My post is focused on skincare products since I’ve become sensitive to most cosmetics.
Feel free to post about whichever skincare products or cosmetics you like or recommend.
I’ve been trying different moisturizers and products over the past 5 years, since my skin has become more sensitive.
I have rosacea, and I now react to most moisturizers. There has been a lot of trial and error involved.
Clarins, Biotherm, Clinique, Kiehl’s, Aveno Avène and Vichy are all lines I liked in the past, that I can no longer use because their moisturizers make my skin irritated.
Some La Roche-Posay products work for me and some don’t. A lot of dermatologists seem to recommend La Roche-Posay. Many also recommend CeraVe, which irritates my skin.
IT cosmetics’ moisturizer worked for a while, but now seems to cause redness.
I’ve had good luck so far with:
Chantecaille’s lily healing emulsion. I had been a Chantecaille fan girl for close to 7 years. Their richer creams don’t work for me. I like their makeup, especially eye shadows and eyeliners, but I’ve become sensitive to all eye makeup lately. I still use the Chantecaille foundation and lipsticks.
Dr Jart’s tiger grass serum (the tiger grass mask irritates my skin)
Caudalie -The samples and small jars I’ve tried from Sephora have worked well. I haven’t tried buying a larger size.
La Neige -Their lip balms and sample moisturizers have worked for me.
Farmacy- the eye cream worked well for me, the face cream I’ll have to try again.
Tula - a sample from Sephora worked well.
Tatcha- I tried a sample from Sephora , and it worked quite well.
Skinceuticals- my dermatologist sells this line and the moisturizers worked well.
First Aid Beauty’s moisturizer worked well, no irritation.
Dermalogica was okay but it had a strong fragrance I didn’t love.
La Mer- I haven’t purchased any La Mer products in close to 7 years. They do have a nice moisturizer, but it’s expensive.
