Default Looking for a good winter face moisturizer

I am looking for a really good facial moisturizer that doesn't break my tight budget. I am in my early 50's and living in Staten island with lots of pollution, so it is necessary to be good. Looking for reccomendation. I would buy nivea in the blue tin from Germany that works great, but unable to find it here.

My nighttime moisturizer is St. Ives Collagen & Elastin which costs about $6 for a large jar. I've used it for years. I'm a senior citizen living in NJ about half an hour from you so similar climate conditions apply. Haven't really started showing wrinkles yet (thank you mom's good genes) and this non-greasy cream helps keep my skin soft. Best product of its type that I've tried.

I use an all natural beeswax,shea butter and almond oil lotion bar on my face and body,around 6 dollars each, no chemicals and two bars will last me about a year I love them ! You can also find recipes to make these yourself.

I use Clinique Dramtically Different moisturizer. A bit pricey but you need a very small amount. What I really like about it that does not clog pores (and at 58 I STILL have large pores!) and does an excellent job of moisturizing. It's very light but, in my opinion, very effective. On the large pump container, 1 or 2 light pumps will do the entire face. I've had one of those containers last a year when I was using it on an almost daily basis.

I noticed on Amazon reviews that the St. Ives product was sold to Unilever, who changed the ingredients somewhat (eliminated three of the natural ingredients and shuffled the others around) and conducts animal testing.

Do any of the others contain fragrance? I'd love to find a good, low-cost moisturizer that is fragrance-free. One of my biggest problems with trying moisturizers is that I cannot stand the fragrances used in most of them -- especially on my face, where I cannot get away from it!

I use just a drop of olive oil and drink lots of water. I have never used soap on my face, my great grandmother had beautiful skin and said its the water and no soap.
