This Now £5 Moisturiser Is One Of The Best I’ve Tried — And It’s The Perfect Dupe For A Luxury Favourite

Thanks to Black Friday, my holy grail has never been more affordable.

I've always been a firm believer that you should splurge on transformative serums and hard-working chemical exfoliants and scrimp on cleansers and moisturisers. A lightweight emollient proving you don't need to break the bank for excellent results is the celeb-loved Aveeno Oat Moisturiser, £5.82. Despite its generous price point, it's crammed with soothing, natural ingredients and in turn, has been rated five stars by thousands of customers. It's even been touted as an 'insane' dupe for Tatcha's cult Dewy Cream by Molly-Mae Hague.

I have been religiously reaching for the Aveeno Oat Moisturiser throughout the year as I adore its lightweight and gel-like consistency which melts into the skin like butter. It's non-fragranced, instantly soothing and acts like a glug of water for thirsty, dehydrated skin. Its impressively simple ingredients list ensures it's the perfect companion for sensitive skin. Thanks to its gel-like formula, I would recommend it most for those with combination/oily skin who still need a slather of hydration now the weather has officially turned.

Don't just take my word for it, Love Island veteran Molly-Mae Hague is also a huge fan of the affordable moisturiser telling fans how it's a dupe for Tatcha's The Dewy Cream.

I can confirm that the Aveeno moisturiser is very similar to the Tatcha Dewy Cream when comparing their lightly whipped textures and the instant dew effect it gives. Tatcha's iteration does contain more anti-ageing ingredients that will help improve your skin's texture over time, however, when it comes to strengthening the skin's barrier and providing plenty of nourishment, both creams are pretty much on par.
