    I use moisturizer morning and night and mine is really failing me right now.  I’m looking for a basic moisturizer preferably under $10.  What is your favorite?

    EDIT:  I'm looking for a face moisturizer please.

    My favorite face moisturizer is Dove, I think its called Ultra Moisture? For an all-over one I really love that new Vaseline Intensive Care - the one with that crazy commericial with those girls flying around :)

    Clinque Dramatically Different Moisturizer

    http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P204204&categoryId=B70

    $12.50, but well worth it.

    I've been using Cliniques line up, and I'm pretty pleased.  It's not super expensive...

     

    My favorite line is Eminence.  Made my skin look amazing.  Unfortunately, I can't afford it right now.  :(

    @hotchild I've heard great things about clinque, maybe this will make me try it.

    I use Biore Nourish Moisture Lotion - it's about the lightest moisturizer that includes SPF that I have tried (much lighter than the Neutrogena + SPF one), also doesn't have an icky sunscreen smell. I have very sensitive skin that tends to cycle between too dry and too oily, this does a good job of balancing everything out. It comes in a green bottle, I think it's no more than 7 or 8 dollars.

    I like Dove Pro-Age but its been discontinued. Second favourite is Clinique. It's light and doesn't feel greasy on your face all day.

    Clinique rocks, but I got to say, I love the original Oil of Olay inthe pink bottle that you get at CVS.  Look up the reviews, they haven't changed the formula in forever because it works.  Good beauty secret (is it a secret?)  Hmmm

    Merlot- it is pretty affordable and you can find it at any Walgreens. It is made from grape seed and it smells delicious!

    Look on Etsy! I know you usually think clothes, jewelry, decor, etc. when thinking of Etsy but there are some incredible bath and body sellers!

    I got a moisturizer called "Velvet Face" from this seller, unfortunately she is on maternity leave and isn't available for another couple weeks! Anyway, the moisturizer was only I think $12 including shipping, and it is the most incredible product I've ever tried. It even heals sunburns overnight! I just would rather buy beauty products from actual people who aren't loading them up with a bunch of chemicals, rather than factories trying to maximize profits. Something to think about!

    I use Dove Sensitive Skin Day Lotion. It is frangrance free, dye free, hypoallergenic, non-irritating, and non-comedogenic. It is amazing and lightweight. Available at any drugstore ~8 bucks in Canada, probably cheaper in the US.

    I love Clinique dramatically different - it's the best one I've found, and believe me, I've tried all different kinds, from drugstore brands to natural brands to expensive department store lotions. This one is great for the price.

    I have been fighting dry flaky skin for what feels like forever.  Right now I use a night cream for my day moisturizer and so far that has been the best thing.....however it doesn't contain any sunscreen which does bother me. This is a little more expensive than $10 but I got desperate.

    I used to use Clinque but it clogged my pores (I actually had to get them popped at my dermotologist's -- gross but true) So now I use purel -- highly reccomend it since its found at the drugstore AND has SPF 15

    Oil of Olay for Sensitive Skin. I've used Clinique in the past, and while it's good, I don't think it was dramatically better for my skin than Oil of Olay is. But my mom swears by Clinique and she has amazing skin, so who knows :)

    Honestly...Meijer hypoallergenic, long lasting, oil free moisturizer.  

    It's cheap.  I don't breakout.  It works perfectly.

    I'm a Biore (oil-free, spf 15) girl myself.  Plust they make a small 2 oz bottle you can bring on the plane--my hubs keeps one in the car.

    I swear by the Oil of Olay Complete with SPF for combo skin... it is pretty much the same stuff they have been making forever ... i can remember my mom using it.. it is a white bottle with a black lid... I buy the biggest bottle for I think $9.96 plus tax at Walmart

    Hands down Mary Kay's Balancing Moisturizer. Nothing else compares. But a close #2 is Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion w Alpha Hodroxy

    I love Eminence! Their whole line is organic and makes my skin feel sooo soft! It's kinda pricey, but FSIL gets a discount so it works out for me. :)

    I'm a bit late to this party, but shheeeeeeesh, Clinique is SO much more expensive in Australia!! It's like, 50 bucks for the small/normal size dramatically different moisturising lotion!! Holy mama! Exclamation mark!

    If anyone down undah is reading, I'm a big fan of Akin and Natio moisturisers. The Natio spf 15 smells good and doesn't clog up my skin. I used to use the Akin intensive night cream and it smells delicious and is nice and creamy, without being oily.
