You should research putting your own urine on your skin, lots of models do it these days. If you can get past your preconceptions it is amazing for your skin

REALLY???? :eek:

Ah ok! What is your skin type?

Combination - as per first post - although as I get older the dry bits get drier, and the middle section slightly less oily but still too oily to retain foundation etc for long!

The Superdrugs own range called B. is for Beautiful does some AMAZING skincare. It's not very expensive but performs just as well as clarins or Clinique in my opinion. They do a whole range dependant on age and the containers are colour coded so it's easy to match up products designed for your particular age range.
Cleaners wise I know they do a micellar one as I use it regularly. I believe they also do a hot cloth cleanser as well as a fab range of moisturisers and serums

Thank you so much for this - they have a half price offer on at the moment so I have ordered some

If you're going to Superdrug, their vitamin e hot cloth cleanser is amazing, it's £4.99 I think, and is gentler than the Liz Earle one for a fraction of the cost.

Johnsons tube of gentle exfoliator is great too, not as abrasive as St Ives. It's a white tube with pale pink lid.

I've been using and repurchasing Nivea Daily Essentials day cream for sensitive skin which is great under make up, feels really moisturising but doesn't break me out or make me greasy.

I have spot prone, sensitive combination skin and dread to think how much I've wasted over the years searching for the best (expensive) products! Sigh. I do like Liz Earle eye cream though, and it's got a sunscreen in it which has to be a good thing.

Good luck, it's such a minefield isn't it?!

Thanks for all these helpful responses.

I have used the Superdrug B Revealed Glycolic Cleansing Peel, the B Rescued Energising Balm and the Serum so far (I bought the day and night moisturisers (stage 4) too, but still have some to use up before opening them.) It's early days, but they are nice to use and I think my skin is looking a little brighter too. Of course that might just be because I am making an effort to actually use the products instead of my usual trick, which is to think that buying them and putting them on a shelf should be sufficient to make them work!

Cetaphil cleanser and moisturiser

Yes, I started using this a month ago and the difference in my skin is amazing. I have Rosacea and this is the forst thing I have found that made any difference.

No new spots, the skin is repairing and the redness lessening.

Using soap and water just once results in spots arising.
