I finally found a few things I can use and my skin is so much happier.

I got the worst red itchy rash all over my bump. Ugh. I didn't know what was causing it and kept putting more thinking it would soothe the bump. Nope.

I also got bumps from oil of olay night cream and had a eczema flare up from shiseido night cream. I think they were too highly fragrant.

I can't wear any makeup or lotion that has sunblock in it. I can only use natural sunblocks in my face.

Burning/itching arm pits for days...it was awful. I wear Secret clincial normally so I thougth I would be okay with regular Secret...not the case. I will never try switching again.

Changed to costco laundry detergent and had a head to toe reaction ugh ears should never be that itchy. As a kid we had to bring our own blankets and pillows to hotels because the hotel ones caused reactions. I've been able to use aveeno products okay but I always do a spot check. I hate itching and I don't find allergy meds really help with skin reactions. sunny on "Have you ever had an allergic reaction to a product?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-an-allergic-reaction-to-a-product#post-1428756 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 10:54:53 +0000 sunny 1428756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Philosophy Hope in a Jar moisturizer made my skin burn!!

I've used products to wash my face before that are just too harsh (w/ various anti acne acids, even natural ones). They made my skin feel raw and sting after a few days. I only use cetaphil extra gentle now! Mae on "Have you ever had an allergic reaction to a product?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-an-allergic-reaction-to-a-product#post-1428660 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 10:24:14 +0000 Mae 1428660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep. I'm allergic to a lot of stuff and most body products with fragrance/dyes in them. I like the aveeno baby unscented lotion for my hands, and the curel unscented eczema lotion for body lotion T-Mom on "Have you ever had an allergic reaction to a product?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-an-allergic-reaction-to-a-product#post-1428631 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 10:08:51 +0000 T-Mom 1428631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @MsLipGloss: actually that's true... The day I had the reaction, I had the Laura mercier primer, bb cream, bronzer, and blush on at sephora, and they were all brand new to me! I just figured it was the primer since it was sitting on my face the longest, but I ended up returning both that and the bb cream. It definitely could have been a combo like you say..

It's easy to figure out when the only thing that has changed is the addition/replacement of one product (say, a new foundation), but a little more difficult when other products are changed too (like, an eye cream and new foundation,. etc.). Not that I am suggesting that you use your face as an experiment, mind you! Just that maybe it is two ingredients that don't work well together, as opposed to the products themselves (if that makes sense). mrs. 64 on "Have you ever had an allergic reaction to a product?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-an-allergic-reaction-to-a-product#post-1428402 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 07:57:29 +0000 mrs. 64 1428402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've had allergic reactions to a lot of products, especially lotions and sunscreens.

Some sort of cheap scented lotion. I always patch test on me and LO now before committing to slathering my entire body in a new lotion.
