Hi everyone!

So I've been having some real problems with my skin lately and it's driving me up the wall, so I was wondering if anyone out there can offer any advice for me.

My skin type is dry and sometimes sensitive, but I'm usually able to maintain it well with gentle skincare products. I use liz earle cleanse and polish, and occasionally mix that up with a gentle exfoliator. When it comes to moisturisers I have been swapping and changing and have yet to find one I'm completely happy with.

A couple of years ago I had the contraceptive implant put in and since then I've become a lot more prone to really stubborn breakouts that can come up quite sore and take months to clear, only to reappear a week or two later in the same place.

At the moment I've switched to an SBC gel system, which has done wonders for clearing my skin, but the downside is my skin is so dry and prickly feeling.

So basically the richer moisturisers break me out, but anything else is not rich enough!

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I soothe my dry sensitive skin without overloading it?

Also, I have a same problem with eye care - the gatineau roll on is lovely and soothing yet lighter than other creams I've tried, but still leaves me with millia. Help!
