I have very sensitive, red, dry skin, so finding a moisturiser that ticked all these boxes was difficult and like anyone else out there i don't really want to be spending a fortune when it will run out in a month or so! So, my mission began....
Oilatum natural repair face cream - This moisturiser claims to deeply nourish dry, irritated, sensitive skin whilst relieving tightness, leaving it feeling smooth. It also contains natural ingredients. This retails at Boots for around £7.65 so it isn't too expensive either. Oilatum have a huge range of products for your body and hair.
I have used this product for about six months now and i love to use it just before applying my makeup to help it look glowing whilst acting as a great base to help my makeup stay on alot longer. The only negative i found with this product was it felt a little heavy.
Avène Skin Recovery Cream, Calming Formula- This moisturiser claims it is for fair skin, prone to redness skin, thin skin or any skin which has been effected my over cleansing, cosmetics, drying or treatments. It has anti irritating properties which helps to provide long lasting protection. All i can say about this, is that it does exactly what it says on the bottle!
I have been using this for about two months now and i think it may replace my Oilatum. It is super lightweight on the skin and i must admit, my skins redness has pretty much disappeared and my blemishes seem to have made a runner too! It is slightly more expensive and you do get a smaller bottle. From Boots it retails at £12.50 so if it is a price war then the Oilatum wins hands down, but if you are looking for a more lightweight moisturiser that doesn't feel heavy on your skin, but wipes away that redness, soothes dry skin and still works fine it you have super sensitive skin? Then i have come to the conclusion that the Avène Skin Recovery Cream wins for me!
I hope i have helped you if you are in a moituriser rut like i was!
Have a nice day! :) xx
