Luxurious face cream for under £30

[Albgo]

It's a present for an older woman (late sixties). Budget of around £25 but could go to £30. She has normal skin and no issues.
Want to get something a little bit special looking and feeling.
Recommendations gratefully received. Thank you.

The M&S Formula night cream is lovely, well-reviewed and in budget. It is currently packaged in a beautiful starry jar to celebrate its anniversary. I find it smells ok too, not too heavily scented.

Also at M&S there is a limited edition Prai neck cream in a crystal decorated pot. It's very pretty. Look Fantastic have some other varieties.

Why don’t you get her the M&S beauty advent calendar. It’s £40 when you spend £30 in store. It’s got some nice creams in it. If you don’t want to give her it all it does have some full size products as well as smaller sizes so you could give her some abs keep some for yourself x

Another nice set is this from Boots No7, it's a lovely cream and comes with some ceramide capsules.

@domesticslattern thank you this is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. Much appreciated.

@Mulberrygirl3 lovely suggestion, but way over my budget sadly. In years when I've had more money I've bought the m&s advent for my sister, and agree it is a great present.

I second the M&S night cream.

Over your budget ( not much help ) but M&S do some nice gift sets and these are the famous sleep cream as a 2 item set .
They might do some more nearer to Christmas ?

I have tried the Prai , it worked ok then I found it rolled off my skin. Maybe I used too much and my skin didn't need it ?

Or you could look at some of the French pharmacy brands eg Vichy, Avene or La Roche Posay. They're all the same but good quality.

Eve Lom - currently available at great discount at TK Maxx online.

Liz Earle skin repair feels and smells lovely and is around £25 for a pot.

Vichy is good
