Recommendation please for Moisturiser for whole face incl around eyes

Hello
I have used Liz earle skin repair for years and years and have loved it... especially the fact that it can go all over my face including around my eyes, without irritating them.

Recently however, I seem to be reacting to it and it makes my face itch.

Can anyone recommend another brand that I could try please? I started getting patches of eczema on my face and the go recommended avoiding parabens (I think) so hoping someone can help with suggestions of what to try.

I have tried Clinique in the past and a few others from boots like Olay but they always make my eyes puffy and itchy... even if I’m careful to avoid the eyes.

I also used to use the Liz earle skin repair cream on my hands as it was the only thing to not make my hands itch. However, if I use it I end up with an itchy rash on the backs of my hands which I also get with lots of other hand creams.

Thanks so much in advance... I turned 50 last year and my skin feels so dry and needs something.

I have similar sounding skin and am loving Superfacialist Hyaluronic Acid Day Cream. It sinks in beautifully and sometimes if I'm very dry I apply a bit more after ten minutes or so. I really like it. Liz Earle did nothing for me- it was okay, but for the price I really wanted to see results and I didn't.

I use Kiehl’s personally (ultra facial moisturiser but they have loads of different options)

I would absolutely recommend using a dedicated eye cream though, especially if you have concerns about aging or fine lines.

Avene Skin Recovery Cream might be worth a shot, or Aveeno cream....both of these are good when my sensitive skin is playing up, both gentle and won't clog your skin. Trouble is, with sensitivity it's a case of trial and error. Hope you find something that works.

I’m getting on well with Cerave after a big skin reaction to a retinol. No more red, angry skin. I use it near my eyes, but there is also an eye cream.

Cerave cream (not the lotion)

Garnier eye cream in the red tube, Olay 7 signs night cream

I am a fellow sensitive skin/eczema prone one here and second the Superfacialist cream, works a treat!

Ooh. Thanks so much for all the responses.

I get a bit overwhelmed in places like boots with all the options so really appreciate all your suggestions.

Re the separate eye cream.. I seem to be either lazy or clumsy or maybe both and haven’t ever got on very well with eye creams but will Def give it another go.

Thank you again. xx
