Help! My moisturiser’s been discontinued!

[FortunataTagnips]

I’ve been using REN’s V-Cense day cream for years. It was the perfect moisturiser for me and now it’s gone. Sob.
I loved the fact that it was unperfumed and left my middle-aged, easily irritated skin feeling soft and well-hydrated but not greasy.
Can anyone recommend a good alternative? Thank you!

My Clarins moisturiser was discontinued earlier this year, and I am using a Cerave one now which is about 1/3 of the price.

I really like the m and s pure brand. Well priced, different options. Vegan.

Ah I felt like this after Boots discontinued their amazing Sanctuary day cream about 9 or 10 years ago, I've never found anything else like it in that price range!
Do you have a l'Occitane near you? I'd recommend going in and asking if you can try some products out as their Immortelle range might be good for you and they have a few different options e.g. rich cream, emulsion (a lighter cream) etc.

After spending £££ on creams I discovered this. It's a pound or two cheaper in savers. Rich but not greasy, soothing on my sensitive skin.

Curel intensive moisturiser

Ever since having some Elemis products used on me two years ago I’m a huge fan, pricey but lasts a decent amount of time and the results have been really good.

Another Curel fan!

Thank you! Some very promising options here…

Have you tried the REN evercalm range? Developed for sensitive skin

The best moisturiser I've ever used I found a couple of years ago and haven't changed since. It's from aldi and less than £2!

@wheresmyshoe I used to use Evercalm but eventually found it a bit too light for my skin.

Aveene

Big Cerave fan here for my own similar sounding skin. Or if you want something a little fancier the Alumier HydraCalm is nice.

Dr Sam Bunting. The only skincare range that doesn’t make my skin crazy.

The Ordinary natural moisturising factors + HA.

It's light, non greasy, but moisturising enough and very affordable. Unperfumed as well.

A million percent second Cetaphil. It totally transformed the texture of my dry rough menopausal skin, my skin is soft supple and not a bit dry. After years of expensive creams and serums I'll never use anything else ever again.

Hey did you manage to find something that works for you? Been using Ren V- cense for years and am stuck trying to find something as calming:-)

Elemis Marine cream fits the bill but it is pricy. I've discovered Aveeno calm and restore moisturiser which is pretty good and has good reviews. I tend to alternate!

Dermalogica do a Calming range for sensitive skin which is super-gentle. I have sensitive skin and get on well with their oil free Active Moist and Intensive Moisture Balance daily moisturisers. I’m gradually shifting over the intensive one as I age, but Active Moist was good when I was younger and more prone to hormonal break-outs. John Lewis stocks a limited range and you can order online.

@FortunataTagnips , my skin is super sensitive and Eczema prone. I absolutely love Altruist available on Amazon and as cheap as chips. Definitely worth a punt.

Thank you, @Icanthinkformyselfthanks . I’ll take a look! I’ve been using Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream, which is lovely, but £££££.
