I love Dr Hauschka Rose Day Cream. But it is £££. Can anyone recommend something like it for cheaps? Or am I just dreaming that such a thing exists?

Apologies if this has been asked a bazillion times Sad

I have dry skin, and the best cream for me is Nivea pure and natural face cream for sensitive skin. Not too heavy but is rich.

NIvea Soft- is great, cheap and can use it all over.

Fab for taking away on holiday.

I love Dr H too but can't afford to use it all the time. So I use:

Jason Vitamin E cream £7.82 on Amazon

And Weleda Skin food (which you can get for a good price on eBay).

Nivea and Astral do the job but they've got parabens in.

The aldi caviar cream is 6.99 and has noticeably improved my skin more than anything similarly priced.

I like nivea soft best.

I would love to try the Aldi one, but I think my local sold out pretty much immediately. I will have to wait and pounce next time it is in. In the meantime, I'll be sharpening my elbows.

I have their night cream and it is lovely. But not quite rich enough for me (yes, I have VERY dry skin!)

I've never heard of Jason E! Is it like the Hauschka one?

I find Nivea blue pot overly rich but Nivea soft is lush

Aveeno daily moisturising is great!

I wouldn't say it's like it exactly, but it's good rich and thick, it's excellent for dry skin and it's the best I've found bar Dr H and Neal's Yard Frankincense nourishing cream.

I have extremely dry skin and Aveeno Ultra Calming Daily Recovery Cream is working really well for me.

Second the Dr Organics but use the Royal Jelly version.

When I earned good money I spent a fortune on Chanel, Clinique, Demalogica etc.

Dr Organics beats all of them, even on my extremely sensitive skin. Even better it costs £6 - £8 (often on buy one get one 1/2 price) a jar.

Yes yes to Aldi night cream. It's now a stock item rather than an occasional special so I have finally got my hands on some. Haven't used over an extended period, but in the short term it's performing at least as well as my usual Elemis.

Dr Organic is not very thick though. It doesn't do the same job as Dr H and Jason.

The aldi caviar is now a regular stock item :)

I think I am the only person who doesn't like the aldi cavier creams! I got both and they feel yucky on my skin.
I have really sensitive dry skin and they feel really drying. Gone back to Astral original for day and nivea origional for night.
