Good Moisturiser! Recommendations?

Orlagh123

I'm wondering if any of ye have any good recommendations for good moisturisers for young combination skin! I'm only 21 so I'm not looking for something too heavy like anti-aging; I normally use Simple moisturiser but I think that might be a bit too light for my skin now because it's water based! I have kinda combination skin, dry cheeks and oily t-zone though my forehead can be quite dry too! Anyone know of anything that might be good preferably with an SPF and not too expensive for a penniless student?! Thanks!!

Face or Body?

I dont know about face but for body try 'Silcocks Base' youll get it in most chemists, very cheap and you get a huge tub for your money

The Aldi Lacura might be worth a try - gets very good reviews, my friends use it, but I haven't tried it myself.

The La Roche Posay stuff is very good and not *too* expensive, maybe €16 for a tube? Not sure which range would suit, maybe Hydraphase. I'm very happy with all the products I've used from them.

Neutrogena have a new moisturiser out with spf 25 there's one for combination skin too. I picked it up in tescos a while back on offer and it was under €7

This stuff is lovely from the body shop. It's a little pricier than stuff from boots or that but you really only need to use a pick of it. It's great for combination skin. I prefer clinique moisturiser but if I was stuck for cash this is the one I'd go back to.

I have combination skin and am using boots No7 balanced Results Day Sorbet... I would definitely recommend it, it's really light and is much better than any previous brands I have used. (I'm in my mid twenties so not using anti aging products yet)
Not too expensive (not sure of exact price) even cheaper if you have any of the 7.50 off vouchers about.

Dermalogica skin smoothing cream is amazing it's aboutvtwebty pounds on line but with it and lasts ages. I've also found the eucerin creams really good for combination skin and the neutrogena environmental one can't remember the name it's a White tub blue writing

I SWEAR by Oil of Olay beauty fluid. It's a good light moisturiser, with SPF 15 and it also doubles as a make up base. It's the only one I ever found that moisturises my skin enough without clogging it up / being too heavy. It varies from 6 - 10 euro depending on where you buy it and it lasts ages.

I was 21 when I started using it and I'll be 24 next week.... I honestly don't know how I lived without it!

My favourite for ~€10 has to be Nutrogena's Day Cream.
Smells yummy, sinks in like a dream, is a great base for make-up and is SPF15.

I've used it for years and now the OH steals it too

Has anyone tried or does any one know a good moisturiser for dehydrated or dry skin?

I've tried everything over the years from Silcocks base to a very expensive one from lush. Preferentially something with no paraffin in it....

My skin is also very sensitive the last one I tried was the neutrogena environment one with the spf 15 and it made my face bright red and right into broke vein territory! So at the moment I'm down to using 99% Aloe Vera gel with the oil from burst vitamin E capsules.... it seems to be working at the moment but is lacking SPF, make up doesn't sit to well and the oil is clogging my skin up. My skin also reacted to the simple range and the majority of other brands aimed at the sensitive skin market.

I've heard really good things about la proche posay and it being suited to my skin type so any products from them that anyone can recommend?

Good skin comes from within! Try Eskimo fish oil tabs with added vitamin e. And drink loads of water.

+1 for Lacura products.

la Roche posay is great, i've used their lipkar ap range for psoriasis and it's the biz. I'd recommend finding a pharmacy that stocks it and ask for the product to suit you.

I swear by the Q10 cream from Lidl. It is anti-aging (and I am only 26) but it's light and doesn't make my skin freak out when I put it on. A lot of moisturisers make me red for some reason.

I have been through Clinique, Lancome, Dermalogica (which I love but can't afford!) and so many other brands and I always go back to this. It costs about €2.
