Elemis or ESPA?

[cherryscone]

Hi 😊 I'm wandering which is a better brand for my skin type?

I have quite combination skin (dry and dehydrated, sensitive/prone to redness and oily on the t zone)

I have been trying Elemis and can say I'm happy with it but the Marine Cream seems to "sit" on my oily t zone and makes me feel quite greasy.

Can anyone give me any tips for ESPA skincare or any starter products so I can try the products before purchasing properly?

Hydration is a must without the sticky and "tacky" feeling that you can get with some moisturiser targeted for dry skin.

TIA!

There are lots of fantastic skin products on the market. Is there a reason why you’re only looking at Elemis and ESPA? I love the ESPA Overnight Hydration Therapy (for my dry skin so not a recommendation to you) but don’t get all of the products from the same brand.

There are some really knowledgeable people on here who I’m sure will give you great advice.

At the other end of the market, my DH has oily skin but uses the Lacura Q10 products from Aldi and they hydrate his skin (making it look really healthy) without making him look greasy.

I love Elemis but can only do marine cream at night. It’s cheap but I absolutely love neutrogena water gel for the daytime, soaks in quickly and feels refreshing.

i haven’t tried espa as yet
