Brief Answer:
Good to have stopped the new moisturizer!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Not all beauty products are friendly to all customers. It is possible that there is an ingredient in the new cream which causes this adverse reaction. It is certainly a mild form of allergy to this product. The best way forward is to stop and try some other brand or return to what you were using before. Unfortunately, I cannot tell for sure what exact ingredient is responsible for provoking this reaction.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if you need more information or clarifications.

Kindest regards!
