Favorite Nighttime Moisturizer?

MandySays — Wed, 13 Aug 2014 20:49:09 GMT

I am all set on 99% of my skincare routine..but I cannot seem to find a good nighttime moisturizer. I'm 36 with combination skin and I thought the Paula's Choice RESIST Barrier Repair Moisturizer with Retinol was going to be enough, but it's feeling more like a treatment-only. My face feels slightly tight afterward.

On the flipside, my mom gave me some of her Olay Regenerist Microsculpting Cream and ugh..that stuff is WAY too heavy..feel like my skin is suffocating.

Can someone point me to a happy medium? Something I could use on top of my PC RESIST Moisturizer? I don't think it even needs to be treatment based y'know? Just nothing too heavy/greasy.

Try something from her skin balancing line or Hydralight moisturizer. I like both moisturizers from Paula's skin balancing line. Or for drugstore brand I also like CeraVe moisturizers--not too heavy.

You might like Skinn's Deep Wrinkle Protocol Creme Reverse -- it's a gel/cream. I prefer something heavier (like Skinn's 24 Hour Cream -- think Crisco) but the DWP is lovely. Just not quite enough for me.

ETA: Dimitri believes creams where the first ingredient is water, eventually evaporate and that's why so often our skin can look dry after a while even though we're wearing moisturizer. Don't know if that's really important, but just throwing it out there.

ASDM Beverly Hills has a lot of good moisturizers. I really like their Maximum Hydration cream and am thinking of ordering their Collagen cream.

Yeah I have tried samples of all PC's moisturizers (except Skin Recovery) and the only one that feels moisturizing enough is the Moisture Boost, which is out of stock booooo.

But yeah I was *just* looking at the Cerave PM Lotion since I've seen it mentioned a few times.

Oooh I'll add that to my ""to look into"" list And yeah that 24 Hour sounds too heavy for my liking.

Check out my edit on my first post, for what it's worth (shrug).

You'll find a better price on eBay or when Dimitri comes to town on HQ, you can get a good deal on kits. On its own, it's kind of pricy. I like the delivery system, too -- one of those airtight "push" top jars. I honestly wish it was enough for me.

JM Argan oil or Tarte Maracuja oil.

Although I'm switching from his brand, due to cost, I really loved PTR's Laser-free gel-cream moisturizer.

I use PC's Moisture Boost moisturizer on top of the Barrier Repair.

I have used both of these in the past and felt they were just ok. I don't know what it is I think I'm looking for haha.

This is what I'm very much leaning toward..if the MB moisturizer ever comes back in stock *frustrated* haha.

I've been waiting for it to come back in also. I'm getting pretty low on mine. I love that moisturizer.

Ok I just looked at what we use on our 2-yr-old son and it's CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion..I looked it up on Beautypedia and it's almost identical to the CeraVe PM..only it doesn't contain the antioxidants so I think I'll try this out until the PC Moisture Boost Cream comes back in-stock. I get my antioxidants from other products anyway.

I use PC Skin Recovery moisturizer and love it. It's by far the best moisturizer I've ever used, and I've used many different brands through the years.

FYI, CeraVe moisturizers are recommended by Dermatologists for ALL ages. But snark away if it makes you feel better. It's just kind of embarrassing when you come across sounding ignorant, isn't it.

That's my opinion as well, NickNack. It is probably my favorite of all her products. I've used it now for more than a year. I also use it as my eye cream.
