Very sensitive skin moisturisers

[spk]

Does anyone know of a face cream for very sensitive skin? I suffer from something called angioedema which means I have allergic reactions to certain products and ingredients but they cant determine what they are. IM 26 and I am starting to get wrinkles as I cant use any face creams currently, and the only cleanser I can use is acqueous cream. Any ideas on a hyper sensitive product that you have tried? Anything is worth a go ! Thanks for your help

I'd recommend the Allergenics range: here is a link to an online shop which sells them.  I bought them from GNC on the high street.  I used the blue emollient cream for every day and the red intensive care on nasty dry patches.  I do have quite sensitive skin which is prone to dryness, but I also still get some spots - this stuff didn't encourage them either, brilliant.  You can see on the webpage that creams are mainly made up of 'natural' ingredients - I was skeptical but they really do the job.  The consistency is a bit like E45 cream.  They also sell shampoos and body washes which you might find useful, I haven't used them though.

I have senstitive skin - more on my body than on my face - and I use E45 cream.  The lotion is probably a better consistency for the face.

A very good one is Avene which is sold in Boots.  This would be advised for anyone with dry/sensitive skin including people with excema etc.  It is made with natural, pure water and comes highly recommended!

i also have very sensitive skin and the two moisturisers I use are the Avon one in the navy tub with the white lid and the Nivea one in the pale blue glass tub with the white lid (you can get it in tescos), and have never had a problem with either of them

Clinque (The yellow stuff), expensive but good and doesn't have any purfume or anything in it. I used to use something that i think was called Aveda or something and again no purfume or anything also v good and you can get both in boots.

Agree that E45 is very good for the face - and it balances out combo skin...

Guinot "Hydrallergic." You can only buy it in a Beauty Salon that stocks this range - It's worth the cash as you wont react to it! Look up "Guinot" on Google to find distributers or the head office, where you can find your nearest salon. They will have a generous sample which you can use before forking out money for a full size tube!
