Aveeno - the ones with oats

La Roche Posay and Avene do a huge selection for your skin type - have a look in Boots. They're both really good brands. I also rate Aveeno as well, I have been using it for over 20 years on my face.

Dermalex (it smells vile, but is amazing) or the La Roche Posay rosaecea moisturiser

I use Avene Cicalfate Repair Cream whenever my skin is sensitive and red. It is very soothing and whilst it a thick cream I find that it blends easily and does not leave my (slightly combination) skin greasy.

I've just been using a Neutrogena oil free one for under my make up as Id been having break outs. It's a bit drying tho.

I've been using Lucy Bee coconut oil on my face, body & hair for 2 weeks and I'm amazed at the difference in my skin. I was worried with it being oil it would cause me to break out but my skin is less red and no breakouts. I have a bit of acne scarring on my chin which has also faded. I have always struggled to find a decent rich moisturise that didn't cause breakouts. My hair is lovely and shiny too. Is £6 for a 300ml jar so a bargain compared to similar sized pots of moisturiser ??

Many thanks for the responses everyone. Much appreciated.
Will definitely give these a try.

Weleda almond moisturiser for sensitive skin is good

Dr Hauskha rose cream is lovely.
It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, cruelty free and no nasties

Avene (from boots) is the only moisturiser my sensitive skin can bear! Tried loads of others supposedly for sensitive skin but they always result in irritation:(
