I saw a medical provider a few months ago after suffering from what I initially thought were simply seasonal allergies. While I’m sure that has contributed to my misery, she told me I had eczema.

I was advised to switch up the products in my beauty arsenal, which made me even more sad about my newly discovered skin condition. At this point I’m desperate for some relief. Hence, I’ve simplified the products I utilize and opted for a more sensitive skin focused regimen.

My search for gentle alternatives has led me to find these two favorites for the past few months. Please keep in mind I am not a dermatologist, and I can only speak on my own experience.

La Roche-Posay has currently been my #1. Specifically their double repair moisturizer with SPF and their intense soothing cream. Both products are super gentle, and doesn’t sting my face like most products do with my current situation. A bit on the pricer side, but very much worth it.
