Moisturiser similar to Skin and Me

Hi everyone

I currently use the Skin and Me light moisturiser which works well for my skin (combination and can be reactive so I only use gentle products.)

I like this moisturiser but unfortunately I’m finding it too expensive (around £24 with postage) and it doesn’t last long enough. Can someone recommend one similar to this that is also gentle and hydrating? Thanks.

Cerave is good. So here is my routine that I follow with that:
Morning:
Using micellar water to clean my face,
Sebamed clear face gel,
Amber Solaire Uktra spf
Evening:
Cerave hydrating moisturizer with ceramides,
Tretinoin (0.1) from skinorac
Sebamed clear facial gel

I've got combination skin, which is a little reactive, and use Skin & Me.

AM - I also use cerave (I use moisturising lotion),
PM - Aveeno calm and restore gel (gel, but creamier/ thicker) or upcycle moisturiser (thicker again).

Found them to be better for me than the skin & me moisturiser.

Thanks, I’ll try Cerave first and see how I get on with that.

how are you getting on with skin and me? I'm 6 weeks in and skin quite red and pimply.

I didn’t get on with the Skin and Me daily doser. I tried it for a couple of months but it was making my skin texture quite bad so I stopped it and only use their moisturiser now. I got better results by using Paula’s Choice BHA and switching to Cetaphil face wash.

interesting, I will give it another month as they do say skim gets a bit worse before it gets better.

How do you find the Tretinoin? I’ve been thinking of trying this but my skin is quite sensitive so I’m unsure.
