Splurge vs steal: Anti-ageing skin care

I’m going try out the garnier ultralight cream! Just read its reviews and they have been glowing!

Some great choices for all budgets

Would love to try Aveda Products.

Oh I must try the Prevage forming neck cream

Thabks for the great suggestions! I always splurge in skincare though, I feel it's more important than make up

I haven't used any of these, I normally wash & exfoliate then tone and just use a moisturizer but I think as I am getting older I need to look into other products too. Great article with some amazing products

I like to buy serums and moisturisers that are a bit more pricey, but tend to save on cleansers and scrubs. I love a luxurious and pampering serum!

Efficacy trumps rather than brand name so whatever works really!

Love seeing the two options side by side!

I will always spend a little more for eye creams, serums and moisturisers but I have come across and used some cheaper products which really work.

I'm savvy with my beauty products why spend all that money on an expensive item when the lesser brand is just as good as the expensive brands are sometimes I reckon people go to ridiculous lengths to get looking fantastic with these bigger brands they go out & splurge & throw there money around like it's nothing when you can look fab with just these.

I use both. If something's cheap and works, of course I'd prefer to use that :P

Unless the fragrance has changed in Palmers I can't use anything in that brand.

I use both, I buy whatever works for my skin. I prefer it if it's cheaper, but I'll pay accordingly for products that give me results.

I love to do both but would always splurge on eye and face creams

Some excellent splurge and steals here, love to try the prevage

Great range of expensive and cheap options! Would be nice to splurge every now and then, treat the Ol skin!

I would love to try Garnier Anti Ageing Day cream. Added to my list.

I dont really buy either currently. Just stick to spf and some serums with vitamin b and c. The qsilica eye cream sure sounds great though

Some great products here - both expensive and cheap - that I'd love to try.

Yes, I have been using Elemis, and for luxe spa brand, not too shabby. Just overpriced in Australia.

I mix match...depends of the ingredients in the product, not the brand fame or the 'cult' status. For ex. Babor is very pricey for the intensely synthetically perfumed (bad for the skin) cream that does not contain many beneficial ingredients, but allergens yes!

Palmers are fabulous too and so moisturising

I would love to try the Prevage and Babor, they look very good

Thanks BH these are great!! I like to mix it up with my beauty products so I like both although I must admit the cheaper ones are just as good are the dearer ones are you just have to trust your instint & if you have had a product before & you trust that brand then stick with it, The dearer ones are just the same all your doing is paying extra for that brand name that's all.
