Need help finding a face lotion/moisturizer.

Hi, guys. I need some help, pleeease...

My knowledge of skincare is very limited, so please forgive me lol. I don't know my skin type or the types of products that I should be looking for or avoiding. I think it's "combination," because its dryness/oilyness changes day by day. But when it's dry and I apply lotion, it gets greasy, like it's not absorbing all the way or something. I think I need just a basic lotion that will absorb like normal lotion on the rest of my skin, and I can just apply when necessary. But like I said, I'm clueless lol

If anyone has any tips or info for me, I'd really appreciate it!

I use this cetaphil that's like the consistency of shortening. I love it!

I love the cetaphil range also but I've been using aveeno and it's worked wonders on my dry and oily areas

The Body Shop carries a moisturizer for combo skin. It is called "seaweed mattifying day cream" and it hydrates when the skin is dry and mattifyes when it is greasy. I really like because it is not heavy and does what it says :)

I'm fond of CeraVe myself..both the gentle, hydrating wash and moisturizers. Affordable and packed with anti-aging benefits if that's a concern. Several formulas of lotion with differing thicknesses. I'd keep it light with CeraVe AM and their regular PM lotion. Quick absorbing and will hopefully help you out.

My choice of moisturizer is Dermaxsol as it is non-greasy and it is quickly absorbed in the skin and doesn't leave white patches. It's clinically researched formula keep your skin hydrated without making your face oily. Also, it is a sunscreen with SPF 30. It is suitable for oily skin. Just go for it.

Cerave moisturizing lotion. That particular one is lightweight enough not to feel greasy but hydrating enough for dry areas.
If you find the dry areas are VERY dry then use the their moisturizing cream in the more dry areas. This particular brand has ingredients that are actually shown to work plus they don't have added fragrance which can irritate some peoples skin and cause a reaction like redness, dryness, itchiness etc
