Moisturizer recommendation

I have been using a million different moisturizers and can't seem to find one i'm happy w/
I'm 27, so i'm starting to be concerned about wrinkles and such, but I break out if I use something heavy.

Anybody have a good moisturizer for comb/oily skin that they absolutely love? Let me know!
Thanks.

YES!! After my 80,000 makeup trials I actually found two that I love. One is from Dermalogica, you have to buy it from a salon or Sheseido moisturizer and their separate cream for around the eyes!!! The Dermalogica system also has a clay cleanser and toner and moisturizer. I have not tried the Sheseido cleaner but the moisturizer is incredible. I have skin that becomes oily around the T zone and this does not make me feel oily at all, it absorbs really quickly into your skin. It is a little more expensive than the stuff you would buy at CVS etc but I think well worth it!!!!

Have you tried Kiehl's yet? I am a big fan. It is not too heavy and soaks right into the skin.

I have found the Prada skincare line to be wonderful. I have very sensitive skin that is dry, and so far, so good. It's pricey, but it's worth it.

Re: Moisturizer recommendation

I also had trouble finding a good moisturizer but unlike yourself, I have extremely dry and sensitive skin. I used to use oil of Olay but that just wasn't cutting it. When I was in Bloomie's one day I stopped at the Lancome counter and the saleswoman tried all different types of make up, toners, and moisturizers on me. She really took her time and helped me out. She fit me with the perfect mosturizer for my skin type and Im hooked on it now. I'm positive that they will have the perfect moisturizer for your skin type as well. Go and let them pamper you for a little hehe, it's free anyway and I'm sure you'll leave with a great moisturizer!...Goodluck

Cliniques dramatically different moisturizer is the best!

Re: Moisturizer recommendation

I also use the Clinique dramatically different moisturizer - good and not too expensive. When my skin is drier I use Clinique Moisture Surge

Re: Moisturizer recommendation

I've used Clinique dramatically different before, felt it cleared up my skin but then it got bad again!!!
Do i need to use it longer???
Right now i'm using clear skin neutrogena healthy skin, which used to work for me but feel it's drying me out now.
Thanks for the input, keep it coming!

P.S. I also use Differin, prescription gel for my sometimes acne which is starting to dry me out, too.

Re: Moisturizer recommendation

I can only use Cetaphil moisturizing lotion (not cream). Everything else makes me look like one huge zit.

Re: Moisturizer recommendation

I second Kiehl's. Try their Ultra Facial moisturizer. If you tell them about your skin they will send you free samples.

Re: Moisturizer recommendation

hi starhead- in reference to your question, i use the ultra facial moisturizer. if you go to a counter, they usually will give you samples. i went to kiehls in the city and they are really helpful and they give you stuff to try.

Re: Moisturizer recommendation

I just ordered some stuff from kiehls, the ultra facial moisturizer in the small bottle. i've used their products before and they're good.
thanks for the recommendations - I'll let you know how it goes!

Re: Moisturizer recommendation

I use Cetaphil facial moiturizer for my face and the Cetaphil body cream for body. You can get them at any drug store and came recommended by my dermatologist for my dry skin that also breaks out.
I've been very happy with it.

Re: Moisturizer recommendation

I've tried tons of moisturizers as I have combination skin....from Clinique to Lancome....

Right now I've been using Oil of Olay Total Effects with SPF AND its awesome! It easily absorbs into the skin, has a great smell and is not greasy....best of all it's only 20 bucks, found in the drugstores....
