Ego QV Face Moisturising Day Cream Questions

Hi, i've recently started using this moisturiser and i've experienced some burning however i have an incredibly dry face and usually experience it with moisturisers. For those who have discontinued use, what did you switch to?

I was looking into QV because it had good reviews, but these seem based on the old formula. I use the Invisible Zinc Facial Moisturiser SPF 30. I don't get sunburnt or have any skin reactions to it. The only possible negatives are that it can make you look a tad white if not blended or if it's applied heavily. 99% of the time it's not noticeable. I should clarify I wear this as a sunscreen, not for its moisturising properties. I also only get a minimal amount of sun exposure during the day (morning and afternoon work commute). I would wear something thicker and hardier if I was planning away out in the sun.

Have you changed this cream ? My daughter has used it for two years with no problem, used a new one today and immediately her skin started stinging and went red! Although I could not tell she assured me it smell has changed too.

I usually use the qv moisturiser cream the tube version and haven't had any problems with it as yet

It's probably better to contact ego pharmaceuticals directly to recieve an.answer - in the meantime I'd recommend you stop using the cream.

My answer is the same as Brian's. Only the company can tell you if the formula has changed, but I haven't noticed any difference. Here is a link to the site where you can find a list of ingredients. external link .

I did notice that the ingredients listed on the website now is different to what is listed on my tube which was manufactured in June 2014. Anyway, call ego, it's the fastest way to get an answer.

Also I would like to add that it's best to take your child to a doctor.

I have been scouring the net for answers suspecting the same thing as I have had the exact same reaction as your daughter to my newest tube of this cream after using it daily for years to protect my pale sensitive skin. This was a perfect product and I now have to go through the process of researching and testing another spf moisturiser that won't break me out ...

Mel, your daughter is correct. The formula has changed (and smells like oats). I hate the cream now. It is too thick.and my skin breaks out. I used the previous lighter formula for around 10 years with no problem. Why do companies change things when they are already producing an effective and popular product. Hopefully if there is a sales drop ego may rethink and go back to the original formula.
