Please recommend a basic moisturiser

[NotConnie]

I prefer no fragrance, no SPF (I use a separate one) and definitely no hylauronic acid (turns out my skin doesn't tolerate it).

I have combination skin with a t-zone that still shines even though I'm in my early 50s. So it's oily/normal combination, not dry.

It needs to absorb well so it doesn't make me look even greasier.

I voe steam cream, but it has lavendar in so does smell.

Bioderma - look online (got mine on eBay). It's a French pharmacy brand)

Really moisturising but light & absorbs easily

Aveeno - I get v bad eczema and this is great for me.

I use Liz Earle skin repair. very light and the little jar lasts ages.

Simple products are inexpensive and work well. I have a stock for when my clinique stuff runs out and I'm broke. TBH don't really notice the difference.

Trilogy Vital Moisturising cream

Avene (NOT the same as aveeno). I use a dry skin one but I'm sure the combo/oily one would be just as good. Again it's a french pharmacy brand, so no fragrance, non-cloggy and highly effective.

I use simple rich moisturiser it is lovely but I think it does have spf. They do other ones though so worth a look.

I have used Avene too and it is lovely but very expensive so haven't had any for a while.

another vote for Steam Cream. It is my fall-back cream, my old faithful, always have a tin on the go and another waiting. Can be used on face, hands and body.

Cetaphil is super gentle, about £8 for a huge bottle in boots, beside the e45 and dry skin remedies rather than the main skincare bit.

I've been using Inositol from Yves Rocher for the past few months and it's making my skin look great!

This stuff is amazing:

Inexpensive and from Aldi

They do a fab range, def worth a look.

eucerin

Body Shop Aloe Vera moisturiser for sensitive skin. Best moisturiser ever.

Trilogy rosehip oil. It sinks straight in, doesn't leave you oily. And it helps control your skin's oil production because it's balancing. Added bonus, it's slowly erasing my crow's feet.

I was in US recently and bought some Eucerin moisturiser.

I bloody love it.

I think you can get it here?

Trilogy rosehip oil gives me spots

Yes Eleanor it's certainly for sale in boots. I also love the stuff. Not glam but very effective.

Boots Botanics Sensitive skin - the night one.
perfect stuff.
and cheap.

Boots, madmomma?

Hallelujah!

Eucerin, for sure, brilliant stuff. Some have hylauronic acid though, so check.

Neutrogena, about 4 quid in Boots. I use the one in the orange tube. Unscented, good oil control and recommended by dermatologists.

another aldi lacura user :-)

Eucerin is my favorite moisturizer ever
