Best, cheap moisturiser for the older woman...

[Karbea]

Can anyone recommend something cheap, but good.

I'm 40, I'm used to using very expensive stuff, but I've got zero money at the moment, so I need something cheap, I'm talking supermarket brands...

Ok it's Nivea soft that I have in the cupboard. So I'll try that one out and see how I get on. Thank you for all your recommendations, would never have remembered about that tub if you'd not mentioned Nivea.

I have started using Astral after a thread on here a couplenof months ago about retro skin care.

My skin is the best it's ever been - its amazing stuff! The only thing is it is greasy so if using it for daytime you have to use it sparingly but as a night cream it's just the bollocks!

The blue Nivea is greasy and takes too long to sink in. The Nivea Soft is in a white tub and in a tube. It's great.

I've just started using rosehip oil and it was £4 for 100ml online. Supposed to work miracles.
Also Aldi lacura range is excellent for over 40 skin.

I second Olay 7 in 1.

Astral for me! it smells nice and fresh and you can slather it everywhere!! My mum often gives me the samples / gifts from the luxury brands but I still prefer my astral :)

I agree with Astral

I use the light astral as a day cream as it's not as greasy as the other one - it comes in a light blue tub.

Doesn't astral come in a run that's suspiciously similar to Nivea?

I thought they were the same product rebranded?

Agree Nivea is extremely greasy.

If Nivea doesn't work for you, try Astral. I don't use it any more myself because it irritates my skin but loads of people swear by it. Plus use a sunscreen.

Extra virgin olive oil. I find Astral & Nivea too greasy - greasier than oil weirdly. Oil is absorbed into your skin better.

Alsoo - this is very good for the price:

Skinfood

I like Garnier ultra lift. Lasts ages too.

another vote for the Lacura stuff with the blue lid - from Aldi and lovely. I use Nivea a lot as well, though not for day.

Nivea q10 factor 30 usually half price I.e £4.99 from super drug or wilkinsons

Nivea Blue should be used as a night moisturiser or in cold weather. The white tub is for day use I think.

Who is the older woman in the OP?
You're 40 FFS!
