Debenhams

[jennyjoan]

I have found a voucher for Debenhams for £50 and want to buy a good moisturiser preferably without smell or perfumed.

I have been recently using Sanctuary Body Butter and found it excellent for absorbing.

Debenhams don't seem to sell it so can anybody recommend a good moisturiser. Thanks

[Neveracrossword]

Debenhams have Clinique Deep Comfort Body Butter, £26, and a moisturiser in the same range.

[jennyjoan]

have you used never - and does it absorb well - I usually put it on last thing at night so don't want the bedclothes to get soiled

[jennyjoan]

Err - what is the difference with body butter and moisturiser

[Neveracrossword]

I've never used it, but I have a friend who loves Clinique products. She often gets samples on her shopping trips!

Body Butter is thicker, gungier, I expect.

Body butters are waxy, trapping moisture in the upper layers of the skin, moisturizers penetrate the upper layers . I have very dry hypersensitive skin and I use Aveeno cream, little or no scent, moisture seems to last as long as others I have tried and gentle enough that the hospital near me give it to radiotherapy patients for radiotherapy burns.

I use a cream from Aldi. Specially formulated for dry skin and it is keeping me moist out here. I brought half a dozen bottles with me and everyone loves it.
Spend your voucher on something else.

[jennyjoan]

that's the point Sharon - I really don't need anything - I have everything I want.

I loathe vouchers cos you are trapped to the one store

Good grief, you have a £50. freebie from Debenhams, go and treat yourself to something nice.

I suspect that it won't come as any great surprise to you, JennyJoan, when I tell you that this isn't really my area of expertise ;-)

However going to the Debenhams website, then selecting 'BodyCare' and lastly applying the 'Fragrance Free' filter, takes me here:
https://www.debenhams.com/beauty/body-care/fragrance-free

That suggests that the only suitable fragrance-free products stocked by Debenhams (or certainly the only ones that they offer online) seem to be from the the Clinique 'Deep Comfort' range. Fortunately most of the reviews there seem to be positive. (Click on your chosen product and then on '6 reviews', or similar, next to the star rating).

You can check out further reviews of their products by clicking on the links on the Amazon website (even though you won't be buying from there, of course). Click the links next to the star ratings for each of these:

E45....get it from your local chemist. I was peeling after coming back from holiday, now I'm not.

If you have everything you want, how about donating it to a charity. They could buy a special raffle prize with it, or buy things to help others.

[jennyjoan]

that's a great idea Rowan. Thanks to all the guys and gals.

[bednobs]

If you are going to use it yourself check its in date -"found" indicates for me it may have been lost for a while. Most vouchers do expire after 2 years. secondly, go into debenhams an the people on the counters will help u find what you want

[jennyjoan]

it is only6 months old - bought at xmas

[rowanwitch]

Keep it to buy a few of next year's presents and spend the cash on something you really want.

[jennyjoan]

Rowan - my next years presents is usually money for nieces and nephews.

Get your hair or nails done, nothing like a bit of pampering

[jennyjoan]

rowan - am not a pampered type of girl. managed to get toes done at the podiatrist last Thursday - tried facials - no can't stand anybody touching me - I do have a bit of Body Dysphoria LOL

I know you asked about moisturiser, but a £10 one from Boots would be as good.
Have a look in Debenhams' handbag department. I've got a lovely one from there that people always look closely at to see if it's a posh brand. It isn't, but looks it.
