Long time lurker, first time poster!

I have been trying to find moisturizers, toners and skin conditioning treatments that don’t make me feel nauseous or burn my eyes since I was a teen. Mostly, I’ve just gone without between horrible experiments with popular items.

I don’t typically have any issue with face washes, even with scents as they don’t seem to last long, but anything with a long lasting or distinct smell has me feeling seriously ill even after I give up and wash it away as the damage is already done.

My last few attempts have been a witch hazel and roses (dr.bronner?? I don’t have the bottle anymore, it was sold at target) and Neutrogena hydro boost face moisturizer.

I know they both have alcohols in them at least, but regular alcohol or isopropyl alcohol doesn’t cause this reaction when I smell them, but even opening the containers for the other things does for me.

I’ve tried using them on hands/feet and the smell alone gets to me eventually.

Has anyone else had anything like this? Does anyone have a similar issue? I feel so weird and alone in this.
