I ran out of my moisturiser over Christmas and couldn’t get a delivery until today. So, for the last week or so, I’ve been using my expensive serum with generic E45 on top. My skin was... fine! Good, actually! Easy to put makeup on, felt really moisturised.
My £25 cream arrived this morning and I used that instead of E45 and it doesn’t feel quite as smooth and nice. I’m now thinking that expensive face creams are sort of a con?!
I do see a genuine difference with my copper peptides serum when I don’t have it (it’s £40) but thinking maybe that plus e45 and sun block on sunny days might be a better way than pricey face cream?!
What do you all think? Is e45 giving a 40-year-old’s face “enough”?
