Looking for facial moisturizer suggestions that will relieve redness (lemmy.world)

I moved to a really cold and dry climate which has made my cheeks light up like a christmas tree. I've always lived in humid cities so this isn't something I've had to think about.

Anyone have suggestions on reasonably priced moisturizers that could help out? I checked out Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream, but at $60+, I'd like to check if any comparable alternatives exist at a lower cost.

La Roche Posay Triple Repair (the drugstore version) is really good and not too pricey, it's like it both sinks in and leaves a slight protective layer; and the Ciclaplast if you need immediate help with healing. If you are very sensitized and everything is bothering you you can also try just putting a very thin layer of coconut oil all over you while you are still a little damp after shower, assuming you aren't allergic.

The sunscreen IUNIK Centella Calming Sunscreen is good too, not irritating and very effective as a sunscreen.

I hate dry air so much. Live in a humid sea level place and occasionally have to travel to dry altitude and it's so shocking, my nose bleeds even. Hopefully you can get your skin calmed down and get ahead of it.
