Cleanser for mature skin - recommendations

8 replies

I'm late 50s and need to overhaul my skincare routine (if you can call it that!)

I had oily skin all my adult life but it's quite dry now and I don't know where to start. I've been recommended Aldi's night cream but would like suggestions for a good cleanser. I have been using micellar water but understand that's not good every day??

On a budget but could stretch for something good and long-lasting.

TIA

I've just turned 60 (gawd) and I love a balm cleanser. Wash it off with a hot flannel

I've got Clinique Take The Day Off balm, but Aldi do a very good one. Also Superdrug do a hot cloth cleanser.

Balm cleansers are great. M&S do a Rose cleansing balm in their Pure range which is easily as good as more expensive versions. I use it in the evening followed by a gel cleanser ( currently using another M&S pure gel cleanser) .
In the morning I just use water or the gel cleanser.

Thanks, I'll take a look at all of these.

Aldi do lovely vitamin c hot cloth cleanser which is gentle on skin. I'd also recommend Elemis cleansing balm

Ps all beauty have rose elemis balm on sale just not for 35 I think but you can normally get on qvc easy pay too and pay in installments

Kate Somerville Goat Milk cleanser. It’s beautiful. Cleans well but is really gentle and smells lovely - and I usually hate anything smelly.

I use the Marks Pure balm that is mentioned above followed by Cerave Hydrating Cleanser and both are lovely.
