hippetyhop Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 With the summer season finally here and my a/c on full blast, my face is becoming increasingly dry. I have been using Ponds moisturizer, but it isn't doing much to help. I don't want to use a moisturizer that makes it too oily either. Any suggestions on moisturizers? I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on a moisturizer either. Link to post Share on other sites

Emilia Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Any suggestions on moisturizers? I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on a moisturizer either. Mine is an expensive one because I don't like oily/greasy creams. I think all the cheap ones are oily though Link to post Share on other sites
USMCHokie Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I respectfully withdraw. Though I've been happy with Jack Black and Kiehls products for the guys. Link to post Share on other sites

Eggplant Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 neutrogena? Link to post Share on other sites
Emilia Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Which moisturizer do you use? Dermalogica Active Moist. Have to get some more, you've just reminded me. I have oily skin which is good for delaying ageing but bad for congestion and I can get spots from your run-of-the-mill cheap greasy stuff. Dermalogica is water based and it's been the best for me personally over the years. Link to post Share on other sites

Dermalogica is water based and it's been the best for me personally over the years. I looked online and the price isn't that bad. Do you buy it from an online store, or can you get it OTC someplace? For a first time use, I would prefer OTC as it'll be easier to return if it doesn't work well. Link to post Share on other sites

For a first time use, I would prefer OTC as it'll be easier to return if it doesn't work well. I go to my regular beautician where I get my facials (see Hokie, I used the word 'facial'), she knows my skin very well, I've been going there for years. Have also tried Karen Herzog products but Dermalogica works best so far. Not sure whether these guys would take a product back if opened but that's never been an issue for me. It's not really cheaper on ebay so I just buy it at the beautician's. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on a moisturizer either. What state do you live in? It's so humid here I don't even wear moisturizer and my skin is soft. I know when I lived in CA my skin was dry all the time, just like the weather. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
pink_sugar Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I am also looking into handmade moisturizers and cleansers these days to avoid all the chemicals. The day lotion I use has spf 15. Link to post Share on other sites
spiderowl Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Olay, just their standard stuff. I've used it for years and have had lots of compliments on how young my skin looks. Link to post Share on other sites
