help! I need to replace my skin care products with cheaper alternatives. I currently use no7 P&P day cream, eye cream and advanced serum. I was thinking of trying Avon Anew? I'm 35 but crows feet are starting and need putting into check! Has anyone tried the Avon stuff as it's always on offer?

Any other suggestions welcomed of good but cheaper products. I'd rather spend a little more if there is something that is really worth it than have rubbish. I just can't afford to try lots of stuff so asking for suggestions please.

I've got combination skin that needs a daily moisturiser else it dries, but can't be too rich else it breaks out. Hmm

Any help welcomed!

Nivea Q10 moisturiser is really nice, about £8.50 but regularly £5 in the supermarket. I love the feel of Aldi serum but mix it with The Ordinary hyaluronic acid (not expensive but need to order online) as Aldi serum doesn't have much in the way of useful active ingredients.

I know it's ancient stuff and been around since the beginning of time but Ponds cold cream is amazing stuff.

I use the original Nivea, that comes in the dark blue tub. It's two quid in Wilkos and lasts a very long time. The skin on my face feels lovely and it heals faster too. It's better than the Clinique one I was using that costs £24!

I also swapped using Sanctuary hot cloth cleanser for the N-SPA one from Asda. About half the cost.
