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).

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
