Most nourishing face creams

Hello Sparkling, I use Astral and it's fabulous, it really penetrates the skin. It used to cost £5 but since the pandemic has now reached £8.50, however it's a massive tub, well worth the price. Also Aldi as a serum goes deep in a few minutes, I don't know how much I pay for that, but very little!

Best of luck

British brand, go direct to there website, send e e-mail asking for help they are very helpful , Also available on qvc

Moisturisers only sit on top of the skin so I would suggest you try something with hyaluronic acid in it. It isn’t acid as you would think but a molecule that holds moisture in the skin and so hydrates making it feel less tight. Superdrug are good on these products at a reasonable price or Boots. Also as boring as it is, try to drink more water.

Another good one I came across by accident is Victoria Beauty Hyaluron lavender and liquorice cream, billed as being for 60 to 75 year olds. It’s about £6. I only bought it to make an Amazon order up to the free delivery level, but chose to get it again after that. It’s a good consistency, and smells lovely.

Weleda Skin Food here too, about £7. 99, available in Sainsbury's, Boots etc. I also use a Factor 50 suncream on top.

Avon avocado face cream, £3, works wonders for my very dry skin. It's light but rich with a fresh pleasant smell. Have always been a dry skin person, when others my age (18 at the time) used Outdoor Girl Moisturising Cream, I used the Over 30's kind!

When I was in my 30s I had a serious skin reaction (hugely swollen face / no eyes / blobby nose) and the dermatologist told me to use Cetraben. It's very cheap and lasts for ages. Smooth it on, leave it for a while and wipe it off. Although I have frown lines etc I don't have as many wrinkles as some people my age, though I know it could be genetic.

Aldi skincare products are very good. I do wonder how they get away with it, and understand the annoyance of the companies who put all the work and research into a product that’s simply copied.

I’ll admit I’m not above buying them though. The “Jo Malone” perfume is amazing, and actually lasts longer on my skin than the real thing.

Weleda Skin Food - inexpensive (our local Morrisons stocks it) and it comes in a ‘light’ version for daytime.

Gagagran, maybe someone medical does need to look at your eye, if only one is dry/itchy could be some infection in the eye perhaps? Let Dr, or pharmacy, or opticians have a look first, and in meantime, just wipe each eye with a separate cotton wool pad dipped (& squeeze out excess water) in cooled, boiled water, or a tiny bit of salt in the water.(like we were advised when our babies were having eye trouble)? Then ask pharmacy for advice on what to use in future on your eyes.maybe just pure coconut oil would be best?

This is a review on Aldi products:

Aldi do some very good day and night creams. The most expensive one (less than £6) had a very good write up in a beauty magazine. I tried a Nivea Q10 when Aldi ran out of stock but it irritated my eyes so I used ordinary Nivea Cream which is very good too.

I use Neals Yard cream,very good and reasonably priced.

Maybee70- my mum used to use golden eye ointment if she,(or we) got a stye on the eye, but when i got one (think it was last year) chemist said it doesn't exist anymore! I had to ring Dr and he had to prescribe antibac eye cream. I was annoyed, because golden eye ointment was good stuff, & useful to keep in medicine box.

The name of the game is exfoliate.

Never needed creams when i was younger, but now im almost 58 decided to use a bit in winter, as my skin had got a bit dry with having heating on- gave Estée Lauder a try, (expensive, but in Debenhams sale!) But it seemed dryer still! Have decided I'll try good old Nivea, it was good enough for my late mum& gran, and they too had good skin.(my gran had smooth almost wrinkle- free skin till she died, in her 80's!) Good younger skin runs in our family though i think, so we are lucky.

Another vote for Nivea Soft for day and Blue for night. Cheap as chips and helps make (my) skin amazing.

Eye make up removal -micellar water is good

I have been using Highborn moisturiser and eye serum for about 3 years now. The moisturiser feels light but really works. Products are all natural and the company donates a percentage of profit to Breast Cancer Research. Not the cheapest or extortionate prices. Seems to last for ages.

I swear by Cerave

My daughter put me on Jason's Vitamin E Moisturising cream. Think it cost about £11, but a little goes a long way. Ceertainly worth a try.

I always use a vitamin c serum and a hyaluronic acid serum before applying a face moisturiser. My skin is very dry, but the serum has helped it. I have tried many different face creams over the years from rather expensive to super cheap, I found no difference, so now I look on line and buy any that are for dry skin over 50 age and cheap!!

Well, opening this thread was a disappointment. I misread the title as Most Nourishing Ice Creams. I was hoping scientists had made a wonderful breakthrough and I was going to read that my guilty secret cornetto was good for me !

I use Elemis - expensive in shops, but I buy it from QVC and take advantage of their easy pay system.
