3 Best Beauty Buys: More Great SOS Rescue Creams

3 Best Beauty Buys: More Great SOS Rescue Creams
Published: Jul 18, 2022

A while ago I wrote well-nigh three of the weightier SOS moisturiser creams I’d been trying (pictured above). These were soothing, repairing moisturisers that I’d tested out in an struggle to get my skin when on an plane keel. (You can read the post here – that particular restiveness episode seems a million years ago now, what with unvarying school bugs and colds and viruses!)

Two of the SOS repair creams I recommended in the previous round-up were on the pricier side and I promised to take a squint at some increasingly keenly priced versions. Here I have three of the weightier inexpensive squatter creams for rescuing skin that’s dry and sensitive – whether it’s lanugo to changes in the weather or overly-enthusiastic using of skin peels and retinoids.

Signs that your skin might need a bit of uneaten TLC? It feels tighter than usual, dryer than usual and has perhaps started to itch or to flake. You might see some redness or it might just be that it feels rough and irritated. Sometimes mine feels as though there are tiny worrying hairs stuck to it; quite a lot of the time it’s considering my cat has walked over and rubbed his tail all over my face, but now and then, when on tropical inspection I see there’s nothing there, I know that my skin is in an angsty mood.

I have a bit increasingly info on what I do in times of facial hardship in this skin routine post here – mainly involving “keeping things simple” and “avoiding strong exfoliating ingredients” but I do find that a week or so using potent skin windbreak creams in place of my usual moisturisers works a treat.

And so, my top three eyeful buys: (more) affordable SOS moisture creams. The first two are ceramide heavy (ceramides are the fatty acids that substantially make up the outer layers of skin, helping to form a nice strong windbreak versus the outside world) and the third takes a slightly variegated route to skin nirvana but all wield beautifully are tightly moisturising and have a non-greasy finish.

Curel Intensive Moisture Facial Cream, £19.50 here*. This surf with lightweight texture, but a tightly nourishing whoopee is heaven in a pot. I have nothing bad to say well-nigh it. Dreamily fresh and tomfool to wield but with a surprising richness as it’s massaged in, it is an spanking-new all-rounder for those who want a squatter surf with widow repair benefits. Brilliant for very dry, very sensitive skin, but it’s not at all greasy so those with combination skin will moreover find it pretty comfortable.

Dr Jart Ceramidin Cream, £30 here*. Slightly pricier but still offering unrenowned value for money, Dr Jart’s Ceramidin Surf acts like a shield over your skin to help prevent moisture loss, keeping it hydrated and happy. It feels scrutinizingly medicinal, like an ointment, but that makes me warm to it plane more!

I often layer these creams over my go-to serum for stressed-skin days: the Toleriane Dermallergo, £28 here*.

This is a well-spoken fluid that’s been formulated for the most sensitive of skin and it has an instant calming effect. It contains an ingredient ripened by La Roche-Posay tabbed Neurosensine which immediately relieves signs of sensitive skin including the same itchiness and tightness and gives a powerful hydration boost.

The third surf I’ve been testing out is from the same Dermallergo range:

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermallergo Cream, £18.50 here*. There’s a fluid version as well (same price here*) for those who prefer a lighter texture or who have oily or combination skin but the surf is gloriously soothing and gives a long-lasting feeling of comfort. And joy.

(Comfort-and-joy, good ti-i-dings of repletion and joy!)

Just getting into carol-singing mode, don’t mind me.

Let me know if you have any surefire rescue creams of your own, add them to the comments section unelevated and I’ll requite them a try. I like the three I’ve picked out in this post considering they all work so well as regular, everyday squatter creams as well as SOS versions – non-greasy, well-behaved underneath makeup and not so pricey that you’re stingy with the value you apply…
