Looking for a face cream.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a cruelty free vegan face cream that does not clog pores, is very light, and can go under foundation.
My skin type, well I don't really know... It's not oily, not dry, but it is sensitive.
Also does any one know of a product to get rid of creases? I have a little crease on my forehead and I wanna tackle it while I can!
Thanks guys

I would avoid anything that contains coconut, either cream or oil, since it may clog pores.

The Body Shop carries a moisturizer called Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet. It leaves the skin feeling so fresh! Hydrates, lightweight, non-greasy, cruelty free but I'm not sure it's 100% vegan :(

Also TBS carries a moisturizer made from Aloe Vera which is targeted for sensitive skin. It's cruelty free and 100% vegan. I haven't tried it but you can ask a sample :)

Lush's Celestial sounds like it'd be almost perfect. I use it daily and it's really the best. It's moisturizing but sinks in quickly to where you can apply makeup over the top. It's specifically made for sensitive skin and doesn't cause breakouts. It is also vegan and cruelty free. It doesn't do anything for creases as far as I know but you might want to look into a specialized product if that's a major concern.

Coconut oil contains a lot of fatty acids that are great for helping skin stay hydrated, but *can* exacerbate pore-related issues. I emphasize the word *can* because everybody's skin is different.

I do dabble with other brands, but my primary skincare line is Paula's Choice. They're bunny certified cruelty free, and most of their products are vegan.

Claims like non comedogenic are largely marketing, since they can't really be proven, per se. There are actually very few claims in terms of what you can find on a label that are FDA regulated; for the everyday consumer that basically means "fragrance free" claims (not to be confused with "unscented"), broad spectrum sun protection, and vegan/cruelty free claims.

Lush Full of Grace might be nice as well. It's oil based but feels almost velvety on the skin once it sinks in. I love Celestial by Lush as well, but it might be a little heavy for wear during the day in my opinion. Both are really gentle on sensitive skin though :)
