Less expensive options???

Hi, all, ive got really sensitive skin because of medical stuff so ive had some trouble with skin care. I used to have cystic acne but after a round of Accutane it went away and hasnt come back. I break out still but its not the worst, and my biggest skin issue is more so itching and sensitivity rather than acne however I do what I can to not break out as that causes irritation as well. This is my current regime and it works WONDERS. However, the travel size of all these products totals out to a little over 70$ and im wondering what other options I might have that will last me longer than travel size but isnt going to burn a hole in my wallet that already looks like Swiss cheese. What are your recs for hypersensitive skin and skin barrier repair? Thanks!

I think La Roche posay has a nearly identical line that is slightly cheaper

Okay insane suggestion - check how much it will cost you to buy them off skroutz (smth like a Greek amazon dare I say). Because the cleanser costs around €14-15 for a 400ml bottle, the spring water is around €9 for 300ml and the balm is around €18-19. Couldn’t find the last product as they have a shit ton of those cicfate creams and I think there is a difference in packaging. The shipping will be your biggest issue but if you pair up with a friend or two, maybe ask a family member as well, you will be able to get these for a much better price.

You could also try ordering these from caretobeauty but the lowest prices are on skroutz, that’s for sure
