At the moment its M&S Royal Jelly & Honey there is a night cream and a light SPF face cream. I use Aldi Lacura Serum. I am 32 and fairly good skin, oily T Zone and monthly jawline spots on occasion so I tend not to put too much product on this area. I don't tend to use eye cream.

Ester Lauder daywear. I'vector sensitive stroppy skin (not a technical term!) which occasionally breaks out in response to things it doesn't like.

PurpleDaisies · 26/01/2016 10:10

I'vector?! I've got sensitive skin is what that should say.

Nabootique · 26/01/2016 10:13

I'm not loyal. I'm a face cream ho and have 15 - 20. If I had to pick only one though I would say Clinique Moisture Surge, which I'd never thought about before but it's good to know for future reference!

Nabootique · 26/01/2016 10:14

Oh, normal to combination (t-zone can get oily sometimes), prone to dehydration (smoker and I eat too much salt).

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 26/01/2016 10:15

Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream. It's so light, I love it.

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 26/01/2016 10:15

Normal, prone to dry skin.

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 26/01/2016 10:17

Body Shop Vitamin E Cream. I have used it on and off (mostly on) for decades (the Intense version now I'm ancient), it's as good if not better than any expensive brand I've tried. I'm 46 with dry skin but most people seem to think I'm a good decade younger.

patterkiller · 26/01/2016 10:18

Korrs rose. Its lovely for sensitive dry skin and It's the only one that doesn't sit on my skin.

turkeyboots · 26/01/2016 10:18

I stick to Olay but various things from the range. Seem to react to anything else. Have dry very sensitive skin.

L'Oreal Age Perfect Day and Night cream. Estée Lauder syrum.

MiniCooperLover · 26/01/2016 10:28

Serum even ...

Hellojoe · 26/01/2016 10:45

Love Clinique moisture surge, perfect for my dry combination skin

handslikecowstits · 26/01/2016 10:50

Clean and Clear Oil Free Moisturiser www.boots.com/en/Clean-Clear-Dual-Action-Oil-Free-Moisturiser-100ml_914/
Amazing stuff. Can't use anything scented. Doesn't make me oily or bring me out in a rash.

And

La Roche Posay Redermic at night www.laroche-posay.co.uk/product-treatments/Redermic/Redermic-R-Anti-wrinkle-treatment-p8108.aspx

38 years old with normal to combination skin really.

ouryve · 26/01/2016 10:53

I have very sensitive skin, prone to both flakiness and zits and reactive to far too many things for comfort, but otherwise looking pretty good for my 46 years. I stick with the plain yellow clinique moisturiser. Only needs a tiny bit, so it lasts for ages.

Annarose2014 · 26/01/2016 10:53

I'm a ho as well, but if you put a gun to my head Olay Complete spf30. It's the one I've repurchased most often. It's a good price and it's not greasy.

I'll throw anything on my face as long as it's got an spf.

mowglik · 26/01/2016 10:53

I use three but my favourite is Elemis pro-collagen marine cream. I also use a ceramide gel for days when my skin is feeling sensitive and a honey based cream when my skin is feeling dry

Annarose2014 · 26/01/2016 10:53

Should add my skin is normal and non reactive.

cressetmama · 26/01/2016 11:15

Bioderma Hydrabio range: always the serum, sometimes followed by the moisturiser which comes in light and heavier weights (winter/summer). I'm 59, normal skin which can occasionally surprise with a tantrum. Mid-price, similar to LRP I guess. Hyaluronic is in pretty much everything in the range and it really works for me but I have to get it online. No UK retail presence.

MercyPlease · 26/01/2016 11:17

Not religiously loyal, but there ar a few products i have been using for a while and no plans to change.

Trilogy rose hip oil
Aldi Lacura serum
Nivea light moisturising day cream SPF 15 (for dark winter months when I need less SPF)
Biore factor 50 facial sunscreen - the best EVER, not greasy/chalky. I wear it from about March-November every day.

I've tried many expensive face creams that I quite liked, but none enough to fork our 30/40/50 quid+ for on a regular basis, tbh.

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 26/01/2016 11:23

Pro-Collagen Marine Cream is lovely but my skin was no better using it than Vit E cream!

In the past I've never been that loyal but I've been using Aldi hyaluronic gel every evening and in the morning my skin feels lovely and soft. It was a special so they only do it every 6 months or so but I reckon the bottle will last at least a year. In winter I'm using it in the morning as well but come summer I'll probably switch to my Nivea because of the sunscreen.

My skin is normal and non-reactive. FINALLY seeing the benefits of having greasy skin as a teenager - normal relatively wrinkle-free skin in middle-age!

Honesttodog · 26/01/2016 11:42

Liz Earle combination moisturiser. I have combination skin. A lot of moisturisers leave my skin feeling greasy later in the day, never get that with the LE.

I also like the clarins hydra quench. If feeling dry.
