Ladies - best ‘budget’ anti aging skincare?

[Clare]

Starting to get the dreaded ‘lines’ (including one stubborn frown line!), over the last year I’ve spent too much on high end products and I want to be mor cost effective.

Can anyone recommend products that do work but at a reasonable cost (ideally £25 or less).

Ideally I want to avoid products containing retinol.

Thanks

Liz Earle is very good, I also swear by Kiehls midnight recovery oil.

[soooexcited!]

Have you tried no 7 age defying range? Often on 3 for 2.

I gave up on forehead and got a fringe.

Too late for me... but i have so many good report about boots range.

I use the Ordinary range, one with retinol though. Look up the different items to suit your skin condition. They are cheap enough in Boots.
I use the Clarins double serum and slap on Lacura moisturiser. And a good SPF for Spring onwards.
Aldi Lacura range is all excellent and cheap enough to slap on more.
The Ordinary serums i use day and night before other creams.

Thanks ladies,

I’m thinking perhaps investing in a good serum but then cutting back price wise on cleanser/toner and moisturiser.

I had the double serum and I don't honestly think it did anything. I'm a mare for forgetting to use things tho, it's like I think once I've bought it then the magic should happen.

Micellar water is nice for cleansing. I have the Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser at the moment but it can make my face feel a bit tight.
