help, i'm allergic to all skin products, i don't know how else to clean my skin. i even get rashes from cetaphil and it is supposed to be hypoallergenic. i use hydrocortisone to cure the allergies but i don't want to keep on medicating. i seriously don't know what to do.

Cetaphil has an ingredient in it called propylene glycol which many people find irritating to their sensitive skin. I would recommend you try a similar product line without this ingredient - CeraVe. Specifically geared toward hyper-sensitive skin. Can't hurt to try!

well then try to use water instead of skin products , water is the natural way of beauty , drink more water ,wash your face each time if you feel oily and dry it with a clean cloth yea .

I would recommend using like Pears soap. It's a glycerin soap with no perfumes or dyes to it. It's all natural. It's very gentle and mild. I buy it at the dollar store but you should be able to find it at Wal-Mart or similar stores. The only other I'd suggest is Ivory, another soap that is very gentle. One of those should work. I know the doctor recommended to my niece who has problems with her skin the Pears and Ivory for her to use due to how gentle they are. They are also reasonably priced which really helps.

Hi Tina,
I have had eczema for over 20 years and the only skin products I have ever trust to use for my face and body is Aveeno. Try Aveeno's oatmeal bar soap on your face , it's very gentle and it feels so good. It's great to bathe and shower with also.Aveeno also has a line of facial products and they are very good also for sensitive skin.
