I have been using the Cellex C Sea Silk oil free moisturizer. There are reviews about it in the forum but I find it very light moisturizer and leaves skin matte, it disappears fast and easily, leaves skin smooth. I really like it, I have tried others but none compare!

Thanks for the advice! I've heard (for the most part) really good things about the cellex-c sea silk moisturizer. I'm highly considering ordering it! Wink

For years, I was using Neutrogena Oil free moisturizer. The dermatologist recommended it...now i just tone then use my silken pearl paste and i find that helpful in balancing my skin.

Was that a moisturizer for day or night? If its day any one with spf 15 with the UVA/UVB ingredients will work and you don't have to spend a lot of money to find one either.

At night time any moisturizer with tons of antioxidants is best and theres lots of those around. Its up to you.

I use Zenmed oil-free moisturizer. It has no scents, colors, or irritants. 100% vegetarian.

I love "Essential Non-greasy Sunscreen SPF15" from Paula's Choice as a great moisturizer for my oily/combination skin!
It's parfum-free and has a lot of anti-oxidants in it.

If I just want something I can run out to the store and pick up, I go with something light like Biore Pore Minimizing Lightweight Moisturizer SPF 15, Oil-Free. It sinks in quickly and my MMU is easy to apply over it.

I've actually discovered a good oil free moisturizer. Ice Elements do a brillant one!!! Most oil free ones aren't moisturizing enough! This one makes my face soft and gives it a nice glow!! Another steller product by ice elements.

A few months ago I e-mailed Kate at EDS to recommend an oil-free product that I can use morning and night as I was heading off to Punta Cana and I didn't want to bring a whole lot of products with me. She recommend Dermalogica Active Moist. It's is a light weight, oil-free moisture.
Excellent product! Once again Kate's recommendation was dead on for me.

Hi Blackmamba - Great name by the way.

Why don't you look at a serum. Something from Eminence Organics, in which most do not contain oils. IS Clinical has some amazing serums that have saved my skin on numerous occasions.

i have used the ice elements moisturizer before. once i started reading ingredients, i realized it was filled with cones.

and it does have oil though very little:

Ingredients: Aloe Barbadensis, PEG-100 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Glyceryl Stearate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract (Antarcticine), Retinyl Palmitate, Zea Mays Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ascorbic Acid, Camellia Oleifera (Green Tea) Extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Lavender Oil, Benzophenone-3, Sodium PCA, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Tetrasodium EDTA, Propylparaben, Methylparaben, DMDM Hydantoin

i am curious as why you are avoiding oils though. if you're worried about clogging skin stick with moisturizers formulated with lighter oils.

my derm told me that my perioral dermatitis could be caused by oils. This is most unfortunate because I love trilogy and their products are filled with oils.

so sorry about your skin condition! that sucks because i thought a good skin cream is created from a balance of oils/butters v. water ingredients.
