Cleansers, moisturisers etc

I do not recommend that wrinkle stop from Aldi if you have sensitive skin. My oh tried it he looked like something from v, his forehead went bright red and swelled up. I put it between my eyes as I have a faint line there and it swelled up and I had a hard lump there for three weeks.

I used to use Yves Rocher products but now just use FCUK and Hackett (London), which I find very good. I am male btw, I am 47 and been told I look about 31.

I use Superdrug's Vitamin E make-up remover and face wash, and Nivea moisturiser I suffer from eczema and find that these don't aggravate it. Although I'm going to give Roc pads a go after reading dirtyflannel's post!

I am afraid skin care is my weakness, all my money saving goes out of the window when there is an Elemis today's special value on QVC.

Was that the day cream? I tried it as well and it made my face sting. The night cream was slightly better, but I ended up throwing them both away.

if u dont have sensitive skin then go for it.

however i do and fork out for certain brands.

but even i didnt i think id still not go cheap. anything on that level i always shell out for. even if its £10 a pop.

I have very sensitive skin and also suffer from Urticaria, buying more expensive (unless you go for something like Lush or Elemis) often means paying more just for the packaging than the product, if you look at the ingredients list it can be quite surprising x

hi there,

I have signed up to the simple skincare club (not sure exactly what its called but have a look on their website) and they do packs of simple products for a quite a lot cheaper. I signed up through a link on MSE, so if you do a search of the forums you should come up with something.

personally i like using lush ultrabland as a cleanser, and use a facial bar soap in the shower. Clinique scruyb cream is a very good exfoliator - the best i have found, and while it is expensve it does last a long time and is often incldued in the bonus time freebies. i won't buy anymore due to moneysaving, but my currnet tube will last me months.

HTH,

Ali

Big tub of Aqueous Cream from Superdrug costs a couple of quid and lasts for ages.Breast care nurse recommended this 18 months ago, and I haven't bought any other cleanser since.Its great in the shower and leaves your skin feeling good as well

This is gonna sound silly, but am I right is saying, you wash your face with aqueous cream? I use it as a body lotion for my 2 year daughter.
