Moisturiser - if you had a limited budget what would you suggest?

My thirties have crept up on me and I need a decent.. or at least affordable.. moisturiser. My skin is generally dry, can be oily around the T zone during TOTM.
My husband is currently the sole wage earner so although I have some money to myself I'm looking under the £10 mark. Not looking for miracles, just hoping for a decent no frills product that will prevent if not cure!

I've always used either Clinique or Liz Earle moisturiser, I've never liked the smell of them but but then as I like the rest do the range.

I bought this (around a fiver) from Home Bargains a couple of weeks ago and I love it 🥰

I’ve been using this one from Avon. I thought I’d try because of mask induced spots and it’s actually just a really nice cream.

I’ve completely rediscovered Avon recently, cheap enough to have a few bits from and you can order online through your local rep so helping someone out directly with a bit of commission.

I have tried moisturisers at most price points over the years, and at the moment, budget isn't an issue.

The best moisturisers I have found are Nivea blue pot at night/ in Winter, and Nivea Soft for daytime. I also use hazelnut or macademia nut oil with sandalwood and lavender essential oils.

I got some kids factor 50 sun cream in the pound shop last summer for a quid. Was outside all the time, face didn't burn once and my skin was great. Fine under foundation too.
I'm really annoyed that's it's run out.

Aldi caviar is great for my dry and mature skin.
