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.

oily
acne prone
sensitive skin

    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

    I also have trouble finding a moisturizer that works for my face because my skin is not dry at all, a little oily. These days I have been using Avene Cleanance Lotion (I bought a couple because they said they are changing the formula). I get it (in Canada) at London Drugs or any other pharmacy that has a skin care section. Also my skin can be sensitive. Avene is for sensitive or problem skin. Does anyone reccomend a face spf for oily skin.

    Check out The Body Shop Tea Tree skin care line. It's totally affordable and some kind of wonderful. And if you're less acne-prone with less sensitive skin like me, the Seaweed line is pretty stellar as well. I've tried an awful lot of different skin care lines, from Philosophy to LUSH and I keep coming back to The Body Shop.

    I have super sensitive skin prone to breakouts so had pretty much stayed away because they would make me break out, but as I'm aging I know I have to moisturize to keep my skin nice and supple. About a year ago I started using Hyaluronic Acid Beauty cream which I ordered from Puritan's Pride. I use it right after washing my face in the morning alone or under makeup. Once dry it leaves your skin super soft and velvety without any greasy residue and it doesn't irritate my skin or make me break out. I am 50 years old and I have to say that my skin is looking pretty darn good and I credit part of it to this nice moisturizer as well as having used Irish Spring Aloe soap for the past 14 years and St. Ives Medicated Apricot scrub 3 times a week for at least the last ten! :smile:

    What's your price range? I had a sample of Yes to Tomatoes moisturizer and liked it, but I don't know what size bottle it comes in, and it's a little on the pricy side for drugstore brands. The Clinique suggestion is also a good one. I don't have a ton of recs for a daytime moisturizer for oily, acne-prone skin in a lower price range though, because I'm very fair and need spf in all my daytime products and have been using some kinda pricy stuff that's not available in the US (LaRoche-Posay's Anthelios XL line).

    On place to try is Paula's Choice, which sells her line of skincare products but also has pages and pages of reviews of other products. She has a few SPF moisturizers for combination/oily skin that come in in decently large sizes - I've used and liked the "Skin-Balancing Oil-Free Moisturizer with SPF 30". You can find it pretty easily by doing an internet search, and I think they are currently having a 15%-off promo. It's unfortunately only available by mail order, though.

    I love estee lauder's daywear. The kind on the pump. It smells awesome, is cooling, and there's spf in it. I have skin like yours.
