Fresh cool moisturisation, even for sensitive skin

Advantages: Immediate effects, lovely smell, smoother skin
Disadvantages: Pricey! but you get what you pay for

...I must admit I have a great love of premium branded face care products and this one is no different! I have quite sensitive skin so finding a suitable moisturiser that delivers good quality without being over perfumed or coloured is a bit of a challenge sometimes especially over the winter when drying effects of indoor heating can wreak havoc on the face. I have road tested a few of the make up products from estee lauder and have found them to be really good quality and most important for me, kind to my skin. Having been given a small sample of the daywear plus moisturiser in one of the 'bonus time' packages (you get with two or more purchases) I thought I'd give it a go. The packaging is quite simple and the moisturiser itself is a pleasant light green colour. You notice the lovely fresh cucumber smell as soon as you open...

HELP FOR ECZEMA AND SENSITIVE SKIN SUFFERERS

Advantages: SOFTENS AND SOOTHES DRY SKIN
Disadvantages: VERY GREASY

...Since the birth of my third child i have suffered from eczema, which comes in different forms of severity. I get an extreme bout of eczema when i am stressed, which is very painful. I have gone for a few years without treating it, not knowing what the skin condition was. Then i was recommened "e45" by the paractice nurse at my doctors surgery. ABOUT E45 E45 is a dematological moisturising lotion which claims to " soothe,soften,relive dry and sensitive skin". It is an unperfumed lotion which is also hypo allergenic. Not all products on the market can be used all over the body, but e45 can be used everywhere! ...face,body, and hands. The bottle i purchased was in a 200ml, which cost me £3.65. It is also avaliable in a 500ml bottle, which is roughly £6.50. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Apply to hands,body,and face as often...

Review of E45 Moisturising Lotion- Dry & Sensitive Skin

For sensitive skin it is very good

Advantages: see text
Disadvantages: see text

...For anyone with sensitive skin then I recommend them any E45 product. I use the E45 Moisturising lotion on my hands and arms when I get mild excema. This product is excellent for first of all stop it from itching. It’s excellent at absorbing into the skin, and it doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy and clammy. You can buy E45 Moisturising cream from any supermarket or chemist and with anyone who has easily sensitive skin then this is a very good product. I buy a bottle or about £3.99 and it will last me a month or so. I have heard that you can get an allergic reaction from this product so as with any product read the label before you use the product But also test a small area of your skin first before applying to in large amount. When you do apply, spread the lotion evenly and rub it into your skin...

Review of E45 Moisturising Lotion- Dry & Sensitive Skin

The Best Skin Moisturizer

Advantages: quickly absorbs into skin, non greasy, reduces scars, stretchmarks and aging skin, affordable, can find at local pharmacy, only need a small amount, therefore it lasts
Disadvantages: wish it came in bigger bottle

...more harm. Through this layer, it is possible for the skin to breathe, and as the oil soaks in, it replenishes the skin as well as protects it. I received a FREE sample of the product at: www.bio-oil.info The sample I received was a generous satchet which lasted me a good 2 weeks just by using it on my face. I immediately purchased the product for the same price as other brand name facial moisturizers and no longer have dry skin. Overall this product is one you won't regret trying. I have highly recommended it to all my friends, and now i recommend it to you....

Oxy Maximum Face Scrub - Suitable for Sensitive Skin

Advantages: Very exfoliating.
Disadvantages: The cap needs some serious work. Volume of scrubby wash should be slightly increased.

...Saw this at Tesco for a cut price so I decided to try it. This product claims: . To be for men - But I see no reason why women couldn't use it . Remove dead skin - Yer Ok . Kill spot-causing bacteria - I have had fewer spots recently but I have also been using other new face products. . Reduces excess oil - Does an OK job at this. My forehead etc has been a little less oily. . Reduce redness - I wasn't very "red" before so no comment Packaging wise Oxy has pretty much nailed it. The combination of black and silver looks cool, sleek and modern. The tube is like any other non-colour wise. Nothing special here. The cap, now this annoys me a bit. It opens weirdly. Sometimes it pops open without a fight, other times it takes a while - I guess you have to get used to it. The hole in the cap allowing the substance to come out...

Review of Oxy Maximum Face Scrub for Men

quick and effective skin healer and moisturiser!

Advantages: good skin healer and moisturiser for problem skin!
Disadvantages: a bit pricey and the smell is a bit off

...My skin was normal until it hits autumn/winter time, the dry air basically dries my skin out, and constantly i feel itchy and having the urge to scratch, and this does not help with the dry skin! it makes it worst...always, towards the end of winter, i have scratches, wounds and itchy skins. Also, i have those horrible looking marks and patches of harden skins on my back! I was introduced to E45 by a friend. I knew about this brand long time ago, but thought that it was only for people with eczema or other more serious skin problems. At the end, i decided to give it a try. Did not like the smell for a start, and it is quite oily. It takes a while to get absorbed but immediately after the first application, my skin seems to stop itching. i was very delighted! A few weeks after using it, i can notice the skin patches ( because i...

Review of E45 Moisturising Lotion- Dry & Sensitive Skin

Finally a moisturiser for sensitive skin!

Advantages: No irritation. light formula that absorbs into skin well, lasts
Disadvantages: None

...I ended up using this after only being able to use E45 cream as a moisturiser. I'd tried several different creams and all of them caused irritation on my skin because it's so sensitive, so I didn't think there was anything I could use on it other than E45. Then I tried this Simple Light Moisturiser which I borrowed from my sister. I was wary of using it at first, but after a few days there was no irritation. Finally I've found a moisturiser that not only works, it doesn't inflame my skin. This cream is perfect for anyone with senstive skin since it has no added ingredients which can cause irritation, like perfume. This is the same with the whole Simple range, hence the title of the company. This moisturiser comes in 25ml bottles which are white which a green screw on lid. The design on the front features the Simple logo at the top...

Review of Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser

SENSITIVE SKIN WILL LOVE THESE

Advantages: A pack of 20 costs only £1
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...Facial cleansing wipes are what I always use to remove my make up. However, they can be quite expensive unless the manufacturers are running a buy one get one free offer, so when I saw these in Matalan for £1.00; I just had to buy a few packets to try them. I always tend to switch between brands of cleansing wipes depending on what's on special offer when I'm looking to buy them, but I always have to buy ones that are suitable for sensitive skin otherwise my face takes on a rather red blotchy hue - not very attractive! With these wipes being so competitively priced, I think my days of searching out the best buy could well be over. Right let's go to review mode - ************ THE PACKAGING This is approximately 175mm x 115mm, made of plastic in a pale green colour with a peel back resealable opening. The information...

Sticky Situation For Sensitive Skin

Advantages: Protects for 24H, great for sensitive skin and leaves armpits feeling soft.
Disadvantages: Goes on sticky.

...Lately, due to an itchy skin problem caused by an allergy to limonene and linalool chemicals contained in just about everything that possesses a citrus scent, I have been clearing out my cupboards of all ?contaminated? items and have come to the conclusion that I can either rejoice at the space that?s been gained? or shed tears at the knowledge that I will have to replace everything I?ve been chucking out! My step-daughter will be chuffed, to say the least, when she inherits the latest in cosmetics, shampoos, conditioners, face and body creams/lotions, body scrubs, hand creams, shower gels and bubble bath, and the list goes on. My latest acquisition, Sanex Dermo Sensitive Anti-Perspirant, has taken the place usually reserved for my beloved Sure... a place that is shaky at best because I?m not actually impressed. Fist things...

Review of Sanex Dermo Sensitive Deodorant

Lovely wash for sensitive skin

Advantages: Lovely texture and fragrance; quick to use
Disadvantages: I prefer a separate eye makeup remover

...I am always on the lookout for products that don't irritate my sensitive skin, yet I don't want to miss out on the luxury skincare experience! In this respect I have enjoyed using several Elemis products. I was a little wary at first as using water on my skin can lead to dryness and that itchy tight feeling and some facial washes can feel harsh, however I found this product very soothing and a pleaure to use. The product comes in a pump dispenser which is very convenient to use. Just a couple of pumps added to a little warm water in the palm of your hand and you are left with a lovely light creamy lather. It smells very pleasant and not at all overpowering. I would say a man or a woman could use this product as the packaging and fragrance are not overtly feminine. It is also great to use as your facial cleanser while in the shower...
