Alright all you 50 something (or older) ladies out there, which face cream/moisturiser do you us?

I'm thinking of trying the new Olay miracle cream, has anyone tried it yet?

IT HAS BEEN TRIED AND TESTED BY THE PROFESSIONALS AND THERE IS NO MIRACLE CREAM.

WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR VITAMIN E CREAM, I GOT SOME, AND HAVE BEEN PUTTING IT ON MY FACE, AND IT'S GREAT.
ESPECIALLY IF YOU'VE GOT DRY SKIN.

AT 75P A GO, IT WON'T BREAK THE BANK EITHER

*sighs* I can't use it.... all of them either make my skin feel itchy, or I go all blotchy.

So.... no magical rejuvenation for me, I am afraid!

*sighs again*

ps... it is why I stay plump.... it pads out the wrinkles ;¬))

Good old fashioned Nivea is what I use occasionally.

DAFF. KNOW WHAT YOU GO THROUGH.

I CAN'T USE MANY OF THEM EITHER.

HAVE YOU TRIED AQEOUS CREAM. IT'S GOT NOTHING ADDED

Thanks ladies, any more?

I try different ones, and have always cleansed and moisturised my skin, from a teenager - I always hated soap as it dried my skin. You don't have to spend a fortune - some of the Avon ones I've used have been lovely.

Hi Vods... yes, I have used it on my hands sometimes, if they get dry and rough, but it only works for a short while, and then it goes into reverse and I start itching and get little hive patches... so there is something in it that doesn't like me!!.......

but fortunately... and here is the best bit.... I am sensitive to a lot of the stuff that goes into household cleaning products.... so I try not to use them ,lololol So I tend not to get dry skin... and a little bit of olive oil works wonders!!

I use 'Siana' from Aldi - day & night creams £1.85 each. I'm very happy with them & read about them first on this site!

Angela

hello....I used different ones and the one I love and have noticed a differance is Bobbi Browns serum..and I am not in my 50's I am 33.........














ish

I use Johnsons baby soap and moisturiser. Annie

well there was survey on telly the other day several ladies were given creams to use in blank pots price range going up to £175 you know what came out on top

E45 85p a pot

Daff. What some people will do to avoid H....WORK pmsl

Have you ever had Diprobase from you doc?

Ann
I saw that. Just as I said there is no 'miracle' cream.

Always used E45 years ago Ann. Wonder if it will cure my wrinkles now though...lol...

E45 burns me... used to burn my son, too.... Well, that is what it feels like... it used to contain lanolin, which I am very sensitive to.

Hayley......... you don't look a day over, either, honestly.

btw - I'm 56 & look gorgeous :-))))

Why thank you Daff bit I have only been using it 6 weeks ...PMSL xx

I have used Olay face creams since i was a teenager.Yes i am over 50.
I have tried and tested every new Olay that comes out
[ cost a fortune some of them ] but i can honestly say that none of them are any different what ever they say it suppose to do .

I stick with Olay as like it , just personnel choice but i have stopped buying the most expensive of the brand .


Cath

i'm 54 and i have'nt got any wrinkle's





YET!!!!!!!!!

Well in that case Hayley... what you putting that muck on yer face for when you clearly don't need it, lol!!
*sticks tongue out*

Vods.... it's the same as Aqueous, more or less.... it doesn't really cause a problem... I have slightly greasy skin, naturally, so never needed to use much... I can only wear make up of any sort for a short while... so don't often bother any more.

I use the tumble dryer balls rather than conditioner, most of the time... and I change my shower and hair products regularly, which reduces the problems.

I am just downright awkward, me, lolol
