I currently use Decleor's neroli oil and hydra floral moisturiser. I am a big fan of Decleor products but feel I need something more moisturising. Has anyone tried the related products in the Decleor range? Other product suggestions most welcome. Smile

I had very dry skin untill I started using C serums and HA serums (I use relaxaline, but skinceuticals B5 gel is fantastic as well!). I have also discovered the amazing wonder of jojoba oil. I can wear it under make up and it is pure heaven Very Happy

I've got the Decleor Hydra Floral creme, which is a very rich creme that would be good for a dryer skin, too rich for my skin in fact. I'm waiting till winter to see if my skin gets dry enough to use this.

mimirose ,

I love decleor and have really dry skin, have you tried the angelique oil, which is for dry skin. Also try exfoliating and using a mask at least 1 to 2 times a week.

a good mask to try for dry skin maybe would be Thalgo Moisture quench mask. I have combination skin and use it, but I could see how it would be useful for dry skin- mine was dry when the beautician recommended it. Maybe get a sample- but I love it, smells lovely and seems to work.

I've previously used the Angelique and the Nutri-Delice nourishing cream. Both are really good and sorted my extreamly dry skin out in a matter of months Smile

Do make sure that your skin is dry and not dehydrated though as the cream is r-e-a-l-l-y rich and would probably cause breakouts if your skin doesn't need it. The Nutri-delice Melting Soft Nourishing Cream is also very good and would probably be a better one to try if your skin isn't too dry.

Hi,

I was about to start almost the exact same thread! Laughing

I have REALLY dry skin, when I went to have a facial recently the woman was quite surprised, anyways, I've been using the Pevonia moisturiser for dry skin. To be honest that's about all I use as I'm only starting to look after my skin and I was wondering if I could have some suggestions as to what else I need, ie a cleanser, toner I assume etc.

Help me!!

Thanks!!

I'm not too familiar with the richer creams in the Decleor range but I would recommend Dr Hauschka Rose Day Cream. Lovely for dry skin, soothing, and smells great. May be a tad rich for day use depending on what level of dry your skin is at though...

Hi Fif,

I have really dry skin and the Dermologica essential cleansing solution and toner is wonderful, its the only cream cleanser that when I wash it off dosen't leave my skin dry. Watch your skin, mine changes during the seasons and I usually switch to a lighter cleanser and toner (Elemis cleanser and toner for dry skin and the Decleor cleanser and toner) during summer and spring.

Many thanks for the welcome.

You will have to educate me on what C serums and HA serums are. Confused

I don't exfoliate on a regular basis or use a mask and think that is a great suggestion. The Hydra Floral cream might not be penetrating adequately. I will give the Angelique oil a try. Thanks. Razz

The suggestions I have had have all been great. My plan is to first start regular exfoliating and using a good hydrating mask. Then move to the Angelique oil and Nutri Delice melting soft moisturising cream if I need more.

Thanks everyone. Very Happy
