Nice skincare for sensitive/eczema prone skin?

Good morning all. In the last few years (I'm 36) I've started to suffer with eczema around my eyes - previously no sensitive skin issues.

I previously used all kinds of lovely skin products and enjoyed trying new things from the likes of Birchbox. Certainly not high end but from the pricier sections of Boots or the m&s skincare section for example.

Post the eczema starting I found that lots of things would cause a flare up and I've become very wary of spending £20/30 on a lovely night oil (or similar) if I won't be able to use it.

So I'm looking for recommendations for mid range skin care for sensitive or eczema prone skin please.

CeraVe eye cream and CeraVe facial cream has worked for me.

I also have eczema around my eyelids and this has been the only cream that works.

The Aveeno and Avene ranges are worth a look.

Badger Balm Damascus Rose,they do a balm, face oil and night oil. The balm, I think, does have beeswax in them. They also have unscented

It’s pricey but I really love Pai. The only cleanser that doesn’t make my skin sore. I’ve twice recently bought other ‘gentle’ cleansers and have ended up with sore patches.
It kills me to spend £40 on a face wash but it’s that or have shit skin.
Actually it’s always shit but, less shit.

I'm massively into skincare and swear by la Roche posay cicaplast baume b5:

  • reasonable £
  • super moisturising and soothing
  • doesn't give me spots on my chin (nearly everything gives me spots)
  • no perfume

I also later it with pure coconut oil which I love, but nb this can cause a lot of people to break out, so be careful. But oils in general are great for dry skin.
