Can you recommend a day moisturiser without SPF?

Just that!

I prefer to wear a separate SPF but struggle to find a moisturiser without one. I have very sensitive skin and am prone to redness so if any recommendations could cover those points too that would be great.

Thanks.

Bravura Azulene moisturiser its bloody lovely!

Enelya · 18/11/2016 13:53

I use Neal's Yard Almond moisturiser. I am still prone to redness but it is nice and light.

La Roche posay in Boots or online .

A lot of the high end moisturisers without dangerous chemicals do not have SPF.

A lovely one is Dr Hauschka Rose Day Cream (or a name like that).

Decleor do a couple of nice ones - I only stopped using due to no spf! Hydrafloral or the rose one for sensitive skin are both lovely.

Boredomismyenemy · 18/11/2016 14:04

Green people vita min fix 24 hour cream is lovely.

I'm currently using a No7 one that is SPF free as SPF is very irritating on my eyes. It's called Essential Moisture.

margaritasbythesea · 18/11/2016 15:04

Thanks I shall have a look at all of those.

the reason no spf is that I have to use factor 50 (redhead, living in Spain) and there are few moisturisers with an sf so high. I also really like my suncream.

Thank you all.

Organic Surge moisturisers are lovely too. You can generally get them cheaper elsewhere than on their own website.

DavidPuddy · 18/11/2016 15:10

I second Dr Hauschka. I use the face milk, which has carrot in, which I believe is supposed to help with redness. I get spots using other moisturisers, but not this one.

Holland and Barrat Dr Organic range

I got put off tryind Dr. haushka by the strong smells. I thought they might make my skin react. Any opinions on this?

I do not have reddening, however I can easily gets spots from moisturisers though I do not from Dr Hauschka. At a large department store they may be able to give you a tiny trial tube, so I recommend you ask for one of those (I know they exist). I hope this helps.

Dr Hauschka stinks, I like eurecin which doesn't smell at all and works a treat
this is the one

PinkSwimGoggles · 20/11/2016 21:47

weleda almond.
smells like marzipan and is lovely for sensitive skin

KindDogsTail · 20/11/2016 21:52

Dr Hauschka smells of roses. It does not stink of anything bad. You may prefer no smell, though.

margaritasbythesea · 22/11/2016 08:36

Thank you very much for all your suggestions. Lots to try to find one that suits me.

I really like Caudalie moisturisers, they are scented though but not very strongly IMHO. Very moisturising and good as a base to suncream (I do that during the summer).

Pluto30 · 22/11/2016 09:26

Nivea Pure & Natural moisturiser.

It's great. I've used it for years.

Pluto30 · 22/11/2016 09:28

The Nivea one has no scent, btw.

PNGirl · 22/11/2016 09:30

Lush Imperialis. Very calming and no SPF.

CozumelFox · 22/11/2016 16:50

Malin and Goetz vitamin E, my new favourite.

Dancergirl · 23/11/2016 15:47

I really like Liz Earle

margaritasbythesea · 23/11/2016 18:19

Thanks a lot. I'm very pleased I asked. I would never have found all these.
