SIMPLE CLEAR SKIN OIL BALANCING MOISTURISER, £3.99
as per recommendation by Marie Claire magazine:
It was good, as in cheap, but when the tube ran out I opted for Boots own brand
Boots Expert Sensitive Daily Defence Moisture Cream
Actually I got it as I'd seen it in my friend's bathroom, and she has PERFECT skin. I mean, who needs some dumb magazine recommendation when the proof is right there in front of your very own eyes?
It was preferable to the 'Simple' one as this actually had an SPF (12), and was on an insane offer- £4.49 by itself, or £4 for 2 selected Expert Sensitive products. Naturally I opted for the two-for-one and also bagged a 200ml Gentle Cleansing Lotion also.
The Cleansing Lotion is fine, but the moisturiser is just all wrong for me! It's a pump-dispenser, and if you squirt a "full" pump it's miles too much. And then the product itself is just greasy! I felt it as soon as I spread it between my hands to apply onto my face- oily moisturiser on oily skin ? Nightmare!
So I'm back to the Marie Claire list, and the next most expensive on there is Garnier Pure Active Spot Fighting moisturiser. Wish me luck!
