A skin care professional told me,cheap moisturiser is too harsh for skin&will do more damage than good.true?

a skin care consultant who has years of experience told me that cheap high street moisturising products are too harsh to skin and therefore will do a lot of damage to skin. Is this true?


She was not trying to sell anything to me in anyway so why would she say it if it wasnt true? is it better to invest in a more expensive moisturising cream?

Not true. I believe my doctor told me that (quite some time back). Cheap ones are fine.

Yes it is true. Sometimes we may not think that saving a lil money here %26amp; there is any different than the name brand but some stuff like moisturizers is one of them. BEcause the shelf life for one is not as long as say some of the more expensive ones. But it depends how much you care about your skin.
Reply:absolutely rubbish - i have been using cheap moisturisers


for years with no problems and have good skin - e45 - dove


nivea - cocoa butter - ponds - find one you like - your only


paying extra for posh packaging and advertising


had a friend who used vaseline at night - her skin looked


great but i didn't like the texture
Reply:Huh! She would say that wouldn't she?
Reply:She probably said this because she believed it, but it is not true. There are many excellent moisturizers that you can purchase in the drug store or grocery store. If you have sensitive skin, you should avoid those that claim to reduce wrinkles.
Reply:No, that's not true. I'm not sure why she told you that. A lot of expensive moisturisers have been found to do no better than cheaper ones. I don't know if you saw that programme on BBC recently (in the UK, can't remember what it's called) with that scientist lady looking at beauty products and whether they really work and it found some of the cheaper face creams like Nivea to work while really expensive ones weren't that great. Of course, you can also get it the other way around. It really depends on the individual product/brand but I would think that this stuff goes through a number of tests before it's put on the shelves so I doubt they're allowed to sell stuff that does actual damage to your skin. They either work or don't work
Reply:Every one of our skinns differ, some of us are lucky and can use cheap moisturising and some of us has to use expensive creams. You'll have to "test drive" a bit and see what works for your skin. Good luck.
Reply:I think that you have to make that judgement for yourself by trying out different products (by recommendation of course). I've been using Garnier for years and everyone remarked how well my skin looked. I've tried to upgrade as I like more natural products on my skin and tried Body Shop which is actually laced with lots of chemicals.





Body Shop products are not that great for my skin except for their Body Butters so I'll keep experimenting and find that ultimate product that's great for my skin. I might just well be Garnier any way!
Reply:go to the ingredients panel on a cheap product... 10/10 times first ingredient is water.... why are you paying for a product to be 90% water.. no wonder its cheap. Then you'll probably follow down to all sorts of parabens, sodium laureth sulphate, alcohols and god knows what else. Then at the very bottom you may see a plant extract or something at the bottom, which will often then be followed by artificial colours and perfume/ fragrance's. You get what you pay for. Good active ingredients cost a hell of a lot more for cosmetic companies than what the above do. hence why active products that work are more expensive. But on the other hand you should need to pay ridiculous money either which you can for more of your boutique products. best advice i can give is to know your ingredients. They also have to be listed on packaging in order from highest concentration to lowest. There are some really good products available in salons and spa's (these need to be professionally prescribed to your skin) which are between 80 and 90 percent active. Versus your supermarket 10-20 percent actives. It is not so much that they will do damage, unless of course they are abrasive granules or very high in acids or alcohols. But they wont do much good either...... Best off spending money wisely if you really want to take good care of your skin. And I'm not trying to sell you anything, each to their own.
Reply:Why would you buy anything cheap for the welfare of your skin, especially your face?


I always buy expensive creams(Clairns etc) for my skin and found that they are worth every penny. you buy cheap your gonna get cheap, surely you value yourself a llittle bit more than that!
Reply:Moisturiser is moisturiser, she probably only said that so you would come back and spend all your money on her products.
Reply:Don't waste your money on the expensive ones they aren't any better than the cheap ones and both are probably full of chemicals that are absorbed into your body and finish up in your brain heart liver bladder and womb where they stay and over the years can start to cause trouble. I have been researching this for over a year now and the truth behind most of the cosmetic houses products is shocking. Go on the Greenpeace web site The Chemical House and see for yourself also try putting in a few chemical names from the ingredient list on the tub of moisturiser, shampoo or any other cosmetics you have into the search engine and see what comes up. I now make my own moisturisers and shampoo and my friends and family also use them.
Reply:Don't think so......................It's a lie!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Nah, use Simple moisturiser! Its not expencive and no way is it harsh! Alot of really expencive stuff just smells nicer and has fancy packaging. Simple is the best!
