Re: cosmetic intolerance-aqueous cream

[Guest guest]

My face gets irritated and swollen to any/all products I have ever applied

topically, with the acception of Noritate, which swells my skin a bit but

does not irritate it. I have tried a bunch of sensitive-skin-type

moisturizers/sunscreens etc, even some recommended by Dr nase, and they all

cause me the problem. One thing I've noticed is that they ALL contain some

type of alcohol which may be the cause of the problem, or it may be

something else entirely. I notice when I eat any foods with oils in them my

skin becomes problematic (even natural oils from meat/fish), I wonder my

skin just has a problem with moisture (my skin problems usually triple in

the summer when I get more sweaty)

I do use an M.D. Forte sunscreen sometimes when I have to go out in the

middle of the day cuz of my Photoderm treatments that I use with limited

success that only has four ingredients. (Zinc Oxide, Octyl Methycinnate?,

Octyl Sallicylate?, and Allantoin) At least I think those two in the middle

are right... I dont have it right in front of me.. it causes a little extra

swelling and clogs my pores a bit but is nowhere near as bad as all the

other products I've used.
