Replacement for discontinued bb cream

9 replies

Help please! I've just discovered boots have discontinued the No 7 BB cream for dry skin that I've been wearing every day for years.

I have some foundations I could wear, but I find that they settle into creases and dry patches.

I'm mid forties, pale, with extreme dry patches and redness - prone to eczema. Please help me find a replacement. Bonus points if it's not too expensive.

I've been using Erborian CC cream for a few years now and I'm mid 40s with dry sensitive skin and lupus butterfly rash skin, it's brilliant for me.

I get a big one now which is pricier but it lasts a good year or so.

Thank you. I've never heard of this brand... hoping their lightest shade won't be too dark for me though. Difficult to tell from the website

I've also heard good things about Erborian.

I have also heard good things about the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue tinted moisturizer, a lot of people swear by it.

It's available in multiple stores, just posting a link so you can get an idea. The shade range looks like it caters for fair skin pretty well.

I used to use the No 7 bb cream, too! Have now switched to the Garnier anti age bb cream, which works ok for my middle aged dry skin.

I use Olay cc cream, it's like a tinted moisturiser.

I used the Boots BB cream and can't understand why they discontinued it.
I've gone back to Trinny BFF which I used before. I prefer that to the Ebrorian. Both are far more expensive than the boots one though

I use the Erborian in the Clair shade. It's very light - I am extremely pale!

the loreal anti agent one is quite nice, though I still need a little extra moisturise underneath on my cheeks.
