How is the vitamin E cream for sensitive skin that easily stings and reddens? Looking for an alternative to Cerave as itās not the cheapest and Iām almost out.
(Even unscented Sorbolene will irritate my face because apparently thereās a tiny bit of detergent/surfactant in it. Perfume is another big irritant.)
Hmm, have you tried Simple? I have a lot of sensitivities too, that's my go-to.
I might try if itās cheap. I just stopped buying that brand years ago when I had an allergic reaction to the cleansing oil and found the soap drying.
(It was either the emulsifier or the grapeseed oil in the cleanser. Red welts all over my face. A shame because it worked really nicely other than that)
Maybe try the Goat Milk stuff? Itās supermarket cheap and doesnāt smell of either perfume or goat. Thereās also an emu oil version usually right next to it on the shelf.
Maybe! The Moo Goo stuff also resulted in welts of doom but the Aldi goats milk soap is tolerated
Both work for me when I turn into a crocodile over Winter. Sounds like youāre super sensitive, Luck!
I joke that Iām allergic to Earth
I like it for ordinary use. For really sensitive skin I might go to the chemist for pure sorbolene - this is what they gave me at Peter Mac for use on radiation therapy sensitised skin and it was just marvellous. Unscented.
Yeah that might be a good idea
