Moisturiser - one that does what it promised at a fair price.

Has anyone tried collagen tablets?

After reading some medical skin experts views on moisturisers a while ago, I always look to see if the ingredient Sodium Hyalauronate/Hyaluronic Acid is included in a moisturiser, as it's one of the very few hydrating substances to actually penetrate the skin.

So many of the big brand names do not have it, but if you skim down the ingredients list you can see if it's there. Some brands will have it in one formulation (like Sensitive or Day or Night) but not in another.

I have a 'Simple' Night Moisturiser which has it (and it says it can be used on the eye area too so I don't have to buy a seperate eye cream ) but the Day Moisturiser doesn't have it. Lidl also did a day moisturiser with Sodium Hyalauronate and with Q10.

I have started using E45 and that's made a big difference to my skin as i have really dry skin on my face.
I also use a hydrating face pack once a week and a gentle facial scrub 2-3 times a week.

I have recently converted to E45, and my skin has never looked or felt better...and its resonably priced too!

Another vote for E45 cream from me too. You can buy a tube, which means that you're not contaminating the whole batch...........as you might do when dabbing your finger into a pot of cream.;)

I heard that Plastic Surgeons recommend it for aftercare (massaging) of facial surgery scars.

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced moisturiser for the face please, one that is especially good fro dry skin?

Thanks for reading this

Well I find mine reasonably priced because it is so fantastic and it lasts me months. It costs about £20.

Estee Lauder DayWear Plus for Dry Skin. I like the fact it has anti-oxidants and SPF 15 in it. I have tried so many, from the very cheap to even dearer than this one, and I haven't found one better, so its worth the money for me.

I used to work on a plastic surgery ward and we used E45 for aftercare, especially on donor sites, where skin has been took for skin grafts.

to prevent scarring any moisturiser is ok - e45, aqueous cream.
actually if it contains sunscreen, then even better.

don't get a tub of aqeous cream. once open it is a breeding ground for bacteria. get a tub with a push down dispenser.
