Only 2. Liz Earle moisturiser for day and Khiels for night time. The Khiels one is lovely but way too heavy for day and would end up looking oily.

KatharinaRosalie · 26/01/2016 12:07

Dr Hauschka - I use several depending on the weather and skin condition and often mix a little of their calming treatment in as well. Honestly, I've tried it all - used Dior, Lancome etc before, but Hauschka works best for me. I actually get compliments for my skin now.

Indecisivejo · 26/01/2016 12:25

Loving all these replies thank u :)

I don't use any, I hate the way it makes my skin feel clogged, every one I've tried.

Soap and water.
I'm 34, and I've got great skin. Healthy, no spots (maybe one every now and then, but hardly ever)

ThenLaterWhenItGotDark · 26/01/2016 14:25

The only repeat purchases for me have been:

Astral
Blue pot Nivea
Neal's yard Frankincense
Body Shop Vit E.

Oh, and Elemis Pro-Collagen (but only for the smell, it's a very watery lotion that did nothing for my parched skin, smells divine though!)

Donge13 · 26/01/2016 14:29

Lancôme Genifique day, night and serum.
I love this trio

flippineck · 26/01/2016 14:36

Lancome HydraZen. I have fairly normal-slightly dry skin that can actually tolerate quite a lot of stuff, but there's just something about the HydraZen that I love. I stopped using it for a while because it didn't have an SPF in it, but a few years ago they started doing it with the SPF. DH bought me the night cream for Christmas and that's lovely too.

OttiliaVonBCup · 26/01/2016 14:40

Another Elemis pro collagen user, currently the Rich version, because of the cold weather.

fieldfare · 26/01/2016 15:02

I'm a Clarins fan. I use the anti ageing eye serum, face serum and hydraquench day cream.
I've got pretty good skin, get hormonal jawline spots occasionally but am quite sensitive.

midnightmoomoo · 26/01/2016 16:38

Normal but sensitive/reactive skin, prone to hormonal chin spots here. My go-to creams are both Liz Earle.....the light one for day and Superskin with neroli for night. I'm so often tempted by others but when they inevitably wreck my skin, Liz Earle is what I go back to.

Kizzyjudy2014 · 26/01/2016 16:42

I'm faithful to Aveeno cream for dry sensitive skin. It's amazing and I've had lots of comments saying I look 10 years younger.Flattering as I'm 51!

polyhymnia · 26/01/2016 16:44

Clarins Super Restorative or Sarah Chapman.

Obs2016 · 26/01/2016 17:15

None. I can't find one I like.

Naicecuppatea · 26/01/2016 17:17

Aveeno cream here too and have been using it for 25 years. I use a few others but always have this on stand by. My skin is very dry and sensitive.

niminypiminy · 26/01/2016 17:23

Atrixo.

I know it's hand cream, but it's relatively I scented, absorbs well, can be used on face and body, comes in nice big pots and is cheap.

I've got normal but ageing skin, and tbh I've never noticed that anything more expensive makes any difference.

good health, good diet, not smoking, not drinking much alcohol, getting enough sleep, staying out of the sun - those are the things that really make q difference. But nothing actually holds back time.

Silverpinkswirls · 26/01/2016 17:27

None because I can't find the perfect one either. However if I had to choose it would be Clinique moisture surge or Kiehls

winterinmadeira · 26/01/2016 17:31

Clarins vital light day cream or gentle day cream. I love either. I have dry skin.

PrizeyPrize · 26/01/2016 17:56

Palmers Cocoa butter formula. Smothered on at night. The smell is a love or hate thing though.

Heatherbell1978 · 26/01/2016 18:03

I've tried many over the years ranging from Lidls £2 cream to Clinique stuff at £40. I'm 38 with normal to oily skin. I honestly think the cheaper brands have made my skin look the best! Right now I'm using Nivea Q10 night and day cream with the serum. My skin looks fab despite many sleepless nights with toddler and a pretty crap diet at the momentConfused

Dachshund · 26/01/2016 20:10

Day cream/base for make up - Embryolisse is the only one!

madmomma · 26/01/2016 20:10

Nivea Q10 night cream. I've used it for 13 years and it's done a jolly good job. I tend to wear it over a posh serum/oil overnight. Gotta have plenty of spf by day and I like the no 7 one.

madmomma · 26/01/2016 20:11

Oh and I'm dry/combination

Ninjawarrior1 · 26/01/2016 20:46

Neal's Yard Frankincense Intense.Was never really loyal to one particular one before but have used nothing else for 2 years - I love it. Skin type is normal with the odd spot. I can also be sensitive to skin products but have never had a problem with any NY products.

Oh, and I also use the NY frankincense facial oil some nights before applying moisturiser. Makes my skin feel really spoilt.

hownottofuckup · 26/01/2016 20:52

Nivea Q10 for me

FlipFlopFlorence · 26/01/2016 20:52

Clarins Hydraquench. It's lovely. I have dry skin.
