Superdrug Vitamin E Range

PennyWren

Do any of you use this range? One of my New Years resolutions that I definitely will not be breaking is to take better care of my mildly sensitive/dryish skin! I'd like to get a good quality cleanser,day and night cream and maybe a facial oil for especially bad bouts of flaky forehead but I'm on a limited budget.
The vitamin e range seems to get amazing reviews and I was wondering of anybody has any firsthand experience? I'm thinking of heading to the square in tallaght to pick it up and I've always gotten great advice from this forum. Thank you

Its brilliant, always stock up on.the bottles of vit e oil when in uk and buy the rest in.bulk on trips to letterkenny when.visiting family. Really like it as a product and I cannot rave enough about the oil, its amazingly versatile I.use it for everything

I use the Vitamin E hot cloth cleanser and I really like it.

You put a small (and I mean small, hazelnut-sized, or your skin will feel really oily) piece in you hands, emulsify between your palms and smooth over your face. It'll even remove waterproof mascara. You wipe it off with a muslin cloth soaked in warm/hand hot water. Your skin will feel smooth and clean. I've used this without using a toner and moisturiser afterwards with no ill effects. I've used the Eve Lom cleansing balm in the past and this gives similar results. I find it great as a winter cleanser.

+1 for the oil, which is great and is only about €3. It also smells lovely!

I also use the night cream which is less than a fiver *http://www.superdrug.com/clearer-skin/superdrug-vitamin-e-night-cream-100ml/invt/239162). Its ideal for normal/combination skin. If you have dry skin though, it might not be thick enough.

Thanks all, I got the hot cleanser, day cream and night cream and oil. Used most of them between last night and today and so far so good. I'm always a little nervous trying something new on my face in case I'd have a reaction but all good! The cleanser is lovely and they all smell divine. My only slight issue is the night cream is really really light. It had totally absorbed in about 10 mind and while my face felt soft it didn't feel as moisturised as it usually does after putting on night cream, if that makes any sense! But all in all for the price I can't fault it and I'll definitely stick with it for a few weeks and see how it goes

That's what I was trying to explain about the night cream.
If you can try an pick up the oil and if you use both together, it's more effective.

I got the oil, I thought that maybe it might be too greasy to use with the night cream but I'll give it a lash! Hopefully, I'm not really that spot prone excepts hormonal ones so I'm sure it'll be grand. Thanks
