Alternatives to Elemis!!

misskool

Right, I'm trying to cut down spending on face stuff (and SLS is SLS no matter who makes it right?)

So at the end of my Elemis Balancing Lavender Toner, I went and bought some tesco vit e toner (72p ) which was a big big mistake.

Got back to Elemis for now but need a toner that doesn't cost £19.00 a bottle.

I normally buy their cleanser too and am coming to the end of the procollagen cream (:eek: £75)

Suggestions please.

Look on ebay. I never pay full price for my Elemis and if you are careful no fakes either. The night cream I bought for £30+ not £90, the packaging was a damaged but the product is perfect.

Salonskincare.com sometimes have deals on Elemis like buy cleanser get toner free.

QVC will be having a TSV 25th next month with the 30ml PCMC size in it.

Or have a look at Akin range, many people swear by it.

Oh don't go near Liz Earle, its just been sold to Avon.

many here like Liz Earle. i personally like Clinique as it suits me. Avene is another very good range i like when i run out of clinique stuff (only buy during bonus time!)

lots of elemis sellers on ebay, a lot of them have unboxed items and lots of them.

Might have a look at salonskincare, thanks

My mum loves Elimis, but her fall back is Boots No.7 which she really rates.

lots of salons sell the gift boxes that work out much cheaper. I often buy them and only use the products I like, selling the rest on ebay. FWIW I don't use the cleanser or toner but can't remember if it is the ones that you like.

I like the champneys range, they sell in Sainsburys or online.

Cleanser & toner around £8 each

Moisturiser around £12 for the normal day/night cream and £18 for the collagen day/night

I was trying to move off champneys and use something cheaper but after buying 3 different ranges (none of which suited me at all) am back on it (could have just stayed on champneys for the money I spent on cheaper brands which didn't work!)
