body moisturiser - same
hand cream - kheil’s will buy again
foot cream - none

cramptramp · 21/03/2026 08:16

Don’t know how old you are OP but I can vouch that Prai neck cream has an excellent temporary effect on my wrinkly old neck.

Girlintheframe · 21/03/2026 08:18

Serums I will repurchase - nip and fab Vitamin C, medik8 peptides and Byoma skin barrier repair

moisturiser - Byoma (am loving their products!)

body moisturiser- body shop body butter, diprobase and cetraban (last 2 cheap but very effective)

conditioner - Mood keratin mask

Bonsaibaby · 21/03/2026 08:22

M&S conditioner in the turquoise bottle has been really good
for feet flexitol is amazing
i like hemp hand cream from body shop

Tinseltrauma · 21/03/2026 08:31

Another vote for the M and S conditioner, also the shampoo. The ones in the non-see through bottles.smell and feel much more expensive than they are!

DisplayPurposesOnly · 21/03/2026 08:32

These are all regular purchaes, i dont change much!

shampoo - Aveda shampure
conditioner - Aveda damage remedy
serum - Inky hyaluronic (tried The Ordinary, preferred this)
moisturiser - Nivea day cream for dry skin
body moisturiser - Neutrogena deep moisture
hand cream - Aveeno blue one or Superdrug intensive moisture £2.50 one
foot cream - Aveda foot relief (actually just use body moisturiser these days but Aveda one is excellent)

MakeMineAMilkyTea · 21/03/2026 08:35

Oribe shampoo and conditioner - alway a repurchase, my hair is transformed since I started using this brand. Serum I like medik8 hydra8 b5 intense and advanced liquid peptides.
moisturiser I’m an Elemis pro collagen marine girl through and through
body moisturiser - not fussy, I always go back to clarins deep comfort though
hand cream - l’occitaine although I am partial to space nk own brand.
foot cream got to be ameliorate

Placestogo · 21/03/2026 08:41

I will agree with Nivea! I buy so many expensive beauty products thinking they will work well, but actually nivea is the best moisturiser (body and face)
i do like John Frieda anti-frizz shampoo/conditioner
for leave-in conditioner: kerastase night lovely smell, lovely hair
i do not like serum, makes me think of sperm… 😫
hand cream: someone gifted me one which is amazing for my (dry) hands. The brand is “awe” and i have the moroccan rose one, smell is nice. Also “verde” lemon hand cream - i LOVE the lemony smell, makes me feel like i am in a summer garden somewhere chic in italy, great texture and good moisturiser

Taniot · 21/03/2026 08:47

I’m 53 with oily/combination skin and currently dealing with perimenopausal straight, fine hair that sticks out in all directions (it didn’t used to) so I’ve added hair serum to the list

shampoo - Milk_Shake Color Maintainer Shampoo, will buy again

conditioner - Milk_Shake No Frizz Allowed Perfecting Conditioner, will buy again

hair serum - Milk_Shake Incredible Milk, love this, will buy again

serum - Beauty of Joseon Glow Replenishing Rice Milk, not buying again as it doesn’t feel like it’s doing anything for me, but will finish the bottle and then use Ole Hendriksen Truth Serum (vitamin C serum) next

moisturiser - Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base, using this for years, will buy again

body moisturiser - Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, will buy again

hand cream - Laura Mercier Soufflé Hand Cream (Ambre Vanille or Almond Coconut), will buy again

foot cream - Oukeya Urea 40% Foot Cream - first time using, not sure yet

GloiredeDijon · 21/03/2026 09:10

Cerave make up removing balm
Cerave foaming cleanser
M&S body wash Pink Pepper
Nivea iq10 or Nivea cellular serum
Nivea day cream for oily and combination skin
Nivea spf 50 facial liquid
Nars concealer
Elf tubing brown mascara
Faith in Nature Grapefruit and orange shampoo for greasy hair
Ditto their conditioner
John Frieda root booster volume spray
Toasted Crumpet hand cream
Burts Bees Red Dahlia lip balm
Dove antiperspirant stick

Would happily buy Trinny London The Elevator neck cream again but it is just so expensive

Keffert · 21/03/2026 09:49

shampoo - head and shoulders itchy scalp at the moment because my scalp is insanely dry and itchy
conditioner - garnier argon oil one
serum - currently using three. Biossance coper peptides. This is a regular repurchase. Anua 100 pdrn from advent calendar. This feels lovely on my skin. Lumene vitamin c also from advent calendar. This is the first vitamin c I’ve used that hasn’t made me really itchy and broken me out so would consider repurchasing.
moisturiser - genabelle pdrn in the morning and Augustinus Bader the rich cream in the evening. Both from advent calendar. Both ok but nothing amazing. Would maybe repurchase.
body moisturiser- akt body balm (from advent calendar). Don’t really like the smell and it’s hard to rub in. Also my chest has broken out.
hand cream- have them all over in bags and by every sink. My favourite is the M&S apothecary restore one.
foot cream - just use my body lotion or hand cream!

Catcatcatcatcat · 21/03/2026 09:50

I like to chop and change most of my products, but am addicted to Neals Yard Bee Lovely hand cream.

DailyMaui · 21/03/2026 11:27

Cleansers: Liz Earle Advanced Nourishing cleansing balm - love it, lasts for ages, would recommend and buy again. I also use M&S Apothecary Revive Cleansing Butter which is brilliant and I'd buy again.
Serum- I'm rotating three. Clarins Double Serum - seems fine, expensive, not sure it's making any difference. ROC vitamin C - very good, would rebuy. AromaZone Hyaluronic Acid serum - very good, cheap as chips, would repurchase.
Moisturiser - currently using Aestura Atobarrier hydro essence followed by Aestura Atobarrier Lotion. Exceptional for my dry skin and I would buy again and again.
Night cream - I'm using a Renew & Me tretinoin serum. Been using it for over a year and it makes a difference for sure.
Face oil - I like Pai Rosehip oil for when my skin is needing some extra care. I love a facial oil and this is my favourite by far. Always repurchase.
Shampoo & conditioner: I lost lots of hair last year so use Nioxin and Remi Scalp Care.
Body cream - I flit about but the best one is Nivea Q10 for moisture. I also love Soap & Glory Smoothie Star for the smell.
Feet - the super thick Nivea body cream in the blue bottle is brilliant. I use it every night and have never been bothered by dry or cracked skin since I started using it religiously.

M&S conditioner in the turquoise bottle has been really good

i like hemp hand cream from body shop

I couldn’t get that conditioner out of the bottle. Binned it in the end.

henlake7 · 21/03/2026 13:02

shampoo/conditioner- Aussie range (usually the moisture one or the mega one)
serum- none, but I could really use some!LOL
moisturiser- Garnier vitamin C morning, wrinkle lift evening (not sure if it does anything but it smells nice!)
body moisturiser- sanctuary spa range, along with the shower gel
hand cream- neutrogena
foot cream- none

I try and keep things low cost and as cruelty free as possible. Im still looking for a decent hand cream/neutrogena dupe (I wash my hands so much at work they crack and bleed sometimes so I need something heavy duty).

minipie · 21/03/2026 16:58

I have non sensitive, oily skin that gets congested easily, acne prone and needs exfoliating more than moisturising. So bearing that in mind:

will repurchase

Cerave face wash - with salicylic acid
Paula’s choice 2% BHA - recent discovery, I love it, really brightened up my skin
Byoma moisturiser, blue bottle - nice and light on my skin
Faith in nature shampoo & conditioner - just because it’s cheapish and comes in 2.5l bottles so good for the planet. Never found a shampoo or conditioner that makes my hair look noticeably better
Olaplex 8 - although may try 3 next time
Biotin supplements (nutrition geeks)
Erborian CC creme
Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser- very glowy, has grown on me
Nars concealer
Milk jelly lip stain

Feet I use Footner every so often & get pedicures in summer
Body cream, I only use occasionally if my arms or legs look a bit dry, use whatever needs using up
Not convinced about any of the serums I’ve tried, but I don’t have dry skin

Ilovecheeseyah · 21/03/2026 17:08

Anything by lancome - I love the creams especially nutrive. Foundations, mascara and lipsticks are all excellent. It has been around for ages and I think they have the scientific basis right. I feel that my face looks better just applying the cream.

msmillicentcat · 21/03/2026 17:49

shampoo - Ouai medium hair and have repurchased many times I love it
conditioner - Ouai medium hair conditioner, same as above
serum - Omorovicza even tone, probably won’t repurchase as it’s too expensive so will go back to Medik8 most likely.
moisturiser - I’m an Elemis marine cream cream girl but again it’s expensive and sometimes I have to make do with something cheaper. Currently using the Medik8 daily moisturiser, not sure I will repurchase.
body moisturiser - cowshed calming body lotion which is amazing, will repurchase
hand cream - have quite a few different ones kicking about but my very fave one is Laura mercier hand cream.
foot cream - Margaret dabbs, probably won’t repurchase as I don’t usually buy a cream specifically for me feet but they are extremely soft after using this I must admit it’s very good.

Yeah it’s a badly designed bottle -takes a lot of squeezing but I can just unscrew the lid

Greenwriter76 · 23/03/2026 19:43

shampoo: Only Curls co-wash, would repurchase
conditioner: Only Curls, would repurchase
serum: Day: Tesco Vit C, cheap as chips and not irritating so would repurchase. Night: Revolution Night Miracle or something, about £9 and meant to be a good dupe for Clarins. Would repurchase.
moisturiser: Night: Cerave ceramide moisturiser, thick and lovely, don’t need much, would repurchase.
body moisturiser: Palmers Cocoa butter body oil, would repurchase.
hand cream: Palmers Shea Butter, lovely, would repurchase
foot cream: O Keefes, not sure if would repurchase or if it’s as good as the reviews

noramoo · 24/03/2026 11:11

shampoo: redken volume in pink bottle, nice but not worth the cost imo
conditioner: rarely use one
serum: medik8 retinol and byoma milky toner, yes will keep using both
moisturiser: bobbi brown face base, expensive but worth it and smells divine
body moisturiser: eos vanilla body lotion, smells amazing and very moisturising
hand cream: neom night time cream, nice and thick but expensive
foot cream: rarely use!
