Hi,

Im starting the CSR very soon, I have ordered CSR Gel, and Wash.

All I need now is to find a moisturizer for myself, but which one?

I've heard: Eucerin Dry Skin Relief Face Cream with 5% Urea

But its £10 and you hardly get any...How long does it last? it looks like it would only last a few days :/

Any other recommendations? If its in boots, that would be easiest for me.

[Prodigy]

If I could get a fast reply of a moisturizer from boots I could get that would be fine with starting the regime that would be great, since im using clean and clear dual action moisturizer which has Salicylic Acid, and it seems to be irritating my skin a little when I apply after BP.

hey Prodigy.

the best moisturiser out there is the Eucerin Dry Skin Relief Cream, which doesnt aggrivate skin, cause acne or anythingthing.

i understand your concerns over how small the tube is, so was i when i first got it. But i learnt that you only need the tiniest amount to moisturiser your face.

iv only bought one tube, that was nearly 2 months ago, and i still have like loads of moisturiser left.

think of it this way, your paying £10 for an excellent moisturiser, that lasts for ages and doesnt cause acne.

i used to spend money on loads of moisturisers to try and find the right one, but now i know i will never change from eucerin.

hope tht helps and good luck xx

What about "Garnier Pure Sebum Control Moisturiser'?

I've been pretty pleased with this stuff, is Eucerin better?

i dont know what CSR is, but if it means using BP..
im on panoxyl 2.5, and i find with most moisturisers it just goes gloopy.if you have this trouble, try Boots ACT moisturiser (the stuff in the silver packaging) it doesnt block pores, lasts forever, is cheap and rubs in with bp better than any other moisturiser ive ever tried (like, most moisturisers in existence it feels like!)

Just bought some Eucerin Dry Skin Relief Face Cream with 5% Urea.
Was looking for the magic word: "non-comedogenic" on the packaging, but I don't see it anywhere. Should I be worried?

[Stephen*]

nope, on the back of the tube it says something like "non greasy, light moisturiser" dami4n and myself and laods of other board members from the UK have been using it for months and not seen any problems.

it may sting a bit when you first start using it due to the lactic acid in it, but that is fine and will go away in 10 mins of applying.

excellent moisturiser.

[debonair]

cool cool. just checked out the eucerin website and it says "Does not block pores", so that's alright.
Although... a couple of ingredients are listed differently. Don't think it matters..

Is lactic acid bad for darker skin? Or is that just glycolic?
