Anyone found a good alternative to Clinique Dram. Different?

[InmyheadIminParis]

Hello all,

I'm a newbie on this topic so I thought I'd first say 'hi'.

I've been a clinique d.d. devotee for years (too many to mention) but what with two wee ones, etc, I just don't seem to be able to stomach the price any more . I've just run out of my last lot (bought in US). So (sorry if this has been asked before!) has anyone found a good (i.e. cheaper) alternative?

bump!

Hi! I am a devotee too, and sorry no, not found anything that comes close!

I love it too, but I'm using alot less of it and other skin products since I started washing all of myself ( face and body) with aqueous cream. I used to have to use 2 spurts from the pump in the day time and at night, plus loads of body lotion. I work for a care charity and lots of the care assistants use aqueous cream because it is very cheap and it works wonders for your skin. So, for £2 I buy a big tub and use it in the shower and watered down on my face, then I rub more on when I come out ( it is great for your cleavage area) and after a couple of weeks all my dry areas had completely gone, and I only have to use one spurt of DDML when I put my make up on. i keep a tube of E45 to hand for any dry bits that might resurface. My last lot of DDML has lasted for about twice as long as usual I would certainly recommend this for anyone with dry skin and no money!

That sounds as though it might be worth giving it a go. Thank you.
Anyone else?

Aldi do a fab face cream .

nivea soft is just as nice

Thanks - my skin seems to react badly to Nivea, but what's the Aldi face cream? I don' think there's an Aldi near here, though.
Any other suggestions?

I used to use the Clinique Moisture surge gel (sigh) but now use Loreal Hyfrafresh ( I cant remeber EXACT name as there is a blue one and a pink one, I use the pink). I would say its fine, I have clear smooth skin but thats prob because of exfoliation etc as well. Its not as good as Clinique but Ill keep using it, been using it for a year now. only £7 ish in superdrug, lasts ages.
