Guest guest Posted June 27, 1999 Report Share Posted June 27, 1999 Have you tried Basis Face the Day lotion? It has zinc, dimethicone, SPF of 15, and I don't think there's any alcohol in it -- it's always very soothing when I apply it. A lot of people swear by Dove soap, but it's never agreed with my skin. I've found I can't use soap on my face at all any more. When I could use soap, Dove didn't agree. I used to use Laszlo black sea mud soap, which was wonderful, but is now too strong for me. I used Cetaphil on my derm's recommendation for almost four years but it didn't improve my skin's condition at all. Then I tried Aderma Septalibour, which has oat milk and other soothing ingredients, and my skin liked that, but still no huge improvement. I then sent for the Sher system, which actually is based on Laszlo principles, and my skin is thriving on it -- improvement at last. But I still use Basis Face the Day moisturizing lotion during the day as a sunscreen against fluorescent lights, etc. Just be careful to buy Face the Day -- some of the other Basis products have alpha hydroxy acid in them, which I find to be lethal to my skin.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 1999 Report Share Posted June 27, 1999 Hi ! I'm having trouble with the products I use as well. DOVE - I've used Dove soap for Sensitive Skin for years. Be sure to get the right box. The derms always said it was the best, I always liked it. 3 years ago my rosacea skin was very oily. Now it's very dry and so I think I'm going to try the Zia cleanser starting tomorrow. I know how scary it is to change anything b/c you don't want your skin to get even worse! Moisturizers - I've been using Eucerin which really helped to get me over a severe dryness hurdle. I think it's leading to breakouts now, though so I'm still searching myself. Good luck on your quest for non-irritating products! Talk to you soon.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 1999 Report Share Posted June 28, 1999 Yes, but did this calming fluid work well for you? If it has maybe it wasn't such a bad deal.
