I LOVE/D proactiv's green tea moisturizer, and I've bought it on amazon before. But I'm looking for something more than one ounce, and maybe something tailored to my skin. I've been so desperate that I'm using vaseline spray n go :/. I'd LOVE something feather light and cooling as well.

    I just use Aveeno daily moisterizer, but I don't put it across my nose or the cheek area under the eyes.

    Do you guys have Boots? I really like their No 7 protect and perfect serum - no breakouts since using it, couple of years now.

    I use coconut oil. I know it sounds strange, but it works wonderfully. You can use it on your hair, too. It makes it shiny and soft. There are many videos on youtube about using coconut oil as a moisturizer. Not sure if this helps you. Hope you find something. :)

    Target has started carrying Boots No. 7 (I saw it the other night). I use Aveeno Ultra Calming Daily Moisturizer (4oz for about $15) and love it, it's the only thing I have been able to use that doesn't make my skin turn scarlet with irritation.

    My goodness, there are sooooo many to choose from. Go to the Sephora website and fill out the questionnaire and they will recommend from there.

    Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. It's lightweight, oil-free, great for oily to acne-prone skin, and the majority of Clinique's products are really good for sensitive skin. I worked in cosmetics for roughly 14 years (I was a Counter Manager for Elizabeth Arden and Merle Norman. If in doubt, I sent them to Clinique. I'd rather my customers have something that would truly help them, than just make a dollar.

    I really love omorovicza.. why type of moisturiser do you want... its bit of a funny one do you got light for hot days or a slightly heavier winter? have you for oily combination or dry skin... I focus on rejuvenation to keep my skin fresh something with gentle but active enzymes

    hmmz reread your post

    Omorovicza - elemental emulsion is ultra light

    for someone with acne prone skin try

    Omorovicza - Balancing moisturiser

    Although not a lady- a lot of women I know sister, mother etc. use Kiss My Face products. They say it's the bomb.

    SkinLab Daily Moisturizer is working like a dream for me. I'm based in the UK and have to keep ordering it from the US, but it is so worth it.

    ^^ second for Clinique's Moisturizing Gel - the gel is for oily or oily-combination skin, acne prone skin. It's all I've been using for years now with the rest of the Clinique cleanser line up and I swear by it. Worth the investment as I only buy twice a year during free gift time, so get some new makeup too!! :love: Sometimes I still get breakouts during high stress times but this has really been a regimen I swear by, and just added the Olay facial brush too!

    Origins - they have several that I love... Mega bright is really good and oil free.

    Also - I use coconut oil also - not daily but 2-3 times a week at night.

    this is not a smart rec for someone that has problem skin . coconut oil is very comedogenic and can destroy someones skin

    OP if you try coconut oil make sure its organic cold pressed virgin coconut oil and you test it out on a small area of your skin - also use a VERY SMALL AMOUNT do not saturate your face so its dripping in oil

    same goes for all other oils people suggest
