Skincare products you swear by

[vondutch]

Looking for recommendations

Facial suncream 365 days of the year! Get one that suits your skin type i.e if it’s oily/dry. I love the La Roche Posay anti shine suncream. It’s factor 50+. Other than that it’s trial and error as to what products work for your skin.

Carmex lip balm and azelaic acid cream.

Cerave miccelair water, cleanser and moisturizer.

Estee lauder advanced night repair

If I was doing a longer list I'd add these and Paula's choice BHA lotion and youth extender moisturiser.

I like The Ordinary’s skin care I use daily the hyaluronic acid serum from there.

I like Nivea soft face moisturiser for daytime, and good old fashioned ponds cold cream for at night.

What type of skin do you have?

Retinol or tretinoin
sunscreen
Aquaphor

Hi OP! We're thinking this might fit better on the Chat or more specifically the beauty board as opposed to AIBU.

Let us know which you'd prefer.

I think it depends on your skin type, and your age to an extent. Skincare products I swear by might not suit someone else, and I've definitely tried products that get rave reviews from others but did absolutely nothing for my skin.

Personally, I've never found a cleanser that suits my sensitive skin better than Simple brand face wash. I follow that with No 7 lift and luminate serum and La Roche Possay Effeclar Duo moisturiser in the morning, and No 7 Protect and Perfect Advanced Night Cream before bed. I also use Clinique All About Eyes eye cream morning and night.

@ImaniMumsnet yes sure!!!

I love the garden of wisdom vitamin c and ferulic acid serum.
I also like temple spa windows of the soul eye cream.

Clinisoothe, used as a toner.

O'Keeffe's dry skin lotion. Brilliant.

All the clinique products I have used have been good.

Facetheory, especially the Retinol Pro moisturiser

Lots of recommendations here for products with retinol, acids, Paula's choice etc. If I so much as look at these my skin has a massive angry red reaction and takes around a week to heal. If trying these for the first time then try samples in shop first on an inconspicuous area of skin.

As someone prone to zits even in my middle age I swear by a double cleanse (ie wash twice) using drunken elephant peekee soap bar.

Malin + goetz vitamin E cream day and night.

Medik 8 they are a British brand and amazing quality

the ordinary AHA/BHA mask, cheap and very effective.
