Non greasy night cream for mature skin - any recommendations?

xxvickixx

My mum has asked for a night cream for Xmas, she has tried the Aldi one and says it feels greasy and sits on her skin so not that one!

She is 60 something and for her age doesn't have bad wrinkles really but she would llike something "anti aging". Her skin is normal/greasy but she likes the shine so nothing mattifying, but at the same time, not ultra moisturising either.

I've been eyeing up some olay ones in Tesco as they are half price at the moment but got really confused.

If you think you know anything that sounds promising please let me know.


Thanks

PS the more MSE the better;)

No recommendations except wouldn't touch Oil of Olay with a barge pole as they undertake animal testing on their products and underlying ingredients.:mad:

Try something like Boots own brand, I know I'm young (27) but both me and my mum agree that the tea tree stuff is quite good. I have very picky skin as does she and it seems to work well with us...

i quite like using palmers cocoa butter (or anytime of cocoa butter). although im 19, i suffer from very dry skin sometimes and i have found that cocoa butter is very luxurious, not greasy and smells absolutely yummy !

Liz Earle's superskin. Not greasy, goes on like a dream, sinks in in no time. Leaves my skin feeling velvety soft (I'm young but with really dry skin)

Pricey, but lasts a long time as a little goes a very long way

This is what they say on their website - http://ukconsumers.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10530/session/L3NpZC9xOHlkKmpoaw==

"What is your policy about research involving animals at P&G?
P&G has ended research involving animals on all our finished consumer products except when required by law. We use non-animal alternatives first. We'll only use animal testing when there are no other reasonable options."

Has your Mum tried Clarins? I absolutely love all their products and while they are quite expensive they are plant based, smell fresh and you only need a tiny amount.
