A few bux at colesworth for 330g. Not shiny or greasy, and being cheap you can slather it on all over if you need to - eg sunburn. Itâs not heavily perfumed - I hate strongly scented face cream. Sunscreen goes over it just fine. Sorbolene cream in the generic pump pack is my other go to if I want a bit more oomph, but this can be a bit greasy if you use too much or donât massage it in. Unperfumed. If youâre not fussed about labels, then try the baby aisle for baby lotion - this is very effective for caring for sensitive skin or combination skin. I donât care for the perfume in it though.

How is the vitamin E cream for sensitive skin that easily stings and reddens? Looking for an alternative to Cerave as itâs not the cheapest and Iâm almost out.
(Even unscented Sorbolene will irritate my face because apparently thereâs a tiny bit of detergent/surfactant in it. Perfume is another big irritant.)

Maybe try the Goat Milk stuff? Itâs supermarket cheap and doesnât smell of either perfume or goat.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
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 youâre super sensitive, Luck!

Hmm, have you tried Simple? I have a lot of sensitivities too, thatâs my go-to.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
I might try if itâs 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. Red welts all over my face)

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
