[Review] Some reviews of affordable, easily accessible moisturisers and occlusives for those with over-treated, dehydrated, irritated skin.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Heavy-duty moisturisers for problem facial skin. No fragrances, alchohol, parfum, or any other sensitising ingredients. These products will help to repair skin damaged by over-exfoliation and over-treatment. Also helpful for de-hydrated and inflamed acne. To get best results, use in a routine that starts with layers of humecants (thin, hydrating layers found in Asian Beauty products), and finishes with oils (rosehip, sea-buckthorn, squalane). Avoid foaming cleansers, and try OCM/gentle cleansers.LA ROCHE-POSAY LIPIKAR BAUME AP+: (HG). Fantastic moisturiser with shea butter and 4% niaciniamide. Hugely moisturising, thick, soothing, cosmetically elegant. Mixes with everything (oil, sillicons, hydrators), never pills. 400ml of product in big pump bottle. Love using this. Re-purchased at least 5 times so far.EUCERIN 5% NIGHT CREAM: Make sure you get the night cream. Much thicker than the day one. Powerful moisturiser, with 5% urea, ceramides and other clinically effective ingredients. Thick and again mixes with everything. If you want to get a urea product into your routine, this is the one. Only 50ml of product so have to be slightly more sparing, but reasonably good value for money. Re-purchased 4 or 5 times.LA ROCHE-POSAY CICAPLAUST BAUME B5: Very different to the previous two products, and should be used as a mixer with them, rather than a stand alone moisturiser. It is incredibly soothing and anti-irritating. With B5 and zinc, it is anti-bacterial, calming, thick. This plays a different role in routine, repairing, reducing redness. Slightly occlusive and leaves a slight whitecast, so for evening use only. Find this product to be quite unique, especially at the price point and a great addition to any routine. Re-purchased 3 times.BEPANTHENOL: Yep, nappy rash cream. Heavy, thick occlusive. Great consistency, feels very luxorious and mixes nicely with vaseline and aquaphor, making them easility spreadable. Also mixed well with creams, for a sleeping back. Ingredients listend below. None of the 'alcohol' ingredients are sensetizing, they are all fatty alchohols, like those used by cerave, that are moisturising. Ingredients: Aqua, Lanolin, Paraffinium Liquidum, Petrolatum, Panthenol (Dexpanthenol), Prunus Dulcis, Cera Alba, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Ozokerite, Glyceryl Oleate, Lanolin Alcohol.Notable mentions to Cerave Cream, Aquaphor, Vaseline, pure lanolin.I'm have lots of experience dealing with very problematic skin and associated skin conditions, so please hit me up with any questions and I hope I can impart with some of my knowledge/suggestions!
