Best budget body cream/lotion?

[Bluesheep8]

Hi all, just wondering which budget body lotions you're all using/would recommend? I'm currently using the Vaseline cocoa radiance one (in the bronze coloured bottle) it cost £2 and am quite impressed....

Tesco sell an own brand cocoa butter one for about £1 for a big bottle, works a treat. Also, Aldi jars of coconut oil for £2.50 (keep in a warm room so it stays liquid, or apply lumps to your skin and it melts on contact).

The nivea one in a lilac bottle with a royal blue cap (unless they've repackaged it in the UK, I'm in the US), the extra moisturising one. Its the only thing which really helps my extra dry skin and leaves it soft and silky all day, rather than my skin being back to dry after a couple of hours.

Superdrug vitamin e in the large tub I find brilliant.

Think it's around £3.50.

Aquareous cream, about £3 for a HUGE pot from the pharmacist. It's slightly white when you slap it on but dries quickly and keeps skin moisturised all day. I really rate it!

I had a flare up of excema at the start of pregnancy so bought that and some Aveeno and I can't believe how good a cheap cream is. I wish I'd known years ago.

Garnier does a HydroLock one that I am using at the moment which is reasonable priced. For dry dehydrated skin it says.

Sorry, it's HydraLock I've just checked

The cocoa one and the she one are just as good if not better than ones I've bought at over ten times the price.

Will check those out too, thanks everyone, as mentioned by another poster, the cheap ones can be just as good as much much pricier ones. A beautician once told me that it doesn't matter what we use on our skin as we get older as long as we use SOMETHING and that it's the action of massaging it in that benefits the skin most, not what's IN the product, iyswim

Aldi do an own brand of the spray (like the Vaseline one but cheap-as-chips)

I bought the oat one but DD procured it
She likes it, she does have a sensitive dry skin (she's using Aveeno shower gel and face cream but its ££)

Palmers Cocoa Butter for me, often on offer too

[PollyPerky]

Neutrogena sometimes on offer at Boots or Tesco for £3 ish otherwise a fiver for 400mls.
