Exclamation Moisturizer

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good moisturizer? I want something that wont clog my pores and that wont totally irritate my skin. I'm super sensitive. I've tried Bath & Body works, and Olay.

(sorry if this was already posted)

I'm actually a fan of Olay's Sensitive Skin formula. I use the regular,too, but sometimes it make my face a little irritated.

Hi. You could try Neutrogena Oil Free Moisturizer. That one seems to be a good one and was recommended by my derm. I used it for a while, but switched recently to Clinique Redness Relief and that is working for me as well. I am very very oily, so I dont need much extra moisture.

Is your skin dry, normal, combo or oily? If you are normal, combo or oily I would stick with oil-free lotions. If you are dry I would go with creams.

Hope that helps.

I like the facewash and moisturizer called Velocity. You can only get it from MaryKay I believe.

I use Murad products. For the daytime I use Murad's Skin Perfecting Lotion, and for the evening I use Murad's Resurgence collection for hormonally changing skin. Works great, unlike other products aimed to help with acne that I have tried. It doesn't dry my skin out and I have noticed less breakouts.

I love the Neutrogena products. Currently I'm using the Night Firming Cream. I put on a thin layer before bed, by morning, it's all absorbed.

At the moment I'm using an Almay daily moisturizer for oily skin with meadowsweet. It's lovely and light and non-greasy, sinks in straight away and does its job

I swear by Cetaphil moisturizer. It has NO fragrance, colors, etc and is hypoallergenic.

I have acne prone skin that is oily in spots and very dry in spots, and still use the Cetaphil. It does great because it isn't greasy, but it does thoroughly moisturize without causing me to look even more oily.

I buy the generic at WalMart.

I should mention that Cetaphil is what was recommended to me by my dermatologist back in 1998 when I was having skin problems. I had tried many, many brands that were either greasy, irritating to my skin, or caused break outs. I was so thankful to try the Cetaphil.

I just started using Dr. Brandt's Poreless Moisturizer. I love it! You can buy it from sephora. Ask them for a sample you can try first. I tried the sample for 2 days (it lasted a week) and I was hooked!

I have also used Murad for a few years and had great success with that, but the change in product has showed great results.

When I used to have really dry skin, I actually used Johnson and Johnson 24 hour moisturizer. It is not made specifically for your face, but one day I was out of my face moisturizer and tried it and it made my skin feel so good, moisturized it without making my skin oily. However, my skin is now pretty oily and I've started getting some acne, so I started using Clean and Clear acne control kit, it includes an acne moisturizer, it makes my skin feel amazing! It has not only made my pores smaller, and gotten rid of all of my acne, but it seems to regulate my skin so I don't have oily areas!
