About a year ago I was at Old Navy and they had these one ounce moisturizers for men and I bought a few of them. 2 of the White Chocolate+Orange and 2 of the Lavender+Sandalwood. Well I ran out so I went back to Old Navy and they didn't have them any more becuase they were a promotional item

So I started looking around the mall for moisturizer and there were 3 stores that had them. The cheapest moisturizer I found was $30 dollars for 2 ounces and up to $60 for 4 ounces. I didnt' like the scent of any of them and there is no way I'm spending $60 bucks on moisturizer. I spent 4 bucks on the Old Navy moisturizers and my face looks wonderful after putting it on.

I have gone to the supermarket and don't really like the scent of many of the lotions. I'm not looking for girly scents, either so that's a big problem when looking.

Can someone else help me to find good moisturizer that I don't have to pay an arm and a leg for?!

COCO BUTTER!

I did check out some lotions and creams but I think the scent is too overpowering. Does it fade or is it strong like all day?

Costs about $7. I have been using it for a long time and I love it.

Will I smell like a french whore after using it?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

No! It doesn't have a very strong scent.

I have a question though. Are talking facial moisturizer or one for the whole body. This one is a facial moisturizer.

Facial

Feel free to inser pun there if ya want!

I use Boots No7 Day gel and then this:

My mom says it smells like her childhood (she's German)


It makes your skin uber, uber soft and smells...well it's a unique smell I cant really describe, but it smells fresh.

Fuck.. how did you get hold of that over there?

Its like gold dust here..

Lots of Boots stores here, it turns out. Gold dust, you say? I wouldn't know.

If we bought 2 we got 40% off so only come out at about 11 pounds each and we got free gifts for every 1k baht spent. The Boots girls were on commission so they loved us going in there and dropping 500 pounds.

check out the neutrogena or l'oreal mens skin care lines.

i love all things neutrogena... they are mostly unscented and lovely.

Fauxie said:

Yeah my Mum got loads of free gifts too.. It sells for £16 here, but apparently its one of the best, and it just sells like hot cakes, they cant get it delivered quick enough.. its been in the newspapers and everything..

My mum got some moisturiser from a friend in Spain, and it has slug slime in it.. apparently very good for the skin

Ok, is this an overnight cream like a facemask or is this something I can put on after I wash my face? I'm really starting to care about damn wrinkles

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Honestly, when I went looking either the price or the scent put me off as well.

I ended up just going for an organic moisturizing soap. There's a local vendor that makes and sells a variety I like especially well made from olive oil, aloe and sage. It smells like an Italian kitchen when you're using it, which always makes me hungry but just leaves a very gentle, neutral scent when you're done.

Failing that, Emm's suggestion of Neutrogena is spot on, as well. Inexpensive and with an appealingly mild, at least to me, scent.

Fauxie said:

Are they like $5,000 per bottle?

REDFEATHERS said:

It's great! We kept some free gifts - warm face masks, a nice, big L'Oreal bag, about 4 or 5 shower gels, loads of shampoo, hand creams, body lotions and gave quite a bit to friends. It's all crammed in our fridge (goes funny outside in the heat).

I'm no old lady. I'm 22 and I use this.

jess555ja said:

hahaha That's just what my niece and I have always called it.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

No, about 16.75 GBP, but since you're in the US, you can get 'Restore and Renew' - the exact same product but relabeled in the US owing to copyright issues (Johnson & Johnson has a 'protect & perfect' product, I believe). Should be around $20 from Target, if they still have stock. It's great stuff!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Ok, I did buy a bottle of Johnson's Softlotion at the supermarket. It's the "Extra Care Healing Lotion". It's pretty mildly scented and it definitely softens my face but boy is there a shine later on. It has a touch of baby oil. Too much a touch apparently. I took a picture the other day and my whole forehead was glowing

Next!
