I've just waded back through previous threads on recommended face creams, but I can't find anything that matches my (demanding) requirements. Here they are:
spf at least 15, preferably higher
suitable for ageing, saggy skin (I'm 51 yo)
ok for sensitive skin
dry/combination

Currently using Estee Lauder Daywear and it's OK. Is there anything better before I replace it.

Suggestions gratefully received!

I am using the Boots Protect & Perfect Day Cream, which is lovely and really helps dry skin at this time of year. I use the Intense P&P Serum underneath.

I think it's SPF 15. I'm 44. Xmas Grin

Yes I use that serum already; perhaps I should try the day cream too

If you find any miracle creams for under-eye wrinkles, please let me know. Xmas Sad

I use the oile of olay in the red pot - can't tell you the name without walking upstairs to look.

Pretty sure it meets all your requirements. I like it a lot (in fact traded in my lancome cream which was almost twice the price for this)

I did try that (I think) 7 signs of ageing? I didn't like the scent. Did I mention that I'm incredibly fussy? Xmas Blush

Just went and checked it is olay 3 point regenerist (I don't like the 7 signs either - rubbish fluidy formulation).

Otherwise I recommend lancome primordiale.

"Primordiale" makes me think of swamp. Xmas Confused Is it made from mud and slime and stuff?

sparklyjewlz · 14/12/2010 10:52

Lancome primordiale = £52 [gulp]. Maybe it can be a christmas pressie [to myself Xmas Wink ]

Just been scanning the net. Has anyone any views (pro or con) on the following:
Liz Earle Superskin
Clarins extra-firming
Origins Youthtopia
Kiehls Abbyssine
Lancome renergie?

Many thanks for any advice (and to you Nancy Drew!)

I have heard good things about the Kiehls Abyssine Lotion, and it's SPF 15. I don't like the pump bottle though, but you can always scrape or shake the last little bit out, and try to keep the nozzle clear as you go along.
