What's everybodys favorite face lotion? I have been trying several and they all seem to not agree with my discoid lupus.

I have discoid lesions on my face as well as very sun damaged skin (not because I've been a sunworshipper, but because of SCLE) and use diprobase which I get on prescription as my skin gets so dry.

It's very, very greasy so I put it on when I get home in the evenings to allow it to soak in. It works well for me and my skin has definitely improved since I started using it a year ago.

When you say face lotion, what sort do you mean, general skin care, night, or for day and/or under make up ? Also where do you live ?
Diprobase can be got in a cream form too.

My face isn't terribly dry, but it has certainly lost it's softness with the discoid. It would have to have some spf and be ok under makeup.

Thanks!
I suggest focusing on the night care as well. My favourite skin care product range is Eucerin who also do a red skin range with an excellent cleansing cream, which isn't available in the UK although a couple of items from that range are. You are unlikely to find a day product with sufficient UV protection both UVA and UVB - the SPF refers only to UVB. I use my sun screen as foundation for my makeup. The sunscreen goes on first. I can't do with another product on top of that.
