Looking for a cheap but amazing face cream (if it exists)

Currently use the cliniccare X3M EGF serum which is good but trying to make substantial price cuts to my skincare routine. I have dry/oily prone to breakout skin.

Anyone use something that’s cheap but wonderful?

I always had oily skin. You could try washing with Tesco's Flo&Fred' Top to Toe Babywash, cheap-less than a Euro for a big 500ml bottle and can be used on hair and body too, really gentle and doesn't provoke oil production and doesn't sting your eyes. Follow with rosewater to tone, then a Niacinamide and Zinc Serum to shrink pores and reduce oiliness, the Ordinary and Superdrug do good, cheap ones. I would also recommend a hyloronic acid serum, as it will cure dryness AND draw any moisturiser into the skin to stop it "sitting" in a greasy film. I use Aldi's Lé Mara Irish Seaweed (4.99Euros) one but I think it's only available in Ireland. Superdrug do one anyway. Then you can use any bargain face cream and it should work nicely. Aldi and Lidl do some very popular ones, which one you'd pick would depend on your age group. Aldi's Q10 creams are very highly thought of and under 3 Euros in Ireland, a bit less in Britain I would think, so you could start with that and see how you go! If it didn't suit, you've not spent much and could use it on your hands or chest, not waste it!
Aldi get great reviews for their skincare over and over again. They do special buys that are dupes of high end items every now and then too and loads of people rave about them. Good luck OP and well done for looking at saving money!
