I'm another who uses Superdrug Vitamin E moisturiser. I have sensitive skin and have used this product for several years. I'm 82 soon, with good looking skin. But as others have said, skin creams are very
personal.

I use Aldi’s Caviar day cream and night cream, it is about £7 and has been compared to luxury brand La Prairie. There is also a serum and an eye cream in the range. It sells out very quickly so must be very popular.

I was gifted this caviar cream which caused facial skin rash.. although it does make my hands feel soft
I can only use Dermal cream on face and chest area as suddenly in past few months, these skin areas have become more sensitive…
So to answer your question.. I wouldn’t but skin cream recommendations are pretty personal.. let us know🙏

I don't use moisturizer only 50+ sun cream have done for years.
I have allergies including creams so have to be very careful what I use.
At 80 yrs old the result is I only have fine wrinkles around my mouth.

Vitamin E SPF 15 Moisturising Day Cream by superdrug Normal to Dry . have used for a long time

I only use 50+ sun cream have done for years. I have unknown allergies so have to be very careful what I use on my body, medications I take and some foods and drinks.

I use Aveeno Calm+Restore Oat Gel Face Moisturiser, A 50ml jar lasts 3 - 4 months and costs about £7.50 - from Amazon. I find it soothing and easily absorbed

I like nip and fab I originally got it because they were selling it off cheap in tesco .But the purple container overnight cream is great on my very sensitive skin and round my even more sensitive eyes !

I've recommended Wowyou wowyou.com products before and do again. I've been using them for quite a few years now (I'm nearly 68) and find them very good. They do a great range and have recently introduced body scrub and body butter. They are also reasonably priced.

I should declare an interest as the company was started by the friend of DS and his wife!

I have crepey (not creepy) skin on my underarms. Any suggestions??

Green People scent free 24 hour cream Anti aging
Works for me

I alternate with a Rose oil, from Holland and Barrett, to a face cream from Lidl. Seems to work for me

I find that the Superdrug vitamin E range suits my skin. Usually "buy one get one halfprice".

I recently found that my usual skin cream (Nivea q10) just wasn’t hydrating enough anymore. I researched on Dr Google and found a relatively inexpensive one called Curel (Amazon) really suits me - it is so light but incredibly soothing on my sensitive skin, and my skin feels so much better. Always use the Water Essence before moisturising too. No idea what it is but it’s very soothing. I suppose it’s like a serum.

I've been making my own cream using equal parts coconut oil, almond oil, raw shea butter and sometimes raw cocoa butter. Make sure the butters are softened first and then blend all together in a mixer and decant into a container. In winter it hardens but is softer in summer.

Aveeno is good, light and non greasy.

I have used Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance for my daytime moisturiser for years now (after the daily microfoliant). Although it looks expensive, the tube contains 100mls product which makes it very good value. Lasts for ages.

Green People do a lovely range to suit all skin types including an anti-ageing range (although I don’t really like those claims). All their products are organic, cruelty free and not too expensive.

I use Boots future renew, serum, day and night cream. I am 76 and get compliments on my skin.

Looking at the range of creams on this thread and the results it strikes me we have to take our individual skin types into consideration. I have a difficult skin, dry and flaky and used NO.7. over the past 35 years am now 80 and my skin looks quite good. I have changed to Orly or L'Oreal because I can buy it discounted in Tesco also get it when I do my weekly shop if necessary. We do no longer have a Boots in our area so this has been a boon. Skin is still good and reasonably wrinkle free. Quite chuffed when people don't believe I am 84. For the first time in years (since Covid) I have stopped wearing makeup.

I use Superdrug Factor 50 face suncream all the year round; it is as good as any face cream I have tried and priced reasonably at about £4-£5.

Which skin cream do you find best? I'm talking about for really mature skin 70 to 80 years old.!
Is it worth paying for creme de mer?

Yes it is worth paying for Crème de la Mer, it’s a beautiful cream, smells wonderful and a little goes a very long way. I use it as a night cream as it’s quite rich for during the day.
