After doing a lot of research on the best moisturizer to use with retinol, I bought this. It’s great and inexpensive. Sometimes I’ll add a few drops of Trilogy Rosehip Oil (the best moisturizing serum IMO) to it.

Do you use the sensitive fluid or the ultra soothing repair moisturizer?

I just started using Cetaphil Deep Hydration Healthy Glow and I love it. It has a really nice texture and it's not too heavy. My skin gets VERY dry in the winter and this has been great for that.

I use CeraVe night cream (small tub, purple label) and it's great. I can use it year round. In the winter I do add face oil underneath it here and there.

I’m a big proponent of seeing a professional (dermatologist). They all seem to recommend simple drugstore moisturizers like vanicream or cetacean pm (no sunscreen). Elfa MD sunscreen is also moisturizing. If you need something more like retinol or Tretinoin that’s an additional option. But with sooooo many very expensive creams floating around I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how a dermatologist can really set you straight, likely on cheaper products perhaps with some RX’s mixed in

^ cerave not cetacean, is that a crab? an epoch of geological history?

47 year old with very sensitive skin - this line of moisturizers has been a game changer for me:

Same age and skin type and I use Olay regenerist at night (sometimes cerave pm) and Malin and Goetz Vitamin E in the day layered over Australian Gold tinted sunscreen.

45 here and I like LRP generally. I use the Toleraine Double Repair as my daily moisturizer and have been really happy with it, even compared to some of the pricier ones from belief or Fresh mentioned already.

This is the one I was referring to, although I’ve tried other LRP formulations and I’ve liked all of them. I have ridiculously sensitive skin, but this brand never has triggered redness or rashes, which makes it unique. (I’ve even reacted to Cerave and Cetaphil products before!)

Cerave is good but I also have tatcha dewy skin - it’s actually the only skincare product I’ve bought 4 times now, I adore it! Sephora just started stocking. Jumbo jar that I bought last week! It gives my skin the most perfect texture.

At night I use Ponds cream, the one with blue top from drugstore. My dermatologist said it’s better than most and less expensive.

Me too! It makes my skin very soft.

I like Tatcha dewy skin and True Botanicals Radiance Oil

Another vote for Tatcha. I also love Derma E night cream.
