Moisturiser for sensitive skin that doesn't clog pores

14 replies

Bunchofdaffsinyellow · 07/03/2024 21:39

Hi, can anyone recommend anything for the above? I'm 38 with sensitive skin that dries out and flakes easily but also get clogged pores across cheeks, nose and particularly around my chin. So kind of combination skin but without the oiliness.
I had been using Revolution miracle cream for quite a while but recently I've found it very drying and wasn't helping at all during a recent flare up

Bioderma Sebium Hydra is a lovely and light but moisturising. I used it when I had combination skin and found it great. I used to get a lot of clogged pores on my chin but this really sorted it.

Cerave AM and PM moisturiser

@Bunchofdaffsinyellow what do you mean exactly by clogs pores? That you get spots?

There are lots of things you could try- Origins, Eucerin, Roche Posay? What’s your budget?

Are you using any chemical exfoliants?

This is good. I only use a very small amount as I find it goes quite far.

My pores are quite large and I find products eg foundation sit in the pores and can be quite noticeable (I do wear a make up primer to help with this). This can lead to blackheads across my cheeks, nose and chin. If I get spots they are usually around the chin.

Budget is probably up to £20

CeraVe or la Roche Posay Toleriane.

Oil of Olay beauty fluid
I use the sensitive skin one
Doesn't make my skin sweat and is ultra light
About £6

CeraVe or the Aveeno calm and restore range.

I use doublebase as an all body moisturiser. Works brilliantly.

I get the same issue and after years of wasting money have settled on neutrogena clear and defend. Not expensive and works really well.

I find the cerave and Cetaphil moisturisers clog my pores. I've had some success with Olay but it's a bit overly perfumed and makes me look greasy.

I keep going back to the Ordinary moisturising factors, it's really good. Just not quite deep enough a moisturiser for mid-winter, hence trying the others. I find it perfect for spring / summer / autumn though. I sometimes 'slug' it with Vaseline when I need more moisture, but that's not exactly a good daytime look!

Gnomegarden32 · 08/03/2024 11:57

Any from the La Roche Posay Toleriane range

Cerave or Aveeno Calm and restore
