Sorry to be a pain, but someone on here mentioned last week a face cream from Mercandona which was supposed to be very good.. I can't find the thread it was on but if anyone can remember posting about a cheap but really good face cream from mercadona then can you give me another reminder as I am off back to Britain next week and would like to take some home. Thanks Jan xx

I don't know the name but one recommended by a lot of people is a facecream which has something to do with snails ... I know, horrid thought, snail slime on your face UGH ... I didn't try it as I swear by Nivea, used it all my life and won't use any other facecream. Mercadonna sell it and I was offered to try a sample but declined.

I seem to remember it was Olive Oil based.

Yes, that one was talked about but it is a body cream not a face cream, I do not remember a face cream being mentioned but I probably missed it so ignore me.

I think the olive oil body cream is one of those which was withdrawn, anyway


doris - the Mercadona own brand Deliphy range of face creams is good & inexpensive, too

I've used them ever since we came here & wouldn't go back to the expensve stuff I used to use in the UK

Thanks Lynnxa... I believe that's the one that was mentioned... I just hope it's not over 100ml or I'm going to have to send myself some through the post... I didn't bring hold luggage this time,

lynnxa

they all come in 100cc jars, so you should be fine

It might have been me when we were talking about wasting money on cosmetics? I use Mercadona factor 30 moisturiser which is less than 5€ and has a nice light non-oily texture.

Rosemary

Sounds like a result.

If you are going back to the UK M&S now do a nice range. Their aloe vera body cream is only £1 as is the bath foam.

Dick Dasterdly

It's cheaper still squeezed straight from the plant in the garden.

unfortunately the closest M&S to us has now closed down... and Dick... I wouldn't know how to grow Aloe Vera.. maybe when we come to live in Spain you can give me some gardening tips... so Mercadona it is then.

Never tried it, but I believe the stuff, or ingredient, is called baba de caracol. It's supposed to erase scars, freckles, clean windows (only kidding), etc. Something to do with enzymes...
