I've got extremely dry, sensitive skin thanks to my eczema. I use dermaveen body wash all over my body, and wash my face with water. I use cetaphil cream after my shower over my entire body including my face. If I'm going to be spending a considerate amount of time outside I use cetaphil face cream with a spf of 30 on my face, neck and arms. I don't usually wash my face before going to bed unless I have worn make-up, then I use a face wipe made for sensitive skin, I don't often wear make-up though. If I start to get acne, I'll use a mild acne cream before bed as well.

Another eczema survivor here :) My skin is very sensitive and gets irritated so easily, usually just after I've bought an expensive new product which I then can't use! I swim a lot so my routine changes a bit but here it is:

Mornings:
*Wash face with Olay Daily Cleansing Cloth
*Moisturize with Vichy Aqualia Thermal Serum

Swim-Time:
*Wash hair/body with Keune Sun Sublime (helps with the chlorine supposedly)
*Moisturize with Nivea Body Firming Oil
*Re-moisturize with a light application of Aveeno Lotion if needed

Night:
Nothing!! Unless I'm wearing makeup of course.

I never thought about moisturizing my body twice a day, I might try that to see if it helps with the eczema any.

Nothing major with skin routine but what I do lately is just apply day cream onto my face after my shower and moisturiser onto my body. If I remember, I'll apply the night cream to my face before bed.

Cleanse with distilled witch hazel (after removing make up if I'm wearing any), splash face with water and while it's still damp add a few drops of pure rose hip oil (the brand is Trilogy). I swear my skin is better than it's ever been. I was really skeptical about using oil as a moisturiser but it's not greasy at all and it doesn't block my pores (I'm prone to some acne and it's better now since using the oil). I would recommend it 100% to anybody with sensitive skin. I also have some Burt's Bees eye cream. My little eye wrinkles are way less noticable. I'm only 24 but I smoked for years and didn't take care of my skin at all so when I noticed some wrinkles last year I panicked. WOOPS.

I have really bad reactions to things like fabric softeners - after using a towel washed with some stuff it looked like I had a chemical burn on my hand.

Neutrogena oil-free acne wash everyday
St. Ives Apricot scrub every other day
Neutrogena anti-aging creme w/ retinol at bed
Olay microdermabrasion treatment once in a while

Combo skin here too.

In the morning I use just plain lukewarm water. In the evening (after exercise) I wash my face with Garnier PureActive pore cleansing gel, then use a cotton pad with Lumene Basic Blue tonic (a Finnish brand) and a few drops of tea tree oil. That's it - no creams or lotions.

If I get a breakout (that rarely happens now that I've stopped using dairy) I put a drop of tea tree oil on a q-tip and swab the blemish gently with it.
