I've found really good luck with CeraVe (but not the one with sunscreen in it, I use a separate sunscreen product) and Vanicream moisturizers. I used to use aveeno, but like you said, my face would feel oily a while after using it.

I second cerave, particularly for sensitive skin and rosacea
O'keefes working hands are what I use. Doesn't leave me all greasy, doesn't have and smell I can notice and definitely helps with dry skin. I just use it on my whole body.
Edit thought I was on an ADHD sub and not skincare but I still think its worth a go. Also get the stuff in a tub they have some in squeeze tubes but its not as good.
Wash with jojoba, moisture with Shae butter, that's all.
If you happen to have a Trader Joe's nearby, I've been liking their "Ultra Hydrating Gel Moisturizer", although sometimes it feels a little too light for winter. I also sometimes use the CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizer, but that one can sometimes leave me feeling kinda greasy after a while. I'm traveling and using a different face wash at the moment, so I don't know how much of my issues with the CeraVe moisturizer are due to the face wash vs the climate, because I don't recall it ever feeling greasy back home, but I only started using it a few months ago.
Coloplast Sween.
I tried so many lotions before I found Sween. Now I don't use anything else.
Gold bonds diabetic lotion. I swear by the stuff. It's thick as peanut butter, but leave it on for a bit, wipe off any excess. I have incredibly dry skin on my hands that will crack and bleed if I don't moisturize, and I went from using lotion 10-15, sometimes more, times per day, to applying morning and night and being okay on most days. I also use the Walmart knock off brand and haven't seen a difference.
Do you have a sunscreen that you still use over the moisturiser or are you hoping for a moisturiser with spf?
I have a sunscreen I use over the moisturizer for when I'm outside It's a really high SPF but I have to be outside a lot and it's very hard to reapply every 2 hours because that means stopping what I'm doing cleansing my hands and my face and reapplying.. I usually manage reapplying every four
Ok great. Maybe a hat and UPF clothing would work better for you? I bought some innisfree serum and sunscreen when I was in Korea a few months back and I have really been enjoying their formulations so I just ordered the green tea seed moisturiser from them and it arrives tonight. I’ll let you know how it is. Their sunscreen is super light and watery and on more humid days in Florida I feel like the serum is plenty hydrating that I don’t even bother with a moisturiser and my skin feels great.
