Help finding right moisturizer

SkincareAddiction@sh.itjust.works – 13 points – 9 months ago

Ok long and short of it. I have ADHD and no desire to have a ten step regimen. And even if I did I wouldn't consistently keep up with it. I also work a job that involves me being outside in heat and cold and in an way that involves working with gross things so I get disgusting on a daily basis.

I have combo skin with my t zone being a gross ass oil pit. I currently wash with corsx low pH cleanser and love it. I don't use toner (used to but havent seen a difference in using it verses not) and am trying to find a daily moisturizer.

I have tried Cetaphul in the green bottle. It was okay but I don't love the feel of it and still felt dry in some places and oil in others

I have tried Aveeno for redness (I do have some redness and my mom has rosacea) and it feels nice but an hour or two after using my forehead feels very oily again

And I have tried Neutrogena Hydrogel and boy I love the feel but the product seems to not be very hydrating and I still end up with an oily forehead prior to work and getting sweaty.

What are some other options? The reviews on everything seem so mixed that I don't know where to go from here.

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.
