Fancy moisturiser

Ameyturtle

if you put toner water on your face and leave it wet and apply a small amount of moisturiser you might find it works better.

you could try mixing it with a high factor suncream
although the efficacy of the suncream will be reduced the moisturiser probably doesn’t contain any (unless it already has an spf rating) ...and it'll become a bit more anti ageing - so extra bonus !- until the properly sunny days come ( you know for the three days we like to call summer!!) and then you'll need a proper higher factor sun cream

If it's one of the big companies (Clarins, Estee Lauder, etc) try to take it back. I have bought moisturisers from Estee Lauder before and they haven't agreed with my skin, they were happy to refund me. Worth a try, just explain it was a gift and that you don't have the receipt.

I use Aldi's Q10 serum, it's the best moisturiser i've ever used. It's £3.49.

if its too heavy for you its going to be 'worse' in summer months when we tend to need lighter stuff than normal rather than heavier stuff. I am with the neck, cleavage and back of hands suggestions.

Do you wear foundation? I would maybe add a small amount to my foundation when applying, it will make it a moisturising foundation without feeling heavy.

*THIS!* You shouldn't need proof of purchase just say it was a gift and isn't working for you, they should offer to help swap it for something more suitable. Otherwise it's just an expensive foot cream!

Is it creme de la mer? I thought it was too rich for me until I learnt how to apply it properly. Ruba small amount, little pea sized across tour fingertips till it melts a bit, then pat into the skin. It makes a huge difference. It was horrid when I just tried to rub it in straight from the pot.
