I need a good but inexpensive facial moisturiser.

Does anyone have any recommendations for dry skin. The cheaper the better :D

    I hear lots of recommendations for the Aldi one, but don't know the name. Very cheap!

    I use this one by Simple: CLICKY which I find pretty much perfect! Doesn't sit on my skin, clog it, or feel greasy or oily. My skin's bordering on dry too. (I'm 42 and look a decade younger apparently - am sure the Simple stuff has helped with a few small lines!)

    Try a couple of drops of extra virgin olive oil as night moisturizer.

    Superdrug's Natural High is very good and is often half price at £2.50. I have dry skin and use this myself. Also Nivea Soft (although I use this at night only due to the lack of SPF). Starflower or Vitamin E capsules (again used at night only - but be careful with these, otherwise the oil transfers onto the bedding!).

    I've got really sensitive skin and most moisturisers make my face red, tight and even drier so now I use coconut oil or BalmBalm.

    I get my coconut oil from Akamuti for about £6, I think Superdrug may also sell it?

    BalmBalm is about £7 for a tube or pot

    A second vote for either Nivea (at night) or a little extra virgin olive oil.

    I use the Boots Essential moisturisers. Find it suits my skin well and it's cheap - less than £2 a bottle and seems to last ages, probably only buy 2-3 bottles a year and use it daily without fail.

    I second this:)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future
  • Olay for me - the pink (cheaper) one. Think its around £5 for a decent size bottle. Great for sensitive skin too x
