Best Face Cream?
 
I am now in my mid-60s and have been on the search for a really good daily face cream or moisturizer. Since I live in Arizona and golf, I need something with sun screen. I have tried products from the local pharmacy, along with higher-priced products from Macys, Dillards and Saks. To be honest, right now I'm not seeing a huge difference in any of the products but maybe it's because I'm constantly switching what I use.

Any suggestions?

right now i'm using vitamin c cream at night. I notices a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
it doesn't have sunscreen it it though. Maybe try a vitamin store for a great value. I used to use
Lancôme tinted moisturizer with a sun screen in it . maybe that will work for you.

Mom was an 'Avon lady' when I was a kid (now almost 57), I can order it online, and I'm happy with it

I use nothing with fragrance or dyes. I have very dry skin so Lubriderm works for me. Have never been able to use Avon, Loreal, or Olay and few others. Have to use non-allergenic.

I like St. Ives, "Facial Moisturizer, Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin". It's fragrance free and not too heavy; I use it as my makeup remover, to put on after showering, or just anytime my face feels dry. It says it reduces wrinkles but I'm still pretty young (just shy of 40) so I don't really see a difference; I use it mostly just to sooth dry skin and so I'm not using harsh chemicals to remove makeup.

I picked it because it's the closest thing I could find to the old face cream my Gran used to use - she looked beautiful right up to the end and I'd like to do the same if I can!

No sunscreen in it, though. It's not very expensive, less than $10 for a pretty big tub.

I`m way over 70 and a farm wife, spent a lot of time out doors bailing hay, driving tractor, picking stones, chopping corn and what ever on the farm, not to mention a hugh garden and large lawn I took care of. I should have taken better care of my skin, but who had the time. I just started to use face cream now. I have RAINTREE beauty cream by Noxzema, VITAMINE E skin cream by fruit of the earth, & you guessed it udderly smooth body cream by redex industries inc. Every night I put one of these on and my face is soft & smooth, I don`t know which one or the combination that works.

I love the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base, but it is pricy. Also doesn't have sunscreen in it so I use the neutrogena dry touch SPF 50 sunscreen.

Exfoliiation is a must. It gets rid of the dry skin. The moisturizer is more effective then. I use the "day" and "night" creme. I am a BeautiControl fan. Love their skincare . They have different levels of skincare. I get compliments on my skin. Been using it for 15-20 years.

I use ST. Ives Timeless Skin. I have used it do 30+years, and have fabulous skin. It is also inexpensive. I think the directions say twice daily, but I am not much of an outdoor person, so I so not in the elements much. Once a day works for me.

no sun screen but Olay regenerist is great, I use Equate and can't see any difference
