No SPF. This is for arms, legs, etc. not for my face.

Thanks!

Your skin sounds like mine and I swear by Cerave. They make a full product line. I use the moisturizer from head to toe. They also have a heavier cream that I use in the winter. They now even have a suncreen with zinc. My skin is SUPER dry and sensitive, and I have had no issues. The stuff is great.

Just something to consider if you're not already sure, are your issues with soap itself or with some of the additives? I can't use "regular" bar soap, but I'm fine with liquid Dr Bronner's, pure olive oil bar soap, and the handmade soaps my sister sends me every Christmas.

As far as facial cleansing, I like Devita's product there too.

My main problem is showering.

FWIW, unless I've been into something particularly dirty, I only ever use soap/shampoo/other cleansing products where hair grows, on my face and for handwashing. I'd read that that's all that's needed, I've been doing that for at least 30 years now, and I don't have mushrooms growing on my arms or belly yet ...

Not trying to hijack this thread, but do any of you know of a good soap-free shower gel or similar?

I received a sample of L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil and fell in love with it enough to buy a full size. It is a thin oil, so I don't think it has soap in it (I haven't researched it so I'm not sure). It's been so great that I've not needed to use moisturizer since starting to use it. It's not cheap, but a little goes a long way.

Cerave does make a wash I think. I have also used Cetaphil wash with no issues.

Not trying to hijack this thread, but do any of you know of a good soap-free shower gel or similar? The one I used for years is no longer being made, and now I've had problems, too.

Also, I've found a lot of African American products are very good for the skin. Found an actual shampoo that doesn't hurt my skin or damage my hair. I like Brazilian Keratin Therapy, though haven't tried any other products from this line. (Actually, I'm not certain this is supposed to be an ethnic product, but it appears to be. And I've used others in the past that definitely were).

The Cerave sounds interesting RNRLLGl. Do they have any soap free skin cleansers?

Hijack away. We love these products. I use their shampoos and soaps often http://www.alaffia.com/index.asp

My favorite moisturizer is their shea butter blissful baby moisturizer. I find it a little heavy for during the day but putting on a little at night is great.

Thanks for the Cerave recommendation. I bought some yesterday.
