Mary Kay Timewise Moisturizer is wonderful. 

I started to use Origins organic moisturizer when I entered my 50's.  It is amazing, better than the other name brands.  It sinks in, smells nice and NEVER causes any breakouts.  It is about 42 dollars for a bottle, but a little goes a long way, and the bottles are recycled so they don't clog up the trash.

Mary Kay makes a great moisturizer for oily or combination oily skin that is really good.  I've used it for a long time and love it.

Not a "Commercial Break", but info to try to be helpful.  I have to add my support to the others for Mary Kay products daily moisturizers and ease of shopping 24/7 on line.  At 61 I need all the help I can get!

As hot as it has been in San Antonio this summer with over 50+ days over 100 degrees a daily mositurizer has been a necessity.  I have to agree the MK Timewise Moisture is a great one that does not feel greasy and sinks right in.  One of the reasons I started my own MK business.  I am my own best customer.  Ha! 

Another new great product that just became available and will compliment the positive effects of a good moisturizer is Timewise Replinishing Serum +C which gives collagen a boost.  An in-depth consumer study was conducted to see what benefits women would see after using the product----89%  said their skin looked lifted and more resilient / 86%  said their skin looked more toned / 79%  said their skin looked younger / 90%  said their skin looked enhanced.  I jsut started mine and hope to see the beginning of good results over the next several weeks.

I hope you find the right product for you.

Renew by Melaleuca; passed two double-blind studies; came out on top of Eucerin on all counts!  Happy to provide more info, details, etc.  Just say the word!  Good luck!

I love Mary Kay's moisturizers, formulated for different skin types.

Check out my website: www.marykay.com/molson4

i use revitalift from loreal otc in most drug stores...i love it. Ive used it for years

N. V. Perricone products are the best.  He is a dermatologist and his products are anti-aging.  They cost more but are worth it.  I try and get them only on sale through the website or at Sephora.  I won't use anything else now.

try dove deep moisture facial lotion.

I really like the Regenerist Serum by Olay.  It soaks right in and I noticed the effects right away.

hi, new to this site.  I found using natural soap bars vs. store bought brands make a difference for less dry skin. Natural soap bars do not have all that chemical stuff in it.  My father-in-law makes soap bars from his goats milk.  Now don't laugh but I use Huggies Natural Care Lotion.  (huggiesbabynetwork.com) i am all into being cost effective and price is right.

P:S  if interested in the soap bars I can give u my Father-in-Law's website.

Giovanni "Hydrate" body lotion. I'm an esthetician and I was given this product by my daughter for Mother's Day. I was surprised at it's quick absorption and it's organic ingredients. They're not that expensive either, I found the product line at Walmart!

I haven't read all the responses but I find that "Aveeno" works great!

beyond the shadow of a doubt...dc100 from Devoted Creations.  It is offered by a tanning lotion manufacturer in Florida...Devoted Creations.  It is a little pricy, but the bottle is designed to last a year and it works better than anything I have EVER used.

Ladies, please be careful with the products you use!  Many OTC's contain formaldehyde as a preservative.  Check out yours at cosmeticsinfo.com.  Good luck staying young looking all without a greasy, unsafe lotion!  They are out there!

Find a local Mary Kay consultant.  I did three years ago, and haven't used anything else (after 18 other brands in the previous 7 years - drugstore, dept. store, & high end.)  100% money back guarantee that you'll like it.  You can return it - even empty - and definitely return it if you don't like it!  It 'sinks right in and doesn't feel greasy'!  At 54, with very dry skin, my skin has definitely improved.

I have tried all types of moisturizers, expensive and not so, I think neutragena (?) is the best moisturizer I've found. Iuse the one with sunscreen

Absolutely Jane! mary Kay cosmetics makes a wonderful moisturizer. and it comes in two formulas, one for oily skin and one for dry to normal skin. I recommend it whole heartedly . Been using for many years.And I have oily skin!

BeautiControl, age and skin type specific

Look up Hairknowlogy.com

Check out the "Earthmuffin" skin care line.

The green Tea night creme is exceptional. The chemist that put this together formulated it for skin over 50.

Toxin free, and it works. The line also carries a body Yogurt that is simply dreamy.

I guess if I had it to do over again I would have paid more attention to skincare than makeup.

The Jane Iredale makup is the best I have used, does not look like makeup. Nordstoms is carrying that line.

It is touted as skincare with colour. I love to have makeovers at a dept store.

Cheers

I've been using Clinique for a few years now and really like the face moisturizer.  Not sure what it's called but it's the yellow one in their case.  The eye cream is excellent too.

The best I ever tried is NIVEA AGE DEFYING MOISTERIZER!  Under $6 at WalMart!  I tried so many moisterizers and wasn't happy until this one...it works WONDERS!  Soaks right in...not feeling greasy and even takes away the "scaley" look on my arms. leaving them immediately smooth and younger looking. Its amazing!  I tried other Nivea creams but they aren't like this one. It's in a blue plastic bottle with white lettering. It says NIVEA BODY on the bottle but its so good I even have used it on my face before when I ran out of face cream.  Works great everywhere!  I hope you give it a try!  Laura Rose ( :

I love this line. Hope this helps.

Anything in the AVON ANEW line, the All-in-One alphahydroxy cream with a sunscreen is the most bang for your buck.  I started using the original cream when it first came out in the early 90's and have loved it ever since, especially since the scent has been improved!  I love the whole ANEW line and originally  started selling just to support my "habit"!!

Arbonne is the only way to go.  It is has a day cream which is a protector and night cream which is a corrector.  It has 9 essential ingredients which is botanically based, never tested on animals, formulated without dyes and without mineral oil.  This company is made in the US but formulated in Switzerland. 

I love the Marykay Timewise moisturizer. I don't notice I have it within seconds of applying it.

Curel has been my favorite for approx 15 years. Affordable, easy to find too. Leaves skin soft until next bath or hand washing, and never sticky or oily. Love it for my legs which tend to be dry in winter. It lasts from one shower to the next. As far as facial moisturizers go, I really don't have a favy and buy what's on sale usually. Avon always has good ones.

Burt's Bees daily facial moisturizer works great.  It's not greasy or anything like that, and it makes your skin feel supple and nourished.  Try it, and let me know what you think.

Neutrogena makes a nice line. When I was working I would purchase Estee Lauder but now that I am not @ 59yrs. old I found Neutrogena Agless Intensives Deep Wringle Moisture does the trick for me! Lorraine :-)

BeautiControl all the way!  I was an avid Mary Kay user for years,  but was convinced to try BC....LOVE IT!!! They have a wonderful platinum plus line that is awesome and does not make your skin feel oily.  I love their skin profie, it really does help with the products you need to use!  Check it out at www.beautipage.com/jonee

Olay's Hydrating Creme for Sensitive skin is GREAT!!!!  Get it at Wal-Mart or drugstores.  LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

www.ardysslife.com/njciticoutur GREAT moisturizer

Hi Jane.  I love Mary Kay Enriched moisturizer, Clinique and also Visible Difference by Elizabeth Arden.  If you want something really light, Oil of Olay is light. 

I spend about half my time in Lake Tahoe, it's about 6000' and very dry.  I find that Olay products give me the moisture I need.  I tried many different products in that line and use about 5 of them consistently.  But I do think that some products work better for different types of skin than others.

My sister sent me some from Mary Kay that is wonderful.  I love it

Avon has a great moisturizer Skin So Soft Signature Silk Ultra Moisturizing Body lotion. I love it, a little hard to squeeze out, but it is great, I've tried everything!!

I use vaseline to remove makeup and Witch Hazel as an astringent.  Once clean and dry, I pat my face with cold water and let it air dry.  Works for me.  Oh, Olive Oil is a good idea if you can stay out of the sun -- it will definitely cause sunburn and permanent discoloration.

Jane, I would suggest staying with serums or light fluid type products.  I  recommend trying Jan Marini's Age Intervention Serum. ( It also comes in a cream for those who have dry skin) This product boost the skin's ability to repair damage and fight inflammatory responses, that contribute to the visible signs of aging.  As a reminder, it is not only what is in a product, but also how it is formualted that effects the efficacy of products.  I  use this product personally and also use/sell this product in my clinical skin care business.  You can read more by going to the website.... www.janmarini.com.  I hope this helps you in your search for a quality skin care product.  Best regards, M. Snyder

I sure can Jane.  I have been using Nivea Q10..it mosturizes really well and sinks right in..works great for me and I have been able to purchase it of under $10.00 Cdn.  Lo

Wow, you have gotten alot of responses to this!  I read them all, and am sure that they all work for those that use them....after all we are all individuals....Lots of plugs for those with own skincare business too, which I can appreciate, since I too have one of those...and, have used many of the others myself in the past....some of them I couln't stay with , though, because of cost or convenience...so , here, now is my plug....I have used and sold Avon products for 20 years....I have seen the change and inprovement of many of their products....I was there when ANEW came out....And, I have been using a form of it ever since.....They do have many different lotions and creams for all kinds of skin and budgets....I am now using the ANEW ULTIMATE for those 50 and older....I still, at 55 have fairly oily skin and it does not feel greasy on me...Avon's products are researched by the same quality of chemists and skin care specialist as many of the department store products, but sold at half the price because of the in home personal sales....Believe me the price point is as important to me as anyone else....Find a consultant close to you, or go online....if you don't find someone, let me know and I will help...Sorry about the promo., but you like what you know...=]

I have found that Loreal has worked best for me.  It is definitely not greasy.

I swear by Oil of Olay. I have used it since I was in my twenties. I am 56 but I don't look like it. Another beauty secret if you have lots of wrinkles is Preparation H. After thoroughly moisturizing your skin apply PH to the wrinkles and the neck area which usually carries a lot more than elswhere. After a month you will see an amazing difference. It might not take a month depending the degree of wrinkles. Depending on your skin, vaseline is a good nighttime moisturizer. Use a good toner in the morning.

oil of ulay daily moisteriser is the best

I love the Rodan + Fields ANTI-AGE SPF15 day craem and all the regimen products. The night cream is amazing too. This brand was the #1 clinical brand at Nordstroms. [EDITED BY MODERATOR]

I have been using "Sense Beautiful Science" by USANA Health Science for many years now with amazing results.

Their "Daytime Protective Emulsion" Replinish and Hydrate the skin, while defending against the enviroments. It is packed with Antioxidants, vitamin C etc...

One of the many plus is that their line of products has a Patetend Self-Preserving Technology, with Dermal Surface Renewal - simply put - this products are 100% Preservative Free and safe for the skin.

Here is a video with the details -

I use Merlot Moisturizer that can be bought @ any Walgreens.  The stuff is great and I use it under my make-up.  It's all natural and made from grape seed, an antioxident.  It's never greasy like most moisturizers. 

Oil of Olay complete spf 15

I have sensitive skin, but have found the Lush moisturizers are the best!

I like Mary Kay

maybe it isn't the need for a moisturizer that is the issue.  The cleansing process dictates how our skin responds to maintaining it's moisture and resiliency. For any type of problem skin (oily patches, dry patches, blocked pores, etc) try this simple but sure-fire way to help your skin.  Take some baking soda in the palm of one hand, with the other hand dribble some water onto the soda and make a paste (not too thick, not too thin).  Next, use your free hand (2 fingers) to spread the paste over your skin in small circular motions.  *don't press hard.  Don't rub it in too much. Work the baking soda paste over the skin and then rinse thoroughly with warm water.  You will be able to tell when it is all rinsed off.  Towel-blot your skin - don't rub. Next, pick a light skin oil, (even Mineral oil will suffice) put a few drops in the palm of your hand and use  your free hand to dip  your fingers in the oil and spread lightly over the skin.  If you have a bit too much oil on when you are finished, then take a tissue and blot it off - don't rub! I have used this baking soda paste method since I was a teen.  It cleared up a very bad acne and kept me blemish free since. I have sensitive skin and this is a natural source that will ph-balance the skin.  My daughter's teenage skin was so much worse than mine.  She had extreme dry patches as well as very oily patches.  It fixed her skin too.  Such beautiful skin, you would never know she ever bore a blemish and she is now in her 30's.  When my son started as a short order cook, his skin broke out from the heat.  The baking soda paste worked wonders for him also (no girly products for him! so he said - but the baking soda was quite acceptable and it cleared up the problem within the month).  Baking soda in the bathwater makes the bath so much nicer too - just be cautious that with other products used during the bath, your tub could get quite slippery due to the fact that the soda gives you a wonderful "soft water" bath.  As for a good moisturizer, try not to use any type of "cream". It lays on top of the skin and blocks the pores from breathing.  Clear moisturizers with glycerin are the best.  Body Shop has great facial oils (I use "Vitamin C facial serum") that don't leave a greasy look. Avon used to haave one called "Clearly C" but they quit making that one and I haven't tried any of their others.  Mineral oil is ok if you don't put it on too much, and it doesn't offer any sunscreen like some of the store bought products do.  Hope this helps somewhat. 

I have tried everything under the sun...have recently tried Mary Kay and LOVE it....and it is so much more inexpensive than other higher end products.  I am 54 yrs old and have just become a consultant....I love selling something I use and love. The Time Wise does sink right in and is not greasy.  Most  MK consultants have their own website....so if you live in Canada and would like try it let me know and I can give you my website,  as I don't feel it would be right for me to post unless someone specifically asks for it..  100 % money back guarantee...or you could find a local consultant in your area...Good luck....

I've always had problems with my thumbs cracking and bleeding and oh how they hurt!  I tried a LOT of different things and always came back to Curel.  The Curel lotions have worked for me for over 15 years!  Non-greasy feeling and it lasts till you wash your hands again or take a bath.  Not sticky, gummy or heavy feeling.  I trust it because it works for me.
