Face Moisturizer

Can anyone recommend some good face products?

I used to use Clinique, but the moisturizer gel and eye cream were not gluten-free (the normal lotion is, but it is too heavy for me for summer-time use).

I have been searching for good replacements, but haven't had much luck finding anything that I like yet (I have purchased 2 or 3 so far). Someone suggested that I check out origins. The very nice woman who helped me told me that they would not say that there was not CC issues, but their ingredients did not contain gluten. I was so excited, that I didn't bother looking at the ingredient lists, and purchased 4 products.

(I am sure those of you that are more experienced with gluten-free can see where I am heading...)

So, I got home and read the labels, and 2 had ingredients that included the words WHEAT and BARLEY. :(

I was so excited as I left the store, and now I am just dissapointed (and kicking myself for not reading the darn labels while I was in the store). I have already written them an e-mail...we'll see what they say.

In the meantime, can anyone recommend any good products?

I need a moisturizer that isn't too heavy. (one with sunscreen would be great too)

I would also like to find a good eye cream replacement (the one I got from origins does not appear to have any gluten, but I am going to wait until I get a response before I commit to using any of their product)...

Thanks so much!

Personally I like Open Original Shared Link including the moisturizer and eye cream. While it doesn't say gluten-free on it, I haven't had a problem with either one. And they're easy to find at drug stores and Wal-Mart.

Cerave has an A.M. with sunscreen and a P.M. version for night. All Cerave products are gluten-free (I have checked with the company).

      @Peace lily, can you be more specific about which coffee manufacturers have told you that their coffee is probably not safe for celiacs? What you say is contrary to just about everything I find when I research this issue on the internet, even taking into account cross contamination. The exception seems to be when flavorings are added that may contain grain products made from wheat, barley or rye. This individual tested numerous coffees with a Nima gluten sensor and found no issues: https://www.goodforyouglutenfree.com/is-coffee-gluten-free/. There may also be an issue with cross reactivity for some celiacs:  https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/is-coffee-safe-on-a-gluten-free-diet/ . Keep in mind that when you ask questions of food companies concerning whether or not a product is gluten free or "safe for celiacs" you may be getting an ultra-cautious response due to the fact that they are careful to cover their backsides when the product hasn't been specifically tested for gluten content or is not being marketed as such.

      I have to agree with you,cross contamination is a big factor for me also I have cealiac and thyroid condition.2 years for me on cealiac. Am I’m still having issues. Went to my gastroenterologist in this past nov. said everything looks good . I am looking into coffee now and what I’ve read cross contamination is possible. I’m stumped. I’m so sick of being sick at times. peace lily🥲

      You already got some great recommendations. Just want to second that Mallorca (and Spain in general) is one of the best and easiest places for celiacs to travel. I have been to Mallorca multiple times and have never experienced any cross contaminations and there are SO many easy to buy options in regular supermarkets. Hope you have a wonderful trip.
