Thousands of Amazon shoppers have claimed they ‘can’t live without’ a £6.49 ‘hydrating’ moisturiser that’s said to ‘instantly leave skin glowing.’

The £6.49 L'Oreal Paris Hydra Genius Hyaluronic Acid Plus Aloe Liquid Hydrating Moisturiser has received a strong 4.6 out of five rating on Amazon, and over 12,000 five-star reviews from delighted customers who call it ‘effective’ and ‘affordable’ - what’s not to love!

According to L’Oreal, the moisturiser which is inspired by Asian skincare, “penetrates deeply into the skin for a healthy-looking glow that lasts up to 72 hours.” L'Oreal claim the ‘water-like texture’ absorbs immediately, reinvigorates the skin and instantly locks in moisture.

The budget-friendly beauty buy contains hyaluronic acid and aloe water

The formula is enriched with aloe water and everyone’s favourite ingredient for reducing wrinkles and fine lines - hyaluronic acid.

With plenty of rave reviews, it’s not hard to see why the moisturiser is so popular amongst skincare fans, with one shopper saying: “I love it. Light and refreshing. Absorbs well and leaves skin lovely and soft. Has a nice smell. Not greasy at all. Best water based moisturiser I've used.”

A second added: “Fantastic product as a primer and moisturiser. Needs just a few drops so it will last. Leaves skin feeling fresh, clean and hydrated. First time I used it I was surprised how smooth my foundation went and stayed on all day! Smells so fresh I kept wanting to apply it. This is my go to skincare product from now on and recommend without doubt.”

While a third wrote: “I have been looking for a good moisturiser for combination skin for some time now, however, I didn't want to overpay and buy something that doesn't work. Then I came across this moisturiser from L'Oreal and honestly it's been a game changer. Not only is it a great moisturiser and leaves your skin looking nice and fresh, but I feel like it has also helped me with managing my breakouts and skin texture.”

Not everyone was impressed though, as one customer said: "At first it was really moisturising, but after a while it became sticky and rubbed off my skin. I have to use larger quantities when applying or it will dry up in seconds."

If your preference is a cream rather than a gel moisturiser, this Weleda Skin Food Moisturiser for Dry and Rough Skin may be the perfect pick for you. Priced at just £8.95, it’s not only super affordable but loved by celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Victoria Beckham - so if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for us!
