Moisturiser help.... Tight dry skin. Nuxe changed formula

AllabouttheE · 09/06/2014 07:08

I'm gutted ! I've used Nuxe ultra comfortable face cream for about 5 years. They've just changed the formula and now it's shit. It doesn't sink into my skin but sits on top all greasy.

I used to use neutragena night cream, blue tube but they discontinued that.

So now what ?
Recommendations for tight dry skin which has to instantly give the aaaah factor and sink deep into my skin.

No more than £25-30 if poss.
I've tried Eve Lom and that didn't sink into my skin. Nothing high street has ever worked for me either.

For night I use Nuxe oil followed by Nivea blue pot. Or just Nivea blue pot on its own. Super thick and although your skin looks like butter at first, it sinks in and is super nourishing, and doesn't give me spots.

Eucerin

Have you tried Kiehls face cream (not lotion)?

I would recommend rose hip oil.

Having been a beauty therapist for many many years I have tried so many different products but I can't rate this one highly enough.

A tiny drop goes a long way so it's very cost effective, you can also add it to other products.

I would also recommend a daily or at least three times weekly exfoliator to rid any dead skin that could be effecting the penetration of products

this one

Origins Make a Difference Plus gives me that feeling.

I don't find it greasy at all, I wake up with really smooth, plumped up skin.

I have the same skin and I use Aveeno cream (you can get it from Boots, the Aveeno lotion also works well). It definitely sinks in and gets rid of the tight feeling and is the only cream to moisturise my face the whole day. I have used it for years and have also tried endless others, this is the best for me!

OP here
I had to update
I was still despairing, hadn't found anything. I was recommended Jurlique but I found this greasy and it sat on top of my skin.

I was in my local beauty parlour and she gave me a sample of Eve Taylor.
I have found utopia. Eve Taylor Soothing moisturiser. It does everything I want for £15!!!!

Thanks all

Drives me mad when they do this. I had been using a RP moisturizer for years and they changed the formula so that my eyes burned like hot coals. I then discovered Eucerin's urea cream which was perfect, but they have now discontinued it. I feel your pain!
