Pale (but not pink) BB cream

My favourite BB cream appears to have been discontinued (Boots 17) (along with several other brands of BB cream - have they gone out of favour or just been rebranded as another product?) Unfortunately, I know Garnier and several others I've tried in the past have been either too orange or too pink - I'm pale but with a slight yellow undertone - and I don't want tinted moisturiser as I don't think that will even out my skin enough. I'm open to slightly heavier coverage but it needs to be very moisturising as my skin has dry patches at this time of year. Budget up to a tenner. Any suggestions?

I know you said you tried Garnier but did you try the Extra Light?
It's the one I use and it's getting difficult to find.
I did note that Superdrug have their own version.

I think it was the extra light I tried (being peely wally I tend to go for the palest shade in every range) but it wasn't a good match for my Scottish skin. Thanks though.

Its not a BB cream but have you thought of MAC face & body foundation. It can be applied as light as you need but is totally buildable. I'm fair with freckles and have a neutral skin tone, I use N1. This shade absolutely doesn't lean pink at all.

May be worth checking out ‘your skin but better’ cc cream at boots. I’ve not bought it but heard great things- I’m very pale and ginger and I’ve seen it colour matched on bloggers who are paler than me!

Bourjois cc cream is pale and yellow toned.

Thanks @LadyVox @EraOfTheGrey but I think those are both well beyond budget. If I have some extra cash will bear them in mind though. @Cheesymonster that's good to know - Bourjois is definitely more my price bracket, will check it out.

Darn it I have just searched for the one I use and it looks like it's discontinued. Ack
