| Need a good moisturizer, that won't break out my dry acne prone skin and also isn't expensive. Any recommendations? I am currently using Cerave PM, but think it may not be enough. I tried Ponds (upon someone's rec) but it broke out my skin. |

| At night, I use the German formulation of Nivea creme. (Available on Amazon). Supposedly it is nearly identical in formulation to La Mer. Not sure about that but it's definitely made my 43-year-old skin just as smooth and glowing as La Mer did the one time I bought a bottle. |

| Elta MD - worth the $26 and you can get it on Amazon. |

| Honestly, I slather Jergen's Ultra Healing body lotion on my face. I feel like it's some sort of sacrilege to do it, but it has been the only thing that has ever worked on my super dry skin. |

NP who has been following this thread. Do you have acne prone skin? I feel like that would make me breakout. |

| Coconut oil! But I'm 39 so maybe my answer doesn't count. |

| In the winter I use Dermalogica's Intensive Moisture and in the summer, I use Aveeno facial moisturizer with SPF 30. |

| I'm not the original coconut oil poster, but I have acne prone skin and have had luck with coconut oil. Supposedly coconut oil has some natural anti-bacterial, anti-fungal properties that help fight acne and inflammation. FWIW, I am 42 and have been using coconut oil for about two years. A little goes a long way. |

| I've been using Lancome for years, but I guess it doesn't fall into the "inexpensive" category. But a big jar costs me about $85 but lasts for MONTHS. |

| TO the Elta MD poster: does that include sunscreen? I use Elta MD UV Clear, and I wonder if that "counts" as a moisturizer. Thanks. |

| Clinique Moisture surge instense - I buy into all the clinique stuff, but that is my fav lotion. Keep a jar in my office desk drawer. |
