To ask your top 5 skin products?

[hippityhippityhop]

My skin is in need of some tlc. I currently use a milk cleanser and moisturiser. The occasional face mask. It's combination and sensitive. What are your top 5 skin care products that you couldn't live without?

You need sun cream.

I love hyaluronic acid. It has worked wonders on my dry skin. I use the Vichy one which was recommended on here.

I also use LRP Anthelios sun screen after moisturiser and before makeup.

Pai cleanser
Boots Good Skin Cica Paste
La Roche Posay Thermal Water spray
Rosalique colour correcting cream
Pai Kalmer Serum

Liz Earle hot cloth cleanse and polish. I have been using it for 20 years, I try other brands/products and I always go back to it.

I agree that the most important thing is a good daily sunblock. Nothing else will give you the same return for your money.

I also like Boots Ingredients Vitamin C Serum and hyaluronic Acid, currently on a 3 for 2 offer. I use The Ordinary retinol in Squalane. These are all budget choices and as good as many more pricey products. Alpha H liquid Gold Glycolic acid is also very good but a lot more expensive.

I like Superdrug's vitamin E range, I use their cleanser (much cheaper than Liz Earle's cleanse and polish and just as good as LE keep changing the formula of theirs) and moisturiser with SPF.

Otherwise I like Aveda lip saver.

I don't use much else, although I get the odd treat in beauty advent calendars like Elemis or Lumene creams.

I am not a beautiful woman but I do have very good skin it's pretty much the only thing I spend time and money on.

To be honest though I think the products you use are less relevant than the routine you follow. Doing a thorough skincare routine morning and night makes a huge difference almost regardless of the products you use.

No 7 protect and perfect serum
Astral

That’s all.

The best cleanser by far- that always leaves skin fresh, clear of breakouts and not dry is the Clinique facial soap bar. It's gentle on skin but does the job. Lather up with water and apply with flannel or hands /wash off morning and night. Gets rid of any dry patches and perfect base for makeup.

Nivea classic white tube £2.50 moisturiser

Clinique moisture surge tub when skin gets really dry

Superdrug Hot Cloth Face Cleanser (Green box). Just as good, if not better than Liz Earle. Had both and prefer Superdrug.

Nip+Fab hyaluronic serum

Nip+Fab glycolic exfoliation pads

Athelios Factor 50

The Ordinary Marula Oil for hydration

M&S gradual tanning drops. I like Clarion's, but these are cheaper.

Cerave foaming face wash
0.5% tretinoin
Cerave moisturiser
Sunscreen

Eve Lon cleanser. I've tried others - liz Earle etc and not a patch on Eve Lom.

Astral.

Do love the liz Earle super skin night serum though.

Thank you. All of those recommending sun scream- do you use this as well as moisturiser? Which order? Can you recommend one that won't make my face oily!
