Hey guys and welcome back to Mad About Skin where today I want to take is super affordable with some of the cheapest but most effective skincare products i have ever found. I would love to know your thoughts on the products mentioned in todays video.. Sending you so much love x
Hi Rob the 88p price of that moisturiser means Boots are discontinuing it - it was more when I bought it a few months ago. This is the sister brand to child's farm and hasn't quite been the success they had hoped. It is showing up in the likes of Home Bargains and is obviously being discontinued. This particular cream gave me a reaction on patch testing and my partner is using it as a hand cream btw. The Simple brand has some decent products, but they are hit and miss for me as to whether my skin reacts to them or not. I haven't tried the Primark skincare, but may have a look. I think it is important to find decent budget skincare for many people the cost of living is eating up any money they may have had to treat themselves - many families are encountering extreme poverty. Just as a tip Savers is always the best price for the Simple brand on an ongoing basis week to week. The spf shown from Simple is usually £6 so you got it on offer, but £6 is still a decent price point. I think Simple is much more expensive in the US than it is here (really unusual as we're always the ones that pay more for skincare). I have tried both the Garnier and the Simple misceller waters, as well as a variety of others. None of them are as gentle yet effective on eye makeup as the Bioderma, especially around my rosacea affected eyes. The Bioderma is always on sale somewhere and I always shop around for the best price. A 500ml bottle lasts me months and months for removing eye makeup, so when you factor in all of that it is worth it for ME. I really don't buy hardly anything over the £15 point except spf, but that's because my skin is so difficult to treat. Having skin conditions like rosacea and eczema causes real issues re sensitivity/irritation and so few things really work well for me. If more economical things work for me, then i'm more than happy to use them and save some money. Unfortunately buying several things that don't work, can be much more expensive then buying the thing you know works for you day in and day out. I've had to give away so many products to family and friends as my skin hated them, so I'm now buying a lot of tried and true favourites with the occasional foray into something new. Best wishes.
When budget is really tight all I could be able to focus on is hydration and moisturization. Food or pharmaceutical grade glycerin and baby mineral oil is my go to. Any extra would go for retinoids. For sun protection, I'd use umbrellas.
Totally here for super affordable skincare. One of these days I will need to travel to the UK with a massive but empty suitcase and fill it to the brim at Boots 😜😂
I have seen you mention Aldi and Lidl products in your videos and I would like to see you do a best and worse video. In the past I avoided super cheap products because I didn't think they could be made with quality ingredients and weren't safe. Now I know more about skincare and I don't mind buying basic cleansers or moisturizers from the likes of Lidl and Aldi. But the truth is I have been underwhelmed by their face products. I am not so picky when it comes to body products and actually found a nice body lotion with oatmeal in the baby aisle.
Love this! Rob, I think you should include cruelty free on your titles or at least a hashtag on the description. I normally look for cruelty free but have a hard time seeing a good selection.
I have never been a big fan of the Simple range back to the days when I thought you had to splash the cash to get results. BUT one product I do like is their Micellar Facial Gel Wash which is super hydrating and normally around the £5 price point but frequently available at various stores for £2.50. I find this perfect for a morning wash during the summer months which I tend to skip in the Winter.
My favourite thing about these products is they’re often affordable enough that I can use them on my body. The PS retinol serum has done wonders for getting my legs to look better for summer. It leaves them so soft!
I’m even more excited to come back to the UK now!! I think I’ve seen those Good Skin products in Boots here, I’m going looking for that oil control one today!! I’m definitely going to try that retinol from Primart for my neck, currently using the Boots one but it’s more pricey than my tret, like 5x more!! Thank you for looking out for bargains for us. Love you 😍
The e.l.f. bounce back jelly cleanser is also wonderful. I love using a non foaming, hydrating cleanser in the morning, or after double cleanser and although the Jelly Pop is my fav (Im obsessed with watermelon skin and hair care lol), the Bounce Back is amazingly hydrating and gentle. OH and not sure about over there, but it's the 60% off e.l.f. summer sale for Beauty Squad members of their web site! I ordered 26 products for $50! The cleansers are on sale, etc... I also got some make-up items I've had on my wish list forever for 60% off, so I am SMILING right now... I have to admit, I love deliveries! ❤️ Have a GREAT weekend!!
This video speaks to my heart. Preaching to the choir here chuck. And I properly went eek! when you mentioned Your Good Skin, a truly wonderful brand. And one of my all time staples, Simple, cant beat them. Im so off to Primark this weekend, and Im going to hunt down that Farmologie brand down too. Thanks for the oh so helpful suggestions. Let the hunt begin!!!
Thanks again for sharing some really great finds! I love Elf and will be trying the Elf gel cleanser for sure. I'm loving the Keep the Balance toner, aloe spray toner and coconut water which I keep in the fridge for a quick spritz. I personally am okay with fragrance so long is not overkill. Love Simple as an easy go to brand. Thanks again ☺️ loved this video.
I love these kind of videos, we all need to tighten our shoestrings right now! Boots have deffo stepped up their game of late. Thank you for making this vid xxxx ps I still can't see the links to the products xx
hey Rob, what an interesting video, thanks for posting. As much as I love to learn about effective products I think I will stick with the tried and true MAS. This is great info though. If I ever get to travel again, and I forgot to pack something, this knowledge will come in handy. Happy Thursday and sending over some Canadian love ~ Paula
I've been waiting for someone to talk about primark's skincare!!! I don't tend to use salicylic acid on my face (only spots I get are hormonal nowadays and salicylic acid unfortunately does zilch for them) but I get back + shoulder acne and spots in my ears (anyone else get those?) and I was looking for a cheap salicylic acid product to deal with them, so I picked up the PS... Salicylic Acid Serum when I was in primark one day and it worked so damn well to clear up my spots and helps deal with new ones sooo quickly! I was amazed! 2% salicylic acid plus willow bark (i.e. the "natural" alternative) for just £3.50!!! Absolute Bargain!!!
For those in Australia New Zealand and it is available in other countries QV Face is an Australian brand for sensitive and dry skin, my dermatologist got me onto this brand and recommends for all skin types, great for supporting the skin when on retinol. Available at ever pharmacy and an example of pricing is $25 AUD for 500mls of cleanser.
I would love love to introduce y'all to german/european drugstore products, you could build a skincare routine with those and they're all so affordable
Please do share because I regularly have a meltdown in my local drugstore due to the sad product range on offer. Seems like I haven’t tried the good stuff! 😉
I'm literally thinking of making a UA-cam video myself lmao. But I'll probably post a huge ass comment for u guys later at night. I'll go over everything a skincare routine could have so we'll start with cleansing (I'll talk about cleansing bars, foaming cleansers and oil cleaners both with and without surfactants), then toners and serums (serums will take off the most part so I'll devide them into exfoliants, nianciamide, anti oxidants which technically includes nianciamide and humactants) and moisturizers and sunscreens.
Most of the products will be from isana and balea (the brands are owned by rossmann and dm) and most of the sunscreens will be from nivea, garnier and also sun ozon and sun dance (the last two are also owned by rossmann and dm)
@@myselfme7945True that - the drugstores’s own brands have really shaped up of late, especially Balea. And funniest thing: I’ll happily use all their body and hair care stuff but the face stuff… not so much. Maybe I’m a bit spoiled but often their products miss the mark, at least for me. Same goes for the sunscreens: will totally use the body spf from Sundance or the other brands but I really don’t like their face spf products. Though sunscreens is absolutely a category I can’t complain about here in the EU. 😜 But please do a review and call out your faves!! 🙏🏻 I just quit my job with no plans what to do next so frugality here I come lol 😂
An amazing informative video, and your so pleasant to watch, I feel like I’m sitting in with a best friend having a chat 🥰 I have a list now on my way to Pennys! (Primark in Ireland) looking forward to your next vids 🤩👍🤗xxx
I recommended the Garnier micellar water yesterday, when a friend wanted something for while they are camping and water is a premium 😁. I am going to Primark at the weekend - I might end up with a big bag on the way out!!!! 🤣
Happy Thursday hun xxxx yayy another drugstore video!! I love these 🥰🥰🥰I just recently bought some primark skincare products, we have similar skincare minds haha 😂💕I just bought the salyclic acid and toner so excited to try them out😘😘😘sending all the hugs ever
Thank you for this video!! It think it’s wonderful when a professional mentions truly great products that don’t cost too much, and you actually showed really affordable ones!! I always try to find the best product for the lowest price, because spending 15/20 €/£/$ on a product may not be a lot, but once you start adding steps to your routine then it becomes a problem! Sometimes I use Revolution Skincare serums and cleansers, have you ever tried those?? I’d love to hear your opinion on them!!
I say $8 for the moisturizer Rob.. 😳 88 pence.. Is that less than a dollar? 🤔 😘💕Thank you Rob, for looking out for us.. You are 100% correct, prices are increasing EVERYWHERE. For some, we might have to start minimizing our SkinCare products, what's needed, works and affordable.. Hey Rob, it looks like Amazon, Instacart, Walgreens website carry, "Your Good Skin."
Ah I've come across some crazy bottom shelf deals like that farmologie moisturiser at boots and superdrug before! They usually do that when they're discontinuing a product though :(
Hey Rob!!! I keep checking but I'm not seeing an update to the products you mentioned. Is the issue on my end or are you having trouble loading it? Just checking😉 Thanks!!!
Hey Rob! I really wanted to try the Simple SPF, but I was put off by a lot of reviews saying that it pills really bad?? Did you experience this at all?🧡
Sorry about the issues people are having with the video.. it should be fixed now :) love you all xx

Absolutely brilliant: as somebody whose house is full of skincare of so many brands, you seem to be most excited about the cheapest finds.
Love these recommendations Rob! I can attest the Holy Hydration cleanser is top notch. It makes for a very enjoyable evening cleanse.
When budget is really tight all I could be able to focus on is hydration and moisturization. Food or pharmaceutical grade glycerin and baby mineral oil is my go to. Any extra would go for retinoids. For sun protection, I'd use umbrellas.
Another great video Rob! Could you please list the products you mentioned in today's video? It would be great help!❤❤
Yes, please provide links if possible!

I will meet you there with my empty suitcase 😂
PS Skincare is unreal ❤❤❤❤❤ A great way to support cruelty free too!!
OMG I know I love their products so much.. Thanks for watching and sharing x
Simple is such a good brand!

Oh wow, thank you for this! I truly need to cut back on my spending. Everything is just too expensive now.
Your excitement for these products really showed in this video! Thanks for sharing all of these drugstore finds. Love you xxxxxxx

Love the Garnier micellar water, never stings my eyes. Also love the your good skin comforting gel cleanser, in the states it’s available at Walgreens

I think PS serum is the ester form of retinol which is less effective than retinol product.
