help, i need a bloody good moisturiser

[LittleMinx]

can someone recommend a fab moisturiser please?

I love the evian one plus cleanser and toner but cant get it anymore

i have tried loads of samples of expensive ones including creme de la mer (very over rated imo) and cant find a good one yet. My skin is really dry so i need a fab one pleaseeeeeee.

Hi after many years of searching I now use these oils, the serum with cactus is just superb. My skin has never looked better!

Have you tried Liz Earle stuff? The moisturisers are lovely, and there's one for dry skin, or a new one just out for 'mature or very dry' skin (haven't tried the new one though).

Would second liz earle, clarins i find good too. If skin is dry, the no7 Night Cream is very good, are different ones for different ages

aqueous cream

What is it that you want from your moisturiser?

Sun protection?
Anti-ageing?
or simply just moisture?

best one for my v dry skin is good old nivea

Mine is v cheap Astral but Joanna Lumley uses it too. You could try it and chuck it if you didn't like it, it's so cheap!

lol i remember that advert

look, she says she used it for 25 years and then did the ad, no idea if it's true though

lol, i always seem to end up reverting to nivea

The Liz earle one wouldn't be 'strong' enough for you - she'd bringing out a super moisturising skin for slightly more mature skin - not sure when but this year definitely (heard it on QVC)

Clarins Eclat du jour...

thanks everyone.......... i got a lot to try there

Easywriter.........not bothered bout sun protection as i sit in shade Just want moisurising and wouldnt say no to the anti ageing too

Lauriefairycake.........i aint that mature yet

Thank you wickedwaterwitch and lou33...... i will give nivea and astral a whirl first as they are the cheapest

yeah, but meant with dry skin usually the more 'mature'/moisturising formulations are thicker

NOT saying that you're an old bird

i'm an old bird, the nivea is really thick and it pisses on anything else i have tried

Don't think anyone's mentioned Dr Hauschka Rose Cream. Best face cream out there IMO and I get very dry skin too. They've just brought out a 'light' version in case you find the normal one too greasy.

50ml pot of astral is 49p in superdrug at the moment. Bargin!

lauriefairycake.........well i am old compared to most of the people i work with

Emilydavidson......... i will be visiting superdrug when back at work on weds....thanks

Have a look for this range, Nourifusion, their new skin activator range is fab, last's ages and feels lovely.

You know i have dry skin and have tried all sort of expensive moisturisers and I always come back to...

Vaseline Intensive Care dermacare lotion!

(about £2.50)

second one down

I'd recommend Liz Earle too - she does a lovely face oil (superskin concentrate) which is really moisturising - this is what the new 'luxury' moisturiser has in it I think, so its dearer than the usual ones, but I have used her stuff for two years now, and I used to be a right beauty product tart, practically changing products every month when I got seduced by lovely packaging etc. However, not used anything else since trying LE - give it a go!

thanks everyone, i got a lot to try there....... i will report back when i try them
