Beauty World is mad

[CareHope]

Went to the shops on the hunt for a face moisturiser. (Waning hope that I find a suitable one before I die) I haven't got a big budget so went to a supermarket. The beauty aisle was overwhelming and intimidating (as always). Couldn't work out which ones were moisturisers Vs night creams Vs miracle cures Vs a pot of over whipped cooking oil.
Prices were ridiculous and needed a magnifying glass to read any boxes.
Please, how do you choose? I don't even know what the cheaper "go to" options are anymore.

They tend to be sorted by brand so if price is a factor, can you tell us your budget? I'd recommend superdrug or boots if your budget is tight as they will have own label, whereas big supermarkets don't.

I always got on well.with Supersrug E range, then optimum. Ingredients are done in order of concentration amd I often found superdrug Optimum ingredients were similar to LOreal etc which were much pricier.

In shops they are sorted by brand and each range tends to be labelled as having SPF or Night, which is how you know that part. Then you just pick based on concern (sensitive, wrinkles). Superdrug oftem have explainer sheets in store. You could go online and try some filters

Thank you for the link. That's excellent. I've looked at so many websites and been to so many shops and who knew that Superdrug was the easiest to navigate, filter and return reasonable priced moisturisers. Budget was up to £15 max so I'm going to start low and go with the offers until I find one that suits.
Thanks again.
