Reaction to Cerave Hydrating - red angry dry skin - help!!!

[Marushka82]

Hi,
I had a reaction to Cerave Hydrating cleanser and my skin is now super tight, red, dry and burns! I used Mica Cica on it and I’m hoping it’s gojgn to calm down by tomorrow. Any idea what cleanser and moisturiser I can use that will be gentle and not cause a reaction? Some people say is the niadimicine in Cerave that the skin might react to or the fatty alcohols (which ones are these? I have a fancy dinner at the end of this week and want my face to look normal! Thanks in advance!

La Roche Posay Ciclaplast Balm is always recommended for angry skin. You could show your pharmacist for a suggestion

Thanks! I got it and thankfully it helped a bit. I’m also taking antihistamines to calm it down.
I’m so so angry about it - it’s supposed to be gentle and it burned my skin! It was red and dry like a mask and peeling as if I had a chemical peel done
