Dryness on face

5 replies

I am experiencing dry and flakiness on my face.

What's a good inexpensive face cream or moisturiser for the face to eliminate this. I am nearly 40 and I suppose I am peri menopause now.

Eucerin 5% Urea face cream is brilliant and doesn't feel greasy. For me it solves all flakiness and dryness and is around the £10 mark.

The Eucerin range was 25% when I was in Boots the other day so may still be.

The Ordinary - order from Boots online. I was sceptical and thought it was complicated, but it's not really and I wish I'd used it sooner. The natural moisturising factors and buffet serum are really effective.

Might be a good idea to boost your oestrogen. I take wild yam capsules. They help a lot with the face dryness. Antipodes manuka honey mask is my go to booster.

Aveeno very nourishing and reasonably priced too.

I like cerave in the tub (sometimes with a very tiny bit if vaseline on top overnight if very dry) or the Ordinary squalene.
