Ever since we learned of former Love Islander Molly-Mae Hague's favourite budget moisturiser, it's been firmly on our radar. We first spotted the face cream last year on Molly-Mae's YouTube channel in a vlog titled 'Organising My Life | Wardrobe And Bathroom Declutter ✨', where the star comes across the moisturiser while tidying her bathroom cupboards.
However, just last week, Molly-Mae took to praising her go-to moisturiser again on her Instagram stories. 'I feel like we as a collective started a bit of a craze with this product, like it went a bit viral,' she shared to followers. 'I've loved this product for ages now, and I think it's such an incredibly, beautifully textured moisturiser. It feels very high-end.'
Despite being a Love Island megastar, it appears the influencer is still a fan of affordable brands, with products such as the L'Oreal Tinted Serum and Aveeno Body Oil Spray gracing her beauty bag. One thing is for certain: when Molly-Mae Hague recommends a beauty product, we're definitely taking notes.
The same goes for her 'insane' moisturiser that's now been reduced to just £6.52 in Amazon's Spring Sale. The celebrity-favourite cream has since amassed thousands of Amazon reviews, praising its soothing, refreshing and 'magical' properties. Especially on dry, sensitive skin types.
So, what is the mysterious moisturiser that Molly-Mae can't get enough of? The Aveeno Face Calm + Restore Oat Gel Moisturiser, which the television personality has excitedly recommended to fans on more than one occasion.
She first revealed in her YouTube vlog, 'This is for my girlies that want a more affordable product... Not sponsored, but it's fricking insane.' Molly-Mae told followers that she used this as a base before applying her foundation and it was 'incredible,' giving her 'glass skin vibes.'
The praise continued on her Instagram stories last week, where she told fans, 'I feel like some of you will know how much I love the Aveeno Oat Gel Moisturiser... You really don't need a lot of this moisturiser. A little bit goes a long way. Even there... look at the consistency of that product. It almost looks like a face mask.'
The fast-absorbing moisturiser leaves you with a dewy, spa-like glow, making short work of stubborn dry patches and instantly delivering some much-needed hydration with its gel-like formula.

Enriched with prebiotic oat and calming feverfew to help nourish the skin’s moisture barrier, soothe and calm the skin, the Aveeno Calm + Restore Oat Gel Moisturiser has been praised by Molly-Mae Hague and customers alike. Dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic, and fragrance-free, your skin will feel intensely nourished and moisturised from first use.
Thousands of reviews have even hailed it as an affordable alternative to Tacha's Dewy Cream, £67, and Molly-Mae couldn't agree more. In her vlog, she states, 'If you did want something a little bit similar to The Dewy Skin Cream but you don't want to fork out for it... It's called the Aveeno Calm + Restore Oat Gel Moisturiser.'
As far as comparisons go, Aveeno's cream has a more lightweight consistency than the Tacha cream. Tatcha's does contain more anti-ageing ingredients, but when it comes to strengthening the skin's barrier and providing plenty of glowy hydration, both creams are supposedly pretty similar.
If you're looking for glass skin like Molly-Mae Hague's, then why not give the highly-rated cream a go while it's on offer? For under £7, the Aveeno Face Calm + Restore Oat Gel Moisturiser is one that we just can't resist.
