Hi all!

I am going to try out a new cleanser and moisturiser called 'calmin'

It contains;

Aloe vera
vit E
Borage seed oil
Chamomile extract
Black currant seed oil
Zinc oxide

Both cleanser and moisturiser are fragrance and colour free, hyperallegenic and high in antioxidants!

I have very very sensitive skin!

Is there anything in this product that i should be worrying about?

Guess im just nervous about trying it cos i have tried loads of products and i just flare up!

I'd appreciate advice, encouragment etc! Anything you guys can give me!

*hugs* angel xx

Well, you could be sensitive to anything, but usually aloe, zinc, and E are calming to the skin. I don't know about those oils topically.

I always found Aloe to be the best when I had a flair up, and even now, I still apply my concoction of aloe, green tea and niacinimide to most of my face and chest where I don't need more moisture and it might have something to do with keeping my rosacea under control.

Anyway, if you go to cosmeticscop.com, there's an ingredient dictionary where you can look up just about anything.
