Eye cream and moisturiser recommendations please

I’ve lost around three stones in weight, and although I’m taking collagen the skin on my face is well, droopy.

Think I need a firming eye cream and moisturiser. Grateful for recommendations please. Mid price point if possible!

Congratulations on the weight loss

You probably want a serum underneath your cream as well. Why don’t you look at a beauty box subscription and try a few and see what you like? I’ve had a roccabox.co.uk subscription for a year which I then cancelled. That gave me so many creams and serums I’m still using them up, with roccabox I can now buy a box when I feel like it I don’t have to commit to a full subscription or you could get a few monthly boxes from one of the others. If you google beauty box subscription review you’ll get some suggestions

Have a look at The Ordinary, their prices are really reasonable for what you get, their products are great and well-reviewed.

You may use the cerave moisturiser. I will share my routine if that helps:
Morning:
Using water to wash your face,
Sebamed clear face gel,
Garnier spf
Evening:
Cerave moisturizer,
Tretinoin (0.1) from skinorac
Sebamed clear facial gel

Sorry forgot to say, I use skin sense serum morning and Elemis pro marine serum at night.

It’s a good idea re the subscription boxes though, thank you!

It is not typically greasy when applied correctly

Darn, that got me looking up Elemis products and this sounds gorgeous:

Ooh it does! I have this in the original, use it as a second cleanse. It’s so nice!

Amazon have the balms on prime day deals for £35. Not in the black cherry though.

i use a tret prescription service. The dermatologist recommends Cerave moisturising cream. I use this on my face, eyes and neck. Apparently you don't need different creams for different areas.
Like a pp said , I have a simple routine.
Wash face with the inkey list salicylic cleanser in the morning and moisture, then SPf 50.
Evening wash face , tret, moisturise. That’s it.
