Tried the Kmart unscented moisturiser - I had my fingers crossed but within seconds there was a faint growing sting. Guess I have to keep getting the one that does seem to be ok.

Life is a sensory nightmare ๐Ÿ‘

Iโ€™ve found Cetaphil to be good for sensitive skin, and I think QV is ok, too

For some reason the Cetaphil cleanser burnt my skin? I think they've changed something because there are other reviews about it. Otherwise I'd go back to using it, it was alright before. QV might be an option.

I do well with Cerave lotion but was trying to see if the cheaper Kmart option was any good

QV Cream has been the only moisturiser that hasn't eventually caused bad reactions for my skin. It can be a bit expensive and it's hard to know if it will work out before buying a tub of it and trying it, but it does goes on sale sometimes at pharmacies.

Thanks, I might pick some QV up when my Cerave runs out.

My skin even hates sorbolene for some reason. So champagne tastes on a beer budget lol
