Moisturer for dry, sensitive skin with rosacea

7 replies

Seagate · 27/12/2022 12:45

My mother has rosacea. Her skin is very dry and sensitive and delicate. Her favourite moisturer of choice was from la Roche posay and it was a hydreane riche. This was something that agreed with her.

We are having issues trying to find it now in physical shops or pharmacies and also online. I am not in England so I don't know if it's available in English pharmacies and I am not willing to buy online from England any more unfortunately because of delays is shipping and costs.

I checked online throughout my home country and also on amazon and on online European pharmacies and no luck at finding the cream.

She says she has tried so much before with her skin but nothing agrees with her. All the other known brands in pharmacies. She says she tried them before.

So she has no more moisturer anymore.

Can anyone recommend a moisturer. She doesn't care so much about covering redness. She just wants something for her dry and sensitive and sore-ish skin.
She has a medicated cream from the doctor but she also needs a moisturer.

Can anyone help me please.

I am thinking about buying a selection of creams and she can try them herself and if she likes anything she can have it or if it doesn't agree with her I can use them. I am looking at some night creams because they are usually thicker. I wonder would a la Roche posay night cream help. I haven't a clue.

I get on really well with Child’s Farm baby moisturiser in the pump bottle. Plus it’s £4 something a bottle so it doesn’t break the bank.

I've had Rosacea for 30-odd years. I've tried so many different moisturisers, but find that SIMPLE suits me the best. I wear the night one (thicker) at bedtime, and the light one during the day.

Oh and also the prescribed cream, do you know what it us? I’m a convert to Soolantra. Absolutely LOVE it. Complete game changer.

Dr Hauschka is very good. The day cream will be too light but the quince moisturizer was great for me when I used to have rosacea.

LRP does a range for rosacea. Otherwise their Toleriane range is for super sensitive reactive skin.

Eucerin Replenishing Face Cream with 5% Urea, you can get a normal version or rich. I've been using it for about 5 years and it's brilliant.
