Anna - I don't think i would do well with Bee Venom either, especially if my reaction to insect bites is any indication!
I meant to come back here to post about this - Aquation - which Dr. Dray reviewed and it sounds like it may be a "lighter" form of Vanicream/Cerave. http://aquationcare.com/ i may give it a try at some point to see if it would work for me. I also forgot to mention that Eucerin has some good and under-emphasized products for sensitive skin I like the SPF30 sunscreen, both of the cleaners, the Q10 and the redness relieving lotions/creams https://www.eucerinus.com/products/face-care Sometimes can be hard to find in the store, though you can order from Walgreens or Amazon.

I used to love Boomsticks. For me the blush really stayed put while looking natural. This was years ago when she first introduced them. Over time the prices went up, shipping went up, and the product size shrunk. At a certain point it wasn’t worth it anymore.

I have been using Aveeno Active Naturals Nourish and Moisturize Shampoo for years. Paula Begoun recommended it as an inexpensive drugstore option.
Well they discontinued it and I cannot find it anywhere without spending $40. I tried their Pure Renewal shampoo -it is in a similar tall slender bottle. Terrible. It left a residue in my hair maybe because of the minerals in our water but the old shampoo didn't do that. It just doesn't feel clean AND my hair is actually drier. I think because it is sulfate free? Their new line of shampoos are sulfate free and the reviews were bad. I just called Aveeno (J&J) and they tried to get my personal info. No thank you, I just called to ask what they would recommend as a replacement. They confirmed it was discontinued they asked why I didn't like the Pure renewal. I told them then they tried to get my info again to report it as an adverse event to their medical department! I told them it wasn't an allergic reaction but the product stinks. He kept pressing me so I hung up. So no aveeno hair products for me. Any suggestions for a drugstore shampoo that doesn't strip hair but is good for dry, heat styled hair? I use Neutrogena Triple Moisture daily deep conditioner which I love but I think the shampoo might be too heavy with the conditioner. I may break down and buy Paula's Choice Shampoo again. |

Leslie, I like this brand of shampoo and conditioner. I have bought the 16 ounce size at Walmart, and the larger sizes at Wegmans and on Amazon:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Renpure-O...bd&athena=true It is not that price in the store for the sixteen ounce size. It is several dollars less. I have fine, dry, curly hair. I also like Trader Joe's Nourish Spa Shampoo. I have not purchased it in awhile. Hopefully they still carry it. ETA: You can find this brand in Walmart and Walgreens: https://www.walmart.com/ip/OGX-Renew...13-Oz/17177030

I have to be careful to use shampoo and conditioner that's not heavily fragranced. In general Biolage and Paul Mitchell work quite well for me. Where I live both are available in drugstores and Walmart salons. They do have products geared to meet your needs, but since my own hair/scalp seem different than yours I haven't tried them.
Definitely check around on price. The liters give a better value for money, and go on sale fairly regularly.
