Can you help me replace my moisturiser? Oily / blemish prone, enlarged pores and on a budget

I use the No7 oily skin moisturiser with spf at the moment, but I'm still getting blemishes and it doesn't seem to be making much of an impact.

I'm on a budget at the moment so really doen't want to spend over £10 - £12

I'd like a SPF in it for helping prevent daily wear and tear damage on my skin as I don't tend to wear make up so my moisturiser is doing all the work!

My pores round my nose and chin are fairly visible, and my skin is combination / oily, but not too much

Any recommendations?

Neutrogena always has good reviews. And La Roche Rosay effaclar stuff is good, but more expensive though. I use Effaclar K which is about £13. That totally keeps my skin clear. No spf though, but brilliant stuff.

oh, sorry, just looked at olay and no spf, which is annoying.

I'm using the Olay Blemish Control facewash followed by the Total Effects Day moisturiser - spf 15. The combination seems to be working for me!

La Roche Posay Effaclar K is the only thing that keeps me spot free. A teeny bit over your budget but well worth it

Neautrogena do a good daily moisturiser that has SPF. My Dad is a dermatologist and recommends their facial skincare very highly, nothing else comes close at the price apparently.

In terms of the oiliness, what do you wash your face with?

JoyceDivision · 14/02/2013 20:49

oh, thanks for the messages, everyone!

i just use water and a nivea cleanser andjohnsons blemish free clean and clear cleansre and toner

i always assumed you needed an spf, but it seems not all of you do?
