Sadly, Johnson's baby cream is no longer cutting the mustard and the skin on my face is really quite dry. Can anyone recommend a cheap and cheerful moisturiser that's not too heavy or oily (I don't wear make up and never put soap on my face). Thanks from a 42 year old who is suddenly realising that she is not a teenager anymore!

Hi Buenchico - thanks for the link (know where Aldi is, go there so often they give the kids free chocolate!). Park there to get to town (usually has spaces and I am rubbish at parking (plus the car is too big for me) and they sell cheap cider which is lovely.

M&S do a light Day cream with Vit E for about £4. Excellent.

Oh no - now I have got to make some sort of decision, will go to town on Thursday and have a look around (well, for as long as thing 1 and thing 2 can stand it).

I`ve worn clinique dramatially different moisuriser for 15 years. I`ve tried numerous other brands but I always go back to that. I like to feel a moisuriser on my face because I think that if you put something on your face and it disappears and you can`t feel it that`s because it is just water and it evaporates off. I`m still searching for the definitive night cream though.

Seriously though...I use ALDI's 'Shimmering Day Cream'....very light,non-greasy,smells of peaches,and leaves a soft glow. I have sensitive skin-and have never had any problems using this....and it is only £1.99.
Oh-and it had rave reviews when it came out.

I use the facecreams from Lidl and find them excellent. About £3.00 per pot. Ulay brings me out in a rash. Aldi creams likewise have good reviews.

Aldi still do that one in the first link as far as I know, I'm pretty sure I had a pot a couple of months ago. I like nivea and it was on offer in tescos not long ago, (half price for face wash and cream).

Hello Pasta, you weren't there when I started my post. I still have quite greasy skin, especially around the nose. But the benefit is that you don't get so many wrinkles :o)

Sherrard I have been using Nivea (the lotion in the bottle not the greasy creme in the flat tin) for 50 years now. I have tried expensive ones, but nothing is as good as Nivea.

Yes, lottie is quite right. She is lucky to have naturally oily skin. Whatever you use, keep it up - you will find the benefit as you get older. I have always put cream on my face and although I have wrinkles (after all, I would be odd if I didn't at 84) my facial skin is far better than many others of the same age group. My sister in law is far, far worse than mine and she is 7 years younger. Keep going - you won't regret it.

Reading this with intrest, how come us blokes can go our entire lives with no type of cosmetic ever ? Is it something to do with hormones?
I would estimate that 98% of men have never used any type of cosmetic.
The only time I used make up was when I used stage make up , I used to be a keen on amateur dramatics in my youth .
