I have been using Clinique 'Even Better' moisturiser for about a year and I have to say it really has made a difference to my skin. I would recommend it as have tried most other creams over the years and this one really works. It is a bit expensive but you only need a little. BC XX

Good skin is often the work of good genes not necessarily what products you use. I use good old Nivea - hand cream, moisturiser and eye cream. I do think my skin benefits from using a gentle exfoliator now and then but someone told me that you can do that with a cleanser and flannel.

I'm allergic to Lanolin,or something else in a lot of moisturiser/cleansers, so have to be careful. 'Simply' products are no good.
I use Aqueous cream to clean my face.
I used to use Ulay face cream- then it became Olay and changed something in it's ingredients,or my skin got fed up with it!
I used Body Shop Hemp face cream for years- but they've stopped making it. I am currently using their hand cream on my face!!

How I hate the bother & expense of trying to find a new moisturiser.
Try the blooming things for a week - then, if I don't notice the slight taughtness of my skin, my eyes will suddenly get huge scaly bits on them and the skin on my face starts peeling off. I'd beo okay if I was in a Zombie film!!

I have always moisturised and also creamed my hands. I see no point in buying the expensive ones, they are all hype anyway. Baby lotion or Simple preparations are my favourite.

I use the one from the pound shop Derma10 you can get day and night cream.

And it works. When i was away someone said i looked about 40 i am 57.

which ones do you use and do you think they work?

Are more expensive ones actually better or are cheaper alternatives just as good?

OR are they all a waste of money......what do you think? x
