Economical body lotion

Options
I seem to use quite a lot of body lotion as I use it after every shower.
This is proving quite expensive and Tesco seem to have stopped selling their own brand which was very reasonable.

Can anyone recommend a body lotion which is good value and not too highly perfumed or anything ?

I actually really like Aveeno but that is around £5 for 300ml if I get it from amz and doesn't last very long.

Your suggestions would be very welcome.

    I have quite expensive tastes in cosmetics and toiletries, but this is a budget product I love.

    Baby lotion / baby oil?
    I have a face as smooth as a baby's bottom. Which is more than can be said for my bum

    Aqueous Cream? Ask at the pharmacy counter and they may have big cheap tubs.

    Do you have a TKMaxx/Homesense anywhere near? They do lots of decent body lotions for reasonable prices. Large sizes usually so should last a decent length of time.

    Baylis & Harding is very cheap but I find their body lotion is very thin and runny
  • I use Aldi's Lacura or Superdrugs Vitamin E lotion. Both very reasonably priced and very good

    I'll 2nd the Superdrug Vit E cream. It's excellent & got rid of my dry skin. It's easily absorbed as well.

    Another vote for Garnier and Aldi's own brand :) Superdrug also is good!
