I know I'm supposed to use the Eucarin one, but I really want to find an alternative if I can. However I get scared when going to boots or superdrug since a lot of them seem like they have comedogenic ingredients.
I saw the Boots Oil free moisturiser with "fruit acids" which looked okay but I was afraid it wouldn't be moisturising enough. I want something really creamy that is cheap so I can really glob it on. Any ideas?

I have that, but it's A) expensive to buy here (Almost as much as the eucarin where I found it) and B) not creamy or moisturising enough to prevent flakes.
Oh, sorry I thought you meant "Lily Of The Valley"...I don't know if you can get FOTE here.

Can you get Cetaphil in the UK? I haven't seen it anywhere.

This is what I've replaced my eucerin with.
Very cheap (price and packaging wise) but get's the job done. Thick and quite sticky when you apply it to the face, but absorbs very quickly leaving a matte finish (whereas Eucerin is greasy in comparison.)
You can grab it from boots or superdrugs for under 4quid, absolutely bargain in my opinion. Don't skimp on it though, use liberally.

It's cheap so won't hurt (much) if it doesn't work out for you. Personally I loved it, and I've tried quite a few moisturisers before settling on this. (2 Olay, 2 neutrogena and recently eucerin.)

if youre on the regimen, my favourite is Boots Act.
its a great, oil free, cheap range.and one of the only moisturisers ive found if using a lot of bp, that doesnt mix into a horrible gloopy white mess (blaming it on panoxyl)
