Yes they often have a few Inkey List products in Home Bargains. I got the PCA Bond Repair hair treatment for £3.50 a few weeks ago and it seems to have done wonders for my damaged hair.
Does anybody have any recommendations for good value face cleansers? Ideally one that’ll do a good job at removing makeup! I’ve been using an expensive one for years but really not sure it’s worth it, given it’s just rinsed off straight away.
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water is great, £6 for 700ml at Lidl. It removes every scrap of makeup and doesn't sting my eyes or dry my skin out.

i use an oil cleanser for a first double cleanse step but also a microfibre cloth. they get the majority of makeup off with just water and can be washed/reused hundreds of times

I use almond oil from Holland and Barrett to remove my make up which works a treat and is super cheap as it’s often on offer and last ages

Same. I used to use Elemis cleansing balm as my first step, but switched to Superdrug B Beauty one as it’s under a quarter of the price, and it’s really good for the price!

Farmologie moisturiser - £2.99 for a 100ml tube in Savers. Also the FaceFacts eye cream/repair serum and face masks are all excellent. Got a bunch of the face masks in Home Bargains for 49p each.

Superdrugs Me+ skincare range is the bomb and so reasonable. Their hyaluronic acid booster and BHA toner are fantastic.

Also Superdrug tea tree oil - the absolute GOAT for any one prone to coldsores like me.

L'Oréal have an Olaplex type knockoff (Elvive Bond Repair) that makes my hair like silk. It's not that cheap full price, but I got each product for a fiver on offer (I got mine on Amazon but also saw them on offer in the supermarket) and they're so much cheaper than Olaplex and seem to really work on my long, damaged hair.

I just bought this today, it's buy one get one free on the whole range so I got the hydrating mist too.

The Beauty Pie cleansing balm is also good and cheaper than the fancy pants branded stuff. The jar feels quite luxe too.

Just to update this as someone liked it- I’ve since learned this is comedogenic and so I use The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser, and I’ve also ordered the Inkey List Oat Cleanser to try as apparently this is good!

I know this was a year ago but this is so clever! I haven’t thought of doing that. What do you dilute it with?
Normal water. Half and half. I used to get it made up in Boots in them big brown medicine bottles, but now I buy the rose water from the World Foods aisle in the supermarket which I dilute.
I have sensitive skin. You'd need to read the small print on the bottle to see if it needs diluting but I do anyway because of my skin.
