Moisturiser on a budget

[Hairyfairy01]

Currently my skin is a mess. Prone to the odd hormonal breakout, dry in places and generally blotchy. My skin care routine currently consists of slapping some very cheap tinted moisturiser on in the morning, and that’s literally it. I’m going to make more of an effort to drink water but can anyone recommend a half decent moisturiser that doesn’t cost the earth?

Nivea Soft by day and Nivea Blue Tin by night .

Aldi.

Do you remove your make up at night?.

Astral. It's been my skincare staple for years and I still get ID'd on occasion at the age of 40.

Aldi Caviar is £6.99 and I prefer it to many high end ones.

Microfibres cloths for face cleaning.

The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors, £6.75 for 100ml.

I use either nivea creme, astral or e45 moisturiser depending what’s on offer

Cerave cleanser and moisturiser together are a great combination. I would absolutely trust them to make a difference

Another vote for Cerave. I use their cleanser and moisturiser, the ones with niacinamide, been using for over a year now and my skin has rarely been better.

The garnier lavender one, my skin was dry from acne treatment- really sorted the dryness.

Really don't like CeraVe cleanser in fact it makes my skin drier but I'm impressed with the moisturiser.

Try products from Aveeno which is sometimes 1/3rd off at supermarkets or Boots etc.

Thanks all. I ended up going for nivea (As it was half price in Tesco). Using it every morning and nighttime and have already noticed a difference.

Hot cloth cleanser (I use superdrug) and cerave moisturiser.

Another vote for The Ordinary. It has transformed my skin.

Sounds like I have the same skin issues as you OP. I just bought the boots q10 anti ageing serum and am getting on with it really well. I also got the eye cream from the same range. They were £4 each and on 3 for 2

I'd seriously consider a moisturiser with SPF in it.
