The £1.50 Boots Moisturiser

Hello, and a belated Happy New Year! For my first post of 2018, I thought I'd do a quick review of the Boots Essentials Fragrance Free Moisturising Cream, which, as you can see in the title, is only £1.50. You get 100ml, which is a very generous amount and should last a while.

Some people might be a bit sceptical of how good a £1.50 moisturiser is going to be - you get what you pay for right? In this case, though, I've been really pleasantly surprised by this moisturiser. I've been using it for a few months and noticed a big, instant improvement in dryness on my chin as a result of the cold this winter.

As you can see on the packaging, this is intended for all skin types, which is probably true unless your skin is very oily. It's quite rich, so I tend to reach for a different moisturiser if I'm having breakouts, just to discourage any new spots from coming through. I think this would be a good moisturiser for those of you with dry and/or sensitive skin, as it's fragrance free.

It works quite well under makeup, sinking in relatively fast and giving you a great smooth base for applying foundation. It does everything it says on the tin, making your skin lovely and soft, which kind of makes me want to touch it - which probably isn't a good idea!

Overall, this moisturiser is an absolute bargain, and I'd highly recommend checking it out next time you need a new moisturiser! I'll certainly be repurchasing when mine runs out.

Have you tried this product? What's your moisturiser of choice at the moment?
