QV Face Moisturising Day Cream SPF 30

Australia's pharmacy SPF for skin that reacts to everything. QV is the brand Australian dermatologists recommend for eczema, atopic dermatitis, and severely sensitive skin — and the Face Moisturising Day Cream SPF 30 puts modern Tinosorb M + Tinosorb S filters into that same fragrance-free, soap-free, PH-balanced base. Niacinamide adds barrier support. $18 AUD for sunscreen that earns the QV name.

QV Face Gentle Cleanser

QV's gentle face cleanser — and the workhorse recommendation from Australian dermatologists for reactive, eczema-prone, and over-stripped skin. The formula is deliberately boring: a petrolatum and safflower oil base provides barrier-supportive cleansing, three ceramides (NP, AP, EOP) plus phytosphingosine replenish the lipid matrix, and glycerin retains moisture. Soap-free, fragrance-free, colour-free, lanolin-free. Made by Ego Pharmaceuticals in Melbourne — the same Australian pharmaceutical company behind QV Intensive Moisturiser and the Elucent range. At $12 for 250ml, this is the cheapest face cleanser in the entire Australian-beauty database — and the one a derm would recommend for compromised barrier.
