Face moisturizer help?

Question

I have tried using a bunch of different moisturizers and they all seem to burn my face, even the sensitive skin formulas without any perfume in them. My face is really dry right now so I need something. What is wrong with my face? What can i use as a moisturizer?

Thanks for your help =]

Answer 1

Try to find out if there is a common ingredient that could be the culprit. You may have to go to a dermatologist for assistance.

Neutrogena

Aveeno

I use Prescriptives but I have oily skin that breaks out easily.

What products have you tried already?  Are you using moisturizer that is for face?  

edit: I forgot about Cetaphil. I use that as a cleanser. It's gentle. But they have different varieties so you'll have to read the label. Look for gentle wash. It's a bit soothing because the ingredients are gentle. It should soften your skin. I know it does mine. It doesn't make me break out.

Answer 2

try a hydrating skin cream or just use soap till the redness goes down and then try a moisturizer. Anyways... Are you getting enough sleep taht plays a big part in it too you know.

Answer 3

are you getting enough sleep?

you gotta be healthy on the inside before it shows on the outside. so drink 8 oz. of water each day. get plenty of rest 7-8 hours a night. stay away form unhealthy foods and exercise.

try using cetaphil as a wash and a moisturizer it has worked on a lot of sensitive users

Answer 4

I started using a product called Derma-e Vitamin A Anti Wrinkle face gel.  It is water based so it works very well on sensitive skin.  You can get it from folica.com and its only 5.99.  When you apply it, its just like a gel so it seems weird at first but then your skin just sucks it in.  It also is a good preventive for blemishes.  Another good one from Clinique.  I cant remember the name but its the yellow stuff.  It works well for sensitive skin.  Your face could also be sensitive to what you are cleansing it with.  Drinking lots of water also helps too believe it or not.

Answer 5

i've had moisturizers that have made my face bleed, so i know what you mean. now i use st. ives collagen elastin moisturizer and have had no problems with it. i hope this helps :)

Answer 6

its probably dried out really bad

i use jergans but it burns

and i also use cocoa butter when its red and peeling, which is bad

so use cocoa butter, cause it works and does not sting at all

the reason i dont use it that much is cause i think it clogs pores, but maybe not
