Good value moisturiser - what do you use?
Comments

Ive gone from LiZ Earle Light to Avons livv. SPF of 20ish as well and its usually on offer. One bugbear - its a pot rather then a tube or pump
I stopped using the LE pump because I found out it didn't have sunscreen.
But TBH I think I will go back to it.
I've used the Sanctuary one & Perform & Protect since then & neither are as nice & are similar prices.

It suits my skin and doesn't aggravate, which in a way makes it priceless! I order a couple at a time online and I do that probably three times a year maybe four.
Hmmmm & who recommended it to you:D0 -
olay or simple.. nice and cheap and good! i have 'better' ones but don't use them every day and buy when on special offer!:happyhear0

Simple's moisturiser is very very good. They have an oily skin one (in a blue tube) which is on my list to try next after I've finished my Body Shop sensitive skin one.
I also quite like Lush moisturisers - Celestial and Imperalis are both good and cost around £10."A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge." - Tyrion LannisterMarried my best friend 1st November 2014Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")0 -
I use Johnson's Dreamy Skin Night Normal / Combination Skin 50ml Normally get it on offer from sainsburys for about £3 I love the smell and it really suits my skin!0

I have used the Aldi one & fab for my dry skin. I'm currently using Avon's AM solutions cream - great!0

I have quite oily/spotty skin and have really struggled over the years to find a moisturiser to suit me. I love LE products but have found her moisturisers to either be too heavy or so light they end up making my skin feel tight.
After vowing never to use Clinique again after it wrecked my skin several years ago I am using their dramatically different gel for oily/combo skin. Really suiting me at the moment and I think the gel texture is making a difference.
I have so many half used pots of moisturisers I end up using them as body lotion.April £5 a day challenge- £15.05/£1500 -
oooh I love a beauty question!
I use liz earle decleour elemis and gatineau, I would have a look at some of the sets on QVC and see what bargains you can get. I tend to buy all the TSV's this way I can justify it!

I use good old Astral. If it is good enough for Joanna Lumley:p.... 99p for a small pot which lasts for ages. I only use it at night and on the drier areas of my face as I find it a bit too greasy to wear during the day. If there was an Aldi anywhere near I'd try their's too.
Day time I use a Clarins lotion which whilst fine under make up is not enough on its own to keep my face moisturised but has the sunscreen etc that I want and absorbs quickly enough to be practical in the morning rush.0 -
I was going to ask this too.
If I wear foundation (which I need as uneven skin tone and the odd blemish) I have to put moisturiser on under else the foundation dries in clumps and flakes off.
However, most moisturisers feel oily on my skin, plus I have clogged poes/blackheads on my nose and if anything goes near my lips I get spots/clogged pores around them too.
What to use??? Needs to be cheap really but if it lasted forever...0
