oil free facial moisturizer faves?

[binxb]

I'm looking for a new daily moisturizer and wanted to to know if folks had any faves. I've been using Mario Badescu but it feels a little heavy - even though it marketed as oil free. Thanks.

I'm not sure if Baxter is my fave but I liked it and it worked pretty well. I'd still like to try some other brands. The packaging looks different so maybe that means they changed the formula? I'm not sure. It went on very easily in the morning and was basically unnoticable throughout the day. Baxter Oil Free

PCA Skin Men's SPF 25 Moisturizer. I love this stuff, it feels very light.

pretty good stuff

thanks. do you know if it has zinc oxide in the ingredients? I've read that it's important for sunblocks to have that to be really effective at protecting your skin.

+1 for Kiehl's Sodium PCA Oil-Free Moisturizer.

If that's too heavy, use Curel or Cetaphil unscented body lotion.

Kinda expensive, but really nice.

I've had really good success with Clinique M lotion for many years.

it claims to have uvb/uva protection, but doesn't say anything about its spf.

In any case, it's Sephora's **** up. The product itself makes no such claims.

For a very light moisturizing serum, I use Olay Regenerist daily regenerating serum (fragrance free). It does not leave your face oily or shiny at all, but will help if you have dryness or peeling from using a retinoid like Retin-A or Differin. You can get a 3.4 ounce bottle for ~$28.00 at Costco. It does not have SPF, so I use a sunscreen if I am going to be out during the day.

Kiehl's is garbage. I didn't like Baxter's and found it heavy and sticky, but a lot of people like it. Personally, I like MenScience.
