Night cream for combination skin

10 replies

WeeM · 30/08/2017 22:18

I'm on the lookout for a night cream-my skin is oily and prone to breakouts but not sensitive. I've currently got a Nivea one but it's just too heavy. I wear doublewear foundation and find it's been going shiny during day since I've used the Nivea. I like body shop stuff so wonder if anything there worth a go? Ideally I'm looking for something sort of £15 and under but I do have some Boots points to use so would consider something dearer if it was some kind of holy grail!

I love the M&S Pure range - I'm currently using the Marine Active one, but have also had the normal Pure night cream and I love them both - very moisturising but totally non-greasy.

Oh I always forget they even do make up, I will have a look at that thanks.

Tbh, their beauty section is the only thing that I really bother with now - but, the whole Pure range really is excellent!

Have you tried the Bouncy Sleeping mask from The Body Shop? I have a very similar skin type to you and find it really effective Smile

If you have oily skin that can also breakout then you don't really need a night cream at all. It is best to let the skin breathe. We have been conditioned by the cosmetic companies to believe you need a cream for this a serum and scrub for that when it is not necessary. See if you skin inproves without a night cream.

I have looked at that body shop range I always been put off because it's excluded from all the offers...although that obviously means they sell loads of it without needing a discount so it must be doing something! Maybe I'll try and get a tester to try.
I feel like innerd some kind of moisturiser as when I cleanse my skin can feel a bit tight and was hoping that a night cream might help the wrinkles a bit...! Maybe it just is a bit too heavy for my skin though.

I avoid night creams and stick to serums or active products for my combination skin

I came on to also say the Drops of Youth Bouncy Sleeping mask from Body Shop. I really like it and have combination skin.
