nice skincare that doesn't cost the earth

[whatamess100]

just that really, recommend me brands that are good but don't cost a fortune. if i had the money I'd love REN or Elemis but no such luck lol

my skin is all over the place ATM ( pregnancy hormones) dry forehead fine everywhere else with the occasional spot.

I've literally got nothing left ATM so i need
: eye cream
day moisturiser
night moisturiser
got some habo lab hyaluronic acid left.

Cerave

La Roche Posay. And you really do not need a separate eye cream. You do need an SPF over the moisturiser

I should add I'm 38 and got lines esp under eyes.

I've seen cerave but never thought to try it

Aldi Lacura

I've recently tried the Body Shop Edelweiss products and they were very good.
Boots No7 is mid-price and highly regarded.
The Ordinary gets a lot of praise on here.

Avene. Lovely and gentle and something for all skin types.

Cerave. If you're buying a few things, Books frequently do 3for2 on cerave.

The inkey list stuff is affordable and really good quality. I use their dewy sunblock, the peptide moisturiser and loads of other bits - I pick them up when I get offers through. If you sign up to texts and emails you quite frequently get codes sent through.

Inkey list and the ordinary are both very reasonable. Q and a are nice too and more similar to ren or Elemis. They have a limited range in Sainsbury’s that's sometimes on offer.
I would add in a facial oil if I were you. Though the only inkey list product I don't like is their rose hip oil, it always smells off.
Superdrug also do their own range of separate actives and boots ingredients too, though is more limited. The boots bakuchiol serum is amazing, but not sure is ok in pregnancy.

I love Curel

I used Dermalogica for 25 years. Now use Cerave. Absolutely no difference in my skin...I'm mid 60s

Facetheory! So good, vegan and reasonable. My skin is 100% better from using it.

Versed. Byoma.

M&S Pure. I've tried several other cruelty free brands but this is the one I keep going back to, especially for the day and night creams.

Upcircle is worth a look, especially the undereye cream and face serum.

Aldi also has a range of really good quality skincare under their Lacura brand.

Nourish London is a very good brand and affordable.

Lacura from Aldi. So so good.

La Roche Posay have a massive range, all really good quality and very reasonably priced (Boots generally have them on 3 for 2 as well).

Also second the recommendation for M&S Pure.

Lidl or Aldi! I have day cream, night cream etc from both. Never had such lovely skin

Oooh which range is aldi is best?

@whatamess100

you must try the Caviar cream from Aldi. (I use the day one and the night one) I believe they're £7.99 each. They are AMAZING! Trust me on this one!

Cerave is great, and Superdrug do their own version in v similar packaging, I can't tell the difference between the two products.
I really like Aldi's range (will find link, not the Caviar one above)
The Ordinary is also a great place to find reasonably priced skincare.

It's Lacura Rejuvenate (lol at made up words) - the day and night cream are excellent

A good spf, plenty of water. I love Liz Earle cleanse and polish, you only need a small amount. Aldi do a nice vit c eye cream.
I’ve used a ton of pricey stuff over the years, my skin got better when I stopped using so much.

Revolution Pro

I second M and S Pure. Very good value.
I particularly love the cleansing balm which has a lovely texture and rose scent. Only £12.
