Alternative to Olay total effects anti blemish?

5 replies

I have just used the last drops of my beloved Olay total effects anti blemish moisturiser. It is now discontinued and I need to find an alternative. I’m late 30s and, aside from it having no SPF, it was perfect.

I have dry skin but still get blemishes so the teenage skin care ranges do nothing to help with fine lines and wrinkles.

Can anyone suggest a moisturiser that is both anti ageing and anti blemish which does not cost the earth please?

I use L.A. Roche Posay Effaclar Duo - very light coverage but with the added benefit of the spot cream (which I use at night now)

This one - you can usually get 30% off somewhere online (Boots are usually 3/2, or LRP themselves often do offers)

Thank you, I will have a look for that one!

I switch between LRP Effaclar Duo+ SPF30 (non tinted) when I’m a bit oily & spotty and LRP Hydraphase UV intense light SPF20 when I’m drier.

The Effaclar range has expanded a lot in recent years. There’s a tinted one, one with SPF (the one I use), the original one, and probably a couple of others too.

Boots had 3 for 2 on them at the weekend, I suspect it’s still on. Escentual.com often has v good prices on it too.
