I am guessing that you cannot recommend or critique skin care products on this forum?
For Christmas my daughters brought me a selection of expensive products specifically for chemo skin. These were from a specialist company who say they work with the NHS. They are
branded as ‘luxury products’ but the reality is that they are not. The sizes are extremely small although they say a little goes a long way. I did not find this true for some of them, I had to complain to the supplier about some of them as they were rock hard. Given that they are body butters this was odd.
The response was to ‘warm them on a radiator or in the microwave’. Eventually after more debate about this reply they sent me something else but it did not fully compensate and again was not ‘luxurious’.
My thoughts are that there are lots of ‘High Street’ unscented products that will give good results and represent much better value for money. I feel strongly that people in our position should not be misled by advertising to spend large amounts of money on essential products to help us maintain essential good skin health at this difficult time. It is already an expensive time for a lot of us trying to eat well and incurring extra travel costs to numerous appointments etc etc.
I just wondered what others on here think about this?
Thank you x
I agree. I’ve been bought a variety of targeted, expensive creams as gifts, which is nice of course but. When I buy for myself I buy the e45 or any other brand of unscented, simple products and they’ve been just as good, zero difference in outcome on my body. Anything aimed at sensitive skin is good. I know this will be unpopular on here but same goes for deodorants. I actually had this conversation with my breast consultant this week and she said just use whatever you like, all this aluminium, additive free stuff is ‘scientifically debunked nonsense’. That’s a direct quote! Don’t shoot the messenger
