    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.
    it acts as a wash and cream.

    u can use it as both or either.

    Because I'm on a serious economy-drive and have been for some time I've been using the pump-dispenser cleansing foam from Lidl. It's great! Also they make some really good facial cleansing wipes (the ones in the pink packet) and they remove eye-makeup like a dream. Highly recommended and inexpensive

    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.


    The wrinklestop is in an applicator rather like a syringe. Costs £5.99 and has snake venom in it. Might work for some but i,m avoiding it. OH lathers it on at night and face is getting redder bythe day lmao

    Ann French deep cleansing milk - have been using it for many decades, in fact since I was 18 and I still only look 20 now;)
    Stopped smoking 27/12/2007, but could start again at any time :eek:

    I have bought some of this - only been using it a few days, but the initial signs are very promising - I haven't gone at all red either!

    Oh, that's not the one I tried but it sounds horrendous!

    Amphora stuff is great though, I live in Bristol so I go to their shop now and again to buy my essential oils.

    I'm a hapless bloke in all this. Can anyone recommend a *fragrance-free* cream or even moisturiser with decent UV protection that doesn't make your face look all greasy and shiny like most sun creams? Thanks!
