sensitive skin moisturisers

I suffer from rosacea and so have particularly sensitive skin which is particularly sensitive to the sun so have to have at least SPF 30. I have tried expensive moisturisers and cheap moisurisers - the latest being Simple Regeneration Age resisting Day Cream.

So my question is - do any of you use a good moisturiser which is suitable for very sensitive skin?

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.

    Have you tried Faith in Nature? I have oily but sensitive skin and find their replenishing moisturiser very good - reasonable prices too.

    I use Avene which I believe is recommended for rosacea. I have sensitive skin and eczema and haven't had a flare-up since I started using it. They do have an anti-redness range, but I haven't used any of those products. They do have some creams with a SPF in.

    They sell them in larger boots stores. I pay about £13 for a moisturiser and about £6 for a cleanser.

    If you do decide you like Avene remember that it gets included when Boots do their 3 for 2 on skincare. The shop assistant was very bemused when I bought their entire stock of cream last time!

    I would recommend Liz Earle's range. I use Superskin moisturiser when my eczema comes up on my face, and their dry/ sensitive Skin Repair the rest of the time.

    In fact, her range has really saved my skin. Whole heartedly recommended. The Cleans and POlish has gotten rid of my acne, whilst still being so gentle it actually soothes my eczema.

    I have sensitive skin which reacts with loads of stuff and it is also very dry. I buy my moisturiser from here http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Mother-Natures-Goodies__W0QQ_armrsZ1

    I also like Faith in Nature as recommended above.
