As freezing temperatures grip the nation, a unique and affordable skincare solution found on the shelves of Boots is capturing shoppers' attention. The product in question isn't derived from complex chemicals, but from ingredients you might find on your breakfast plate.
A Cream Born in the Kitchen Cupboard
The Aveeno Daily Moisturising Yoghurt Body Cream, priced at £8.49 for a 300ml tube, is formulated with both prebiotic colloidal oatmeal and probiotic Greek yoghurt. This combination moves beyond a simple gimmick, as the cream is officially recommended by dermatologists (skin doctors).
Aveeno states the formula is clinically proven to moisturise normal to dry skin for an impressive up to 48 hours. The brand claims it works by improving the skin's natural balance, leading to healthier-looking and more resilient skin.
Shoppers Confirm the Skin-Transforming Results
Customer reviews strongly support the manufacturer's claims. One impressed shopper described the cream as "amazing," noting its rich texture that absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky or greasy residue. They highlighted its gentleness for sensitive skin and its pleasant, subtle scent.
"I've been using this product for a little over a week now, and wow...my skin has never felt so soft," another user agreed, praising the cream's quick absorption and lovely fragrance.
However, the scent does not please everyone. A minority of reviewers have noted that the apricot and honey fragrance is quite strong, which could be a drawback for those with fragrance sensitivities or personal preference.
Alternative Options for Sensitive Skin
For shoppers seeking fragrance-free or gentler alternatives, the market offers several choices. The classic E45 cream, renowned for its soft and gentle formulation, is available for £7.29 for 350g.
Another option is the Hello Klean Anti-Dryness Body Cream, though it comes at a higher price point of £20. This product also promises to calm the skin and reduce redness associated with dryness.
Ultimately, the Aveeno yoghurt cream stands out as a doctor-recommended, budget-friendly option that leverages natural food-grade ingredients to combat the harsh effects of winter on the skin.
