Could be you skin has decided it no longer like what you put on it.

I haven't been outside sitting in the sunshine!! There's only rain clouds round here - none of the shiny stuff - Bah Humbug!

The one that suits me is the light fluid. It is instantly soothing and takes away that itchy wanting to scratch feeling. Boots sell it as does Amazon. I tried the heavier moisturiser creme but there is something in that that didn't suit at all.
