Need to find cheap(er) skincare products please!

[FrayedKnot]

Have been using Clarins for past 2 years, really suits my skin, don;t want to stop using but simply cannot afford atm.

Used to use Boots hypoallergenic but moisturiser in particular is not enough for my skin anymore.

Recommendations anyone?

Sorry forgot to say must be hypoallergenic can't use things like L'oreal, and must be for extremely dry skin.

what kind of skin do you have?

have you tried nivea soft or oil of olay (oil of olay do a sensitive lotion)

or body shop

St ives is good and cheap too

liz earle?

liz earle -fab stuff.

liz earle isnt cheap though

I've been using Neal's Yard stuff for 2 years now and I love it. The frankincense moisturiser is the best I've ever used. It isn't cheap but it's about half the price of Clarins and they do mail order. The website is www.nealsyardremedies.com

I love liz earle stuff.

Also recently I have been using this
boot time delay range

and this, which recently got an amazing review in Elle.

olay complete radiance

(this is the fluid but I use the cream as I have really dry skin.)

I like Clarins too, but I also like No 7. You might get a bargain in the sales so you can try some bits or it's on three for two atm.

just forgot to back up ediemay with the Neals Yard frankincense moisturiser. Is also wonderful, no reason why I stopped using it, just fancied a change and got hooked into Liz earle...

nivea

liz earle is quite cheap in comparison to clarins I think.Have a look on qvc website for multipacks It also lasts ages

If you want to try the boots time delay stuff pick up one of (or several) yellow change one thing "your free look great starter pack" in store on the back page there is £5 off boots time delay products one voucher per transaction but I suppose you could go in several times as it is valid till 31/1/06

time delay

The Superdrug Natural High range is also good.

Thanks for all these suggestions, will peruse later, as just trying to sort out culinary nightmare scenario.

Have heard loads of good things about Liz Earle but assumed it was expensive too.

Never thought of trying on-line though.

Also have some Boots points I think.

I rate the nivea q 10 range
although my mum got an eve lom set for xmas and I@m seriously tempted as it is really superb stuff
Effing expensive though!

Liz Earle is brilliant.

The Liz Earle website is here. It's not ultra cheap, but it isn't too bad, and the moisturisers are lovely.

Don't suppose you have a Watt Brothers store near by they have Clarins and other top brands cheap.

The Skin Wisdom range from Tesco is good. They do a cleanser very like the Eve Lom one. And a lovely tinted moisuriser that I use over my usual one (which varies) - it gives skin a lovely sheen.

I remember reading that you should spend most on your moisturiser but can use cheaper cleansers etc.
