When it comes to a winter coat, nothing will quite beat a teddy coat for keeping you warm and cosy when the temperatures drop. Although they’re sometimes made from a more fleece-like material, other teddy coats are made from an ultra-soft and fluffy plush fabric that feels simultaneously like you’re being swaddled in a blanket and embracing a big cuddly toy, and it’s the latter material that’s got New Look shoppers raving about their latest purchase.The Teddy Long Coat, £35 here (was £64.99), has been praised for how warm and cosy it is, with one shopper saying: “Excellent value, really warm, cosy and like a hug.” The fluffy oversized coat is the perfect pick for those bitterly cold winter days when all you want is to still be at home under the duvet but adult life dictates you must leave the house.
Shoppers find a great alternative to Clinique Moisture Surge in Neutrogena's £9 moisturiser
18.12.2023 - 11:11 / ok.co.uk
If you're looking for an effective new face cream this winter that won't break the bank then read on, as shoppers think they've found a great value option that's as good as pricier alternatives. For years Boots shoppers have been raving about Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturiser – it usually costs £13.99 for a 50ml pot but it currently has a third off on the Boots website, taking it down to £9.33.
Designed to hydrate all skin types, and is even suitable for sensitive complexions, this Neutrogena face cream has recently been reformulated to pack in 20% more hyaluronic acid, plus amino acids and electrolytes for an even deeper hydration. However its 'water-gel', oil-free formula means it's super lightweight on the skin and quickly absorbed – this texture makes it especially good for oily or combination skin types, which still need hydration.
Hydro Boost Moisturiser has received hundreds of five star reviews online since it launched, with many shoppers comparing it to another bestselling face cream: Clinique Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator.
This iconic Clinique product is also oil-free, high in hyaluronic acid and with a gel-cream consistency – but priced at £42 for a 50ml tub, is considerably more expensive. Spotting the similarities between the two, one happy customer wrote on the Boots website: "Very hydrating, sinks quickly into the skin, almost a dupe for Clinique Moisture Surge." Another person commented: "I started using this when it launched as a replacement for Clinique Moisture Surge and I haven’t looked back.
