  • Bought the Shea Butter Aveeno. Hopefully it helps.

    Let us know if it does? I might be interested in trying Aveeno too! Does it have a scent/perfume?
  • I found the Palmers coconut thing too thick, but hate to admit using the cheap tesco own brand version, although their aloe vera stuff is better (for me)
    Personally I can't touch anything from Johnsons or aqueous either.
    Everyone is different so it's really trial and error I suppose
    E45 is quite good though.
    Good luck, hope you get a result soon.

    Wow Aveeno do quite a large range for face & body. Where is the best place to buy any of the products?

    DD and I use the Colloidal Oat one for the body, I haven't tried the facial range yet as I have products I'm happy with but I certainly would in the future, Boots etc often have various offers but most supermarkets etc sell the products if your stuck, its amazing stuff dd gets various types of eczema and this really helps, I don't have any skin problems but its the only body moisturiser that doesn't strip my fake tan;)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future

    I use the Vaseline Intensive Derma Care white bottle and I find this fine to use on face and body. I personally find Dove too perfumed now, can't use the shower wash anymore :-(

    Vaseline Intensive Rescue, that's it !
  • The Aveeno cream I bought was £6.99 on Amazon. Just waiting for it to arrive in the post.

    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    I would suggest using an Avene product, there are a bit more expensive but really good quality.
    I have very dry and sensitive skin and my dermatologist has suggested using in and I have been very satisfied with it!
    I have tried the Trix!ra+ cream and the Cold Cream lotion. They both do the job, bit I personally prefer the Cold Cream lotion cause it's a bit lighter.
