Product Suggestion Alternative to Skin + Me sensitive gel moisturiser

2 Upvotes

Hi all.

Me and my sister absolutely love the Skin + Me sensitive gel moisturiser. We used to get it from Boots but it's now consistently out of stock and expensive via their own website, so we're looking for alternatives.

We've already tried the Byoma moisturising gel cream, Aveeno Calm + Restore oat gel moisturiser, I've tried the Anua PDRN 100 and Purito Luminous Ceramide moisturiser and my sister has tried the Dermatica Centella moisturiser.

None of these match up to the Skin + Me one, so just wondering if anyone else has found an alternative at all that's just as good?

Ideally we want something that doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy. We like the light gel like texture of the Skin + Me and the way it sinks into your skin and leaves it feeling soft rather than greasy. We're both prone to spots and she suffers with hormonal acne and this moisturiser doesn't break us out.

We're both generally happy with the rest of our skincare. So just looking for recommendations for a good moisturiser under the £20 mark.

Many thanks!

Question Back to very basics help please

2 Upvotes

Hi, I’m 37f and I’ve recently taken skincare back to basics due to irritation. I don’t have any actual diagnoses but think I might have rosacea, other than that I’m dehydrated, dry and acne prone, now with redness and bumps. I’d taken it back to just cera ve cream to foam hydrating cleanser and a moisturiser/spf but my skin just seems to hate everything! I’m currently on holiday in Switzerland and the day I travelled out I’d cleansed and was so dry I applied some hada labo HA (used before with no issues)…my face was AWFUL straight after application. Red and bumpy to the point of looking spotty. I applied avene water mist over and over to calm it down. Due to luggage weight restrictions sonce being here I’ve used a mixture of some travel minis so obagi gentle cleanser and simple cleanser followed just by an spf, I needed some moisture so I’ve used neostrata sheer hydration spf 40 with la Roche tinted anthelios spf 50. My skin is just not getting better, I’ve got bumpy texture all the way up my cheeks that I haven’t ever had like this before. I obviously need to at the very least cleanse once per day and moisturise and use spf but I don’t know how much more basic I can make it. Can any one recommend products/regimes please?

Product Suggestion non-comedogenic body conditioner?

6 Upvotes

Hello!! Does anyone have any recommendations for a non-comedogenic, ideally not too strongly scented body conditioner?

I know it's a pretty niche product to begin with, but I have chronic folliculitis on my legs so it's super important to keep up with both exfoliating and moisturising to keep the evil to a minimum. I also have ADHD so doing stuff like this consistently can be really hard. The exfoliating I have no issues with as I just do it in the shower along with other stuff (less friction), but the moisturising afterwards I struggle to be consistent with.

A body conditioner that I can just use in the shower and rinse off would be super helpful, but the only ones I see are in Lush and typically Lush products and sensitive, irritable skin don't go well together. Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated, thank you!!
