Moisturiser - recommendations please.

Roe water and god old Nivea.

Husband bought me some Clarins products for my 40th birthday. They were lovely and my skin looked great so I gradually bought more. Clarins counters used to have Discovery Weeks - good time to buy. I look out for their special offers and buy then. My favourite products are their Double Serum; moisturiser and hand cream

It amazes me how so many people buy an assortment of creams/lotions, toiletries without considering the ingredients. I wouldn't have most of them in my house let alone on my skin/hair. Buy natural and organic and you won't go wrong. There's also a great app you can download which tells you how clean the product is by just scanning it.

Apologies forgot to mention that the app is called Yuka and is free...

*get commision

yes absolutely! ha ha

Totally agree. I get given pricey serums and moisturisers, but Aldi and Lidl’s are just as good. And have SPF in the cream too

I have been using the Boots creams for the past few years - am very happy with them. I use the serum, day and night moisturiser and eye creams. I use the one for oldies (age renew or something like that) the serum and eye creams come in grey tubes. Its not that expensive and each cream seems to last for ages and often there is a 3 for 2 offer on plus £5 as well at the moment I think. I'm nearly 80 and often get complimented on my skin looking good!

I think the ones i used to get were in a pale green tube.
So, they've either discontinued them, or perhaps changes the colour.
Perfect and....protect, maybe?

I agree with Casdon, I like La Roche Posay, they do many different ranges and are recommended by dermatologists.
If you go to a larger store where they have properly trained sales staff they can help you choose the range that is best for you. I have a variety of products as my skin varies from season to season. Their products are mainly not very expensive and are excellent for sensitive skin.

I absolutely did not know this. Thank you thank you 😊

I like Weleda and the more natural products but for facial moisturiser, the only one that does the job is Nivea crème. I wish I could find something else but haven’t succeeded yet.

Cerave night cream is very, very good.

I like there cicaplast cream as I’ve sensitive cheeks.

I use CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser, Daily Moisturizing Lotion and their exfoliating cleanser once a week.Their products are good for sensitive skin.

Why can serum be better than moisturiser? TIA

It is never better, you need to use both, do completely different things to the skin

I’m 67 and pleased to admit I have very few wrinkles, I like Elemis cleansing balm and pro collagen marine cream moisturiser
My skin hasn’t become dryer with age it’s always been oily and still is

I used Clinique from 30 to around 70 and stopped because it didn’t seem to be as good as it used to be. I switched to No 7 restore and renew with the serum on first. I find using the cream doesn’t sit so well without the serum. Upshot is I really like it and at 78 I’m told I have stopped the clock! Quite chuffed with those comments.

I used to be a fan of Clinique Dramatically Different moisturiser but something in it changed so I stopped using it. Currently, Aldi moisturiser followed ny a factor 50 face protector from Mercadonna in Spain. If ever you are in Spain, check out there beauty products. Excellent value and highly regarded. Re Boots £10 Tuesday, sign up to their email. They send you a reminder every Tuesday. There are some great deals including collegen products. £10 instead of £30 most weeks!

Their! Not there 😕

Thank you all for your input. Off to Boots on Tuesday I think.

Which magazine recently tested night creams, from the cheapest ( lidl) to the really expensive ones, and the Cien one from Lidl was awarded best buy. The testers couldn't tell any difference between this one, at under £5, and others costing £70/80!

I so agree with this. Watching my daughter use serum, moisturiser, primer, eye cream etc…..I wonder how many chemicals we are absorbing.
Thanks for the App information.

Only thing that works for wrinkles is tret A which I’ve used since I was nineteen.

AVON Care: Hydrating Multipurpose Cream for Normal to Extra dry skin.

Absorbs well, a 400ml pot lasts and lasts and and is affordable. It also doesn't make absurd claims about preserving or even restoring youth.
