha for a few years but my skin is starting to need a bit more (it still feels dry even after I've used it. I used to be able to get away without using a moisturiser every day if ever I forgot but alas my skin now most definitely needs it). Rose cream Dr H is too thick and rich and makes me sweat underneath it.

Every other moisturiser I've tried gives me spots as my skin is very sensitive. It's dry but also has greasy areas.

Any recommendations?

Waitrose have just bought out a reasonably priced range called Pure. Its definitely not frangranced. Might we worth a look.

I've reverently discovered it's the spf in creams irritates my skin.
Aloe from the body shop is lovely.

Neil's yard frankincense cream is fab and works well with my sensitive skin. A bit pricey though. I also use naked hydrating face cream which is cheap and fragrance free.

Lots of good ideas. I'm tempted to try the body shop aloe vera cream because I know some of their stuff can be really good (but find alot of their products drying). Neil's Yard is a good idea as they are great with my skin, will look up and see how expensive they are

I always find the Body Shop ones really drying as well - what the hell are they putting in them? Loads of crap (aren't they owned by L'Oreal now?) I'm guessing.

Went to buy body shop aloe cream but body shop went all strange when ordering with my mac (it happens when I try to buy from some sites). Have just bought neil's yard francincense cream for night and their light rose cream for morning use (I really love rose face creams) so let's see how they go

Thanks for all the help, have made a note to try some of these others if NY isn't great. Although pricey to buy, it's actually cheaper per gram than my Dr Hauskha so relatively speaking would be a frugal buy compared to what I use now!
