Hello,

I have a performer with eczema who requires a barrier cream.

Do you know which is the best under makeup?

Thank you for your tips!

Hi there!

I have eczema around my eyes now and then. I have tried numerous products over the years and I now swear by Aveeno! It is the best moisturiser I have found and the one I reach for without hesitation when I need to put some makeup on (and when I dont). It has very good moisturising performance which is the main problem with eczema and it also does not soak away to nothing when applied. It leaves a nice moisturised feeling over the whole day and I find it a brilliant alternative to primer as it sits nicely under liquid or cream foundations (I also mix foundation into a bit of it for a sheer finish if I want a polished look but don't want to try too hard). You can add a silicon based primer for added smoothness (and that barrier-esc feeling), this will create a nice canvas but definitely need a nice moisturiser before priming and Aveeno is formulated with Eczema/dry skin in mind! I have dry patches and an oily t-zone and Aveeno works brilliantly all over without the need for primer or different products for the different symtpoms.

Haha - just read this back - I sound like I am on commission!!
