Avon Advance Techniques Supreme Oil Shampoo and conditioner. Liked both, made my hair feel lush but am unlikely to buy again as I never considered Avon for my beauty needs (this was given to me).

Purito B5 Panthenol Re-barrier cream.
felt like it did some good to my skin but it was so horrendously sticky even hours after application that I won’t repurchase.

It was even too sticky to comfortably use at night. I guess it meant a to be used as part of some of those 10-step Korean routines but I just put SPF over the top and that didn’t help.

Olay vitamin C and AHA resurfacing peel kit.
Incredible stuff. Already have a repurchase is as discontinued so only use it on special occasions. Can’t understand why it’s no longer available, perhaps too strong if people were using it frequently :(

Also a boots fake tan mousse that’s discontinued too. Replaced with an Aldi emergency purchase version that actually gave a lovely, even, lasting colour.

That is so disappointing!!

A'Pieu Pure Block Aqua Sun Gel SPF50+

Despite the name claiming this to be a gel, it actually wasn't, more like a cream. It's a good sunscreen, but just not for my skin type, i bet people with drier skin would love this. Worked quite hard in getting this empty, but given that I could only use a bit of it it took ages. If anyone needs a moisturizing sunscreen that has that "tacky" feeling this is your thing! I have worn a full coverage BB cream over this in warm weather and it didn't budge.

Hope you dont mind a request rather than an empty: Im thinking my skin might benefit from more care. Im 55+ always had good skin, I use miscellar water and moisturise every morning and Im making a big effort with sunscreen from now on. I dont really wear make up during the week, so I dont cleanse before I go to bed. Probably gross to you skin experts! I do feel like my skin benefits from exfoliation when I remember to do it. Do you have any recommendations for good cleansers for me please? In the past I've liked Liz earle and La Roche Posay.

I recommend CeraVe hydrating cleanser to anyone who listens, that stuff is amazing. It's creamy, if you like bubbly foam-type cleansers, this might not be for you. I've somewhat oily skin and prone to break-outs. It says on the bottle that it is for drier skin, but I've found this works much better for me than anything meant for my skin type and seems to help with breakouts as well.
It doesn't get rid of mascara for me, which I don't wear often so it's not a big concern and you wrote you like micellar water - I bet that plus the cleanser would do the job just fine.
The bottle is huge - really good value but they also sell a small test bottle which might be better for testing if you like it.

Thanks so much, I thought the bottle looked familiar, just checked and I've already got one in the cupboard FFS! So I will be using that and seeing how I get on, thanks x

I second what @Codiaeum said, it’s good stuff. Or if for any reason you have red, sensitive or reactive skin the LRP Toleriane is really good but more expensive.

I think if you’re only going to cleanse one a day better to do night that morning, you skin does not really get dirty whilst you sleep but in the day all manner of pollution and diet will get onto your face.

Finished these today. Differin is my go-to, so already repurchased. Same with the Tatcha Dewy Skin cream - I use it at night and my skin feels amazing in the morning. Sunday Riley Pink Drink came in a set and did absolutely nothing.

Update on the Garnier oat milk shampoo. Not a win for me sadly. Not a disaster in that I got to 4-5 washes and it’s only just flared on my most sensitive patch (whereas others can flare my whole scalp from one wash) but it won’t be something I can use as a daily shampoo.
£2.50 from Asda so not a big loss.

Do people really stick to the little use by X months on products? I keep going to chuck away but unless the smell or consistency has changed I’m reluctant.

I'm terrible for this, I don't pay attention to dates at all until I've used stuff up 😂

The only thing I stick to is mascara. If the smell and consistency is the same I keep using it.

No, never. It’s like milk - I use it after the use by date because you can tell if it’s gone off.

Lacura dupes are incredible.

I've finished the Lacura Bonding shampoo which I liked and might buy again however I bought this Nexxus shampoo so will use this first.

I also finished a mini of the Body Shop Green Tea shower gel which I think smells amazing but is sadly discontinued.
