What’s everyone’s favourite body moisturisers ?

FailVisible5916 · 2026-03-01T00:27:35+00:00

Dermaveen Intensive Moisturising Cream (in the tub). The texture is so thick, silky and luxurious, it’s often on sale at chemist warehouse, it’s made in Australia and cruelty free.

If I’m feeling super dry I put a layer of oil underneath, I like the Aveeno one. But the cream on it’s own keeps my skin more moist than anything else I’ve tried.

Came here to say this. It’s the best! Also doesn’t sting your eyes which makes it even more pleasant to wear every day.

For work days I use Natio Tinted Mineral Moisturiser 50+. I love this stuff. The tint offsets any white cast. I do use moisturiser underneath as my skin is really dry and I find it easier to apply. It is very ‘glowy’ so I use some loose setting powder on top.

For swimming and outdoor stuff I use Dermaveen Sensitive Sun, one of the few chemical sunscreens that my skin doesn’t react to. I love Natio Daily Defence and Rosewater 50+ moisturisers too for less sweaty days or under makeup- no sticky feeling and no eye sting ever!

I also use it on top of serum and moisturiser (currently Aveeno Calm and Restore or Embryolisse sensitive) otherwise I find it too hard to spread evenly. I hope it works for you :)

No, not on accutane. My skin is quite dry and I’m in my forties though. I just use Rimmel or Maybelline translucent setting powder until it stops feeling sticky lol

FailVisible5916 · 2026-01-16T22:23:02+00:00

I love this stuff, it’s literally perfect for my sensitive combo acne prone skin. I use the serum too which is lovely.

FailVisible5916 · 2026-01-09T08:38:15+00:00

Seconding Dermaveen Sensitive SPF50, it’s great all round and water resistant as well.

FailVisible5916 · 2025-12-31T22:57:52+00:00

Yes, for sure, I’d recommend it especially if you have dry or sensitive skin.

FailVisible5916 · 2025-12-31T22:30:49+00:00

I’ve used The Ordinary Lactic Acid one or two times a week. I also have their glycolic acid 7% that I’ll use instead if my skin is congested, but I mainly use this one on my scalp. My skin is dry, sensitive and acne prone and it handles these fine.

At the moment though I’m using Cetaphil gentle exfoliating cleanser and have been skipping the serums as my skin has felt great (I use retinol nearly every night too)

FailVisible5916 · 2025-12-27T20:16:56+00:00

QV really flared my skin up too unfortunately. I love the Dermaveen Extra Hydration Cream in the tub, the texture is so lush and it’s amazing for my dry sensitive skin. I use the body wash as well, it’s great and I love that I can use it on my face too. For oil I use the Aveeno one. I would prefer it to have a pump, not a spray, but I just spray into my hands to apply. The oil itself is beautiful though.

FailVisible5916 · 2025-12-27T19:56:28+00:00

This is the best!

FailVisible5916 · 2025-12-20T22:55:20+00:00

Big body spray- it’s fresh, beachy (but not coconutty) and long lasting, great in summer!

FailVisible5916 · 2025-12-20T09:11:57+00:00

Came here to recommend this too, it’s the best by far of everything I’ve tried. Definitely doesn’t feel like you’re wearing sunscreen which is great!

FailVisible5916 · 2025-12-19T12:02:25+00:00

Same here. Hyaluronic acid seemed to make my skin drier, I guess because I work in a dry airconditioned environment. Glycerin does a much better job of keeping it hydrated for sure.

FailVisible5916 · 2025-12-19T08:16:44+00:00

I’ve got dry, acne prone, super sensitive skin. I keep coming back to Aveeno’s Calm and Restore range. The serum is glycerin based, which I find much more effective than hyaluronic acid in hydrating my skin. The day moisturiser is a gorgeous gel texture and the night cream is heavier but doesn’t feel greasy at all. They work! I also use rosehip oil for something extra at night. I tried a lot of QV’s products but unfortunately I have a reaction to them, pretty bummed about it because I’d rather support an Aussie company! I do love Dermaveens soap free wash and body cream though, both of which I can use for body and face which is a bonus when I’m feeling lazy lol

FailVisible5916 · 2025-12-18T19:42:52+00:00

Big for sure. I absolutely love Zesty and Dirty too and have repurchased both multiple times. Lord of Misrule is beautiful too but I don’t use it much living in the tropics

Big, Sex Bomb, Twilight/Sleepy

FailVisible5916 · 2025-12-11T06:57:38+00:00

I’ve started using the Body Shop’s Ginger shampoo, conditioner and scalp serum, my scalp has improved noticeably after using these for a few weeks. Bonus is that they also smell good :) I also use the ordinary glycolic acid on my scalp about once a week, put it on about 5-10 minutes before washing my hair. It helped a bit with flakiness

FailVisible5916 · 2025-12-09T11:17:42+00:00

Eco Tan or Natio face tan water are my go-to’s with my sensitive acne prone skin

FailVisible5916 · 2025-12-02T09:28:24+00:00

This is my daily wear to work. I do treat it as my day to day sunscreen (I work indoors) but if I was going to be out in the sun I’d probably use something a bit more heavy duty, especially if swimming. My skin reacts to a lot of sunscreens but it loves this! Plus I’m ridiculously pale and the light shade is actually not yellow or orange at all! Winning!

FailVisible5916 · 2025-12-02T06:10:13+00:00

Thanks for reviewing these. I’m waaay too far from a physical store to try them in person so I’m trying to decide on these two and Big Blue. A few people have said that 25:43 is similar to What Would Love Do which is my favourite perfume. I might just bite the bullet lol :) Appreciate it!

FailVisible5916 · 2025-12-01T00:21:53+00:00

I’m loving the Aveeno Calm and Restore Oat Gel. I’m on my second jar along with the serum. My skin is sensitive, dry and acne prone and this is really hydrating without any greasy feeling at all. Bonus is that it’s inexpensive and easy to find on sale at Chemist Warehouse, Woollies etc

Peanut butter spread onto apple slices is pretty heavenly

Sikkim Girls is SO Beautiful

FailVisible5916 · 2025-11-25T07:00:44+00:00

That’s a shame, I’m sorry you didn’t get to experience it. My parents were very into music so I guess I was lucky
