L’Occitane Immortelle Cream - alternatives?

[PastTheGin]

I am nearing 50 and my face looks it! I was given a sample of the Immortelle cream and my skin absolutely loved it - my purse not so much at £80!
I am contemplating to splash out on the cream, unless you could suggest some cheaper alternatives?
My skin is dry and blotchy and I have dark circles under my eyes. I need a miracle cream!

i like Liz Earle Superskin for my dry skin. I’ve recently started the night cream but not that happy with it, I think I’ll stick to the moisturiser

I would definitely hold off before you buy it and try some other things, if you haven’t yet; I get the impression that L’Occitane skincare is a little bit ‘branding over substance’. It’s likely your skin really appreciated the attention, so I can believe you saw a difference, but there are a lot of other good options out there and some will be less expensive.

For context, I’m someone who does spend a lot more than I can actually afford on skincare, so I’m not just being automatically sniffy about things being overpriced!

Mardy's Garden do a whole line of products - serums, creams, oils, soaps, based around the immortelle plant. You can buy on Amazon or off their website (they ship to the UK).

I use this every night and love it: https://immortelle.bio/products/immortelle-oil

Oh, thank you @MattDamon - this looks good and the prices are a lot more palatable!

Here's the thing. I've learned over the years that if you love a particular thing and you can afford it without the family knocking on the poorhouse door, then just buy the bloody stuff.

Everyone's skin reacts differently to things and you'll likely try £80 worth of other creams just to find that none of them work as well as the L'Occitane one.

Try Qvc - they have really good deals onnL'Occitane. That's where I buy from, otherwise they do have outlets if you are near to one?
