Moisturiser for sensitive skin

My skin reacts easily and can be super sensitive once it's triggered so I try not to change products too much. After trying many different face creams I found nivea sensitive worked for me. Its in a white pot. I'm finding it difficult to get hold of now and the one in the tube isn't the same
I don't mind paying more than nivea but can't afford £££
I can't use simple or the body shop. Both bring me out in a rash

That’s interesting @stayathomer my skin hates simple, e45 too

Another vote for the avene extreme tolerance moisturiser, I use the light one for daytime and rich moisturiser at night

Avoid Simple if you have sensitive skin of any kind- it's a brand which 30-40 years was marketed towards acne-problem-blemish prone skin (similar to Clinique) but has been re-targeted over the years to some airy fairy gentle nature blabla brand. It's very very harsh on skin- a dermatologist told me it was one of the harshest brands on the market as it was always intended to strip skin of oils etc.

La Roche Posay Toleriane is good for sensitive skin. As is the Avene one mentioned.

CeraVe cream

Avene is great and Temple Spa is good too.

That's so funny you'd say that, I was just on mn the other day saying about e45, put it on my 7yo's excema prone skin and he started screaming, like proper burning screaming. Looked at the packaging and it said 'even for sensitive skin' so not really for sensitive excess prone skin at all even though all the pharmacies jump to offer it to you (Roche Posay, Moogoo seem to be the only thing that do the job.) I think advertising totally drags us in the wrong direction sometimes!!!

I have really sensitive skin and get on with Dr Botanicals, the Ordinary, Nuxe and Origins face creams. They are all at different price points.

I have very sensitive skin. All moisturisers make me breakout, apart from aveeno. It's great.
