Gentle but effective moisturiser

I've just done 4 months of prednisolone and as usual my skin has gone nuts.
I've got steroid induced perorial dermititis and my cheeks feel really dry and so sensitive.

Can anyone recommend a not too expensive, really gentle, unperfumed moisturiser please.

I use a cleansing balm to remove make up and cover the dermatitis in sudocrem overnight. It usually takes about 6 months to go.

Thank you

CeraVe do a great serum and moisturising lotion. I have very sensitive and eczema prone skin and it’s not caused any reactions x

I can really recommend Farmologie fragrance free moisturiser (it's the adult version of the Child's Farm children's range)

DH has eczema and I have very sensitive skin and it's brilliant for us both. I'm one of the few that didn't get on with CeraVie.

I absolutely love the Child’s Farm moisturiser in the pump bottle. Easy to buy on the high street, about £4.

La Roche Posay cicaplast baume is great for a compromised skin barrier. I've been using it on my cheeks a lot just now as I had a reaction to my Dermalogica cleanser (now stopped using) plus a combo of the weather and heating. My poor cheeks are so sore, sensitive and red. It really helps to soothe.

Thank you for all of the recommendations, much appreciated.
