What face creams do you like? - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

I want to start using a face cream, but I really have no clue on what to try... So, I'm hoping you ladies can tell me what you're using, and why you like it

Oh, and if you're using an eye cream, please tell me about that too!

Janette:
First of all, how old are you? Also, what concerns do you have about your skin? Eg. fine lines, flaking skin, break outs, etc. or are you looking for an all purpose day cream?

I've used all different creams, trying to find the "right one". Some are definitely better than others. Right now, every other day, I'm using Retisol-A with SPF 15 (avail. by prescription) for my fine lines and sunspots. LOVE IT!! Took about 3 months to see results. On the other days I use Olay Complete Care Daily UV Protection Moisturizing Cream or Lotion. At night, I use Eliz.Arden Ceramide Time Complex Moisture cream on my neck (very creamy and rich) and an anti-aging serum on my face. Under my eyes, Clinique's Moisture Surge Eye Gel.

Hope this helps you.

I use drmatically different moisturizer by Clinique, it's the best! They also have a great eye cream too that I can't remember the name off the top of my head. Oh yeah, the reason why I like the cream so much is that I have norm to oily skin and I tend to break out when I put any kind of moisturizer on my face...I have yet to see a pimple since I've started using this cream.

Thanks for the feedback.

girlgato, I'm 16. I think what I'm looking for is something that will help prevent wrinkles, and at the same time moisturize my face. I never put anything on my face before.. but I think it could use something.

As for my eyes.. well, I've had dark circles under them for years. Drinking water (and i mean ALOT of water) didn't help. Sleeping more didn't help. I don't drink or do drugs. So, I don't really know what's causing them, or how to get rid of them.

Is there a cream that any of you know about that would help get rid of under-eye circles?

I have used AVON RICH MOISTURE CREAM for 40 years and really do look younger than 56 years old. It really works. Never had a break out neither. For under dark circles just use a concealer stick.
