Alternative to Bobbi Brown's Extra Soothing Balm
(slrpnk.net)
This Soothing Balm from Bobbi Brown is the only thing I've found that helps with the itching, redness, and overall irritation I get sometimes on crease of the wings of the nose, which I was treating with corticoid cream (as per doctor advice) until I tried this.
Now I'm running low and I haven't been able to find it in Denmark.
I cannot even find it on their official website, and the listings I can see are all from the UK or the USA, and I've had all my purchases from both grabbed by customs with terrible consequences for my purse…
Anyone knows of an alternative I can find in Denmark or European Union?
Thank you 🌟
Hm, I hope this is at all helpful, but could you work with your derm to find the right thing? I've had bad luck with standard skincare stuff for medical skincare issues.
Thanks for your comment!
I went to several dermatologists and they all prescribed a corticosteroid cream. I brought this balm to my current one and he just said to continue using it if it worked. A bit of a joke considering my current situation…
Been quite unlucky with dermatologists in general to be honest.
Ugh sorry to hear that, that sucks!
Do you have any idea what it is about that specific product that works? eg, does it create an occlusive layer, is it super hydrating, does it strengthen your skins natural barrier, etc? If so, that might be a starting point?
Ah, that is a great idea. Thanks!
Right now I have no clue of what it could be because I’ve only tried the corticosteroids and this.
I can feel the effect in a matter of an hour so it is quite amazing!
