Face moisturizer for perioral dermatitis

Face moisturizer for perioral dermatitis

Hi everyone,

Two months ago I experienced a terrible case of perioral dermatitis, around my eyes, lips, and nose (even earlobes) after taking some corticosteroids eye drops.

Since then I've been trying to repair my skin using sebamed omega 12%

It works well against itchiness and reducing redness. However, my skin appears so flaky and dry just the next day. After I shower or wash my face with a cleanser, I can see the flaky, scaly skin. Sometimes it bleeds too because it's so dry. My face has looked awful for the past two months and I can't find a balance between light gel (which irritates my perioral areas, burns and itches) and a thick heavy cream (which somehow makes my skin flaky)

So I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience and could recommend me an everyday moisturizing (and skin healing) face cream? I'd be so grateful!

I'm based in Germany.

Recommendations for neck acne?

I have neck acne very likely of hormonal causes, since I've never had a serious acne issue when I was young. I have no idea what to do, it's a bit itchy and it's been there for almost a year now. Any tips or products? It's on both sides of the neck. I'm in Germany.

Lotion recos that have similar effects as Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Baume

I have a atopic dermatitis and very sensitive and dry skin. I'm trying to look for a lotion that costs less but can give me almost similar hydrating and non-irritating effects on the skin.

Lemon-scent Deo or Antiperspirant?

Do you know of any that are

  1. NOT natural deodorants (it's literally all I can find)

  2. and smell like actual lemon? The Borotalco one does not smell anything remotely like citrus to me

Suggestions appreciated 🙏

I bought a sunscreen in Rome in 2018 - help me remember what it is!!

I bought a sunscreen in Rome in July 2018. I even remember the Farmacia because I took a picture of it. Farmacia Giannangeli dr. Matteo, Piazza Benedetto Cairoli, 5, 00186 Roma RM, Italy.

I believe the sunscreen was for sensitive skin. It was in a long, narrow orange tube and my memory thinks it had like an airless pump on it. It wasn’t a common brand. I remember buying it because it had ingredients I understood like mineral sunscreens. However, it wasn’t like normal US sunscreens. It wasn’t drying or irritating. It was lightweight and moisturizing without being greasy and absorbed easily. I need to find it!!!

My seven year old gets contact dermatitis from most sunscreens and I need to find one that doesn’t make his skin peel off, get red or get bumpy. His skin is a mess right now and we are having a heatwave and I have to send him to day camp and I don’t know how to protect him. I also have sensitive skin and this mystery sunscreen didn’t bother me either.

Dm sunscreens!

Yesterday I walked for the first time into a big DM store and noticed we also have a huge variety of sunscreens for very low price!
Is there any among this particularly worth it and lightweight and not greasy?

Thanks a lot!!!

Vichy Vitamin C copper colour

Hello hello! I just got the Vichy Liftactiv Vitamin c 16% and it looks quite orange, which is making me think it might be oxidized.

For those that have tried this serum before, is this colour normal?

Sunscreen comparable to Korean sunscreens

What is your favorite sunscreen that you are using this year? I have been using Korean sunscreen and love that they have minimal white cast, are moisturizing but not greasy, and very light.

I’m trying to find a new one now that I’m almost out of my current and was considering trying something by cerave or LRP?

Any that you find to be your holy grail sunscreen?

Dry skin? Ectoin! Dry eyes? Also Ectoin!

Hi there,

As someone that has gone through hell with sunscreens and skincare irritating my eyes, especially during sweaty summer days, Ectoin eye drops have been a game changer at the end of the day. Apparently, this ingredient has been in eye drops since early 2010s. It has definitely improved and almost eliminated my dry eyes (from all of the external factors). The ones I use are from Vizik (€9) with 2% Ectoin, but you should find other options in your region, since they are very common. Hope this helps! 👁️

[Please don’t take this as medical advice, it’s solely a recommendation for cases where specific allergens hurt/sting your eyes. You should always discuss with an ophthalmologist if you suspect something recurrent or more serious regarding your eyes]

Recommendations for UV protection clothes?

Looking for lightweight SPF clothes for walks. Socks, Yoga style pants and jacket covering to protect against the sun. Within the EU to avoid extra custom fees. Thanks.

Good non-oil based body scrub

Personally HATE oil-based scrubs

1 - they are often too abrasive

2 - they are extremely dangerous as they make the shower/tub floor slippery

This Revuelle scrub is pretty good : *I believe this scrub is rice powder

a) when purchased, I paid 3.00€ for it

b) almost scentless

  1. pretty "strong" (this is not an everyday exfoliation metod" but the cream texture balances it

Has anyone else become more patient with skincare instead of expecting quick results??

One thing I have noticed over the last year is that my expectations have changed more than my routine...

I used to judge a product after a week or two. If I did not see a visible difference, I would assume it was not working and move on to something else....looking back, I think I was changing products before they even had a chance to do anything.... Now I tend to keep the rest of my routine the same and give new products much more time before deciding whether they are worth keeping. Ironically,, I think my skin has become more consistent because I stopped expecting instant results.. I am curious if anyone else has gone through the same shift...

Did you become more patient over time, or do you still know pretty quickly whether a product is right for your skin???

I feel part of the cult

I don't have particularly oily skin but then summer discounts made me more willing to order (they, I guess, balanced out the 5€ of shipping). Also since I never ordered from them I got a 50ml mini mist - which made me glad :)
