Best moisturiser?

I get dry skin on my face, especially around my nose and between my brows, what moisturiser would you recommend??

I've tried E45 cream and lotion, but it doesnt work :(

    Well I have dry/sensitive skin & I have eczema. I've gone through £££ of pounds looking for a good one & tried Clarins/CliniqueL'Oreal etc....& finally settled on Aldi Q10 pot for £1.99!! Non greasy & they have a day & night range. Also tried the serum for £3.49 & its great for use under the moisteriser int he winter or alone in the summer.

    Worth a try for £1.99, don't you think!?

    Try Vit E oil

    Either the capsules or the bottled oil. If you buy the caps, then you get double benefit of actually taking them as well as putting one on your skin at night

    I can also recommend the Aldi Q10 and Serum, I was using the Olay before this, and I actually think the Aldi Q10 is better.

    i have just discovered soap and glory wish upon a jar. Its a collagen 21 day course and its GORGEOUS. Then when thats done, liz earle does a nice one and for super dry skin, elizabeth arden 8hr cream moisturiser is FAB.
  • I love Nivea - been around for such a long time it must be good :)

    also a bit of Bio-Oil now and again works for me

    Just want to say a massive thanks to those who suggest the Cheap Aldi/Lidl stuff. I got my OH to pick me up some a few days after I made this thread and all my dry skin has gone!!! :D

    Plus they say you should start using anti aging stuff around my age (im 20), and i'd never thought about it before, so now I should stay 20 forever right!?!?!? :rotfl:

    Thankyou!!!!:j

    OP, you might have a problem with the ingredients. I certainly find that creams with paraffin for example, make my skin worse.

    I suggest this: http://www.handmadenaturals.co.uk/shop/shop.php?action=full&id=157
