I'm using Lancome Renergie Lift with a little EL Resilience Lift liquid foundation mixed in. The EL foundation is my year round, go to foundation for every day.

I buy the Renergie Lift on the bay for about $8-9 for 1/2 oz travel size.

A LOT more affordable than my favorite tinted moisturizer which is Laura Mercier.

But a girl must cut costs when she needs to!!

Thanks for the response!

Oil of Olay has a tinted moisturizer that works well

I,too,had to make a change as my skin became quite dry and I also now use a tinted broad-spectrum SPF 41 sunscreen by EltaMD. I can use Bare Minerals over it, after a few minutes of drying. But under the EltaMd, I use Eucerin Professional Repair extremely dry skin lotion, morning and as a night cream. (I blot before applying EltaMdMD in the morning; letting it soak in for a few minutes before applying BE if using that day.) I had tried Cerave moisturizer and Curel Intensive Healing, but the above combination is now a good combination. I'm 70+ and it works!

My favorite BB Cream is from Lumene (they sell that at CVS & Ulta, and other drugstores too). I also know that Aveeno Clear Complexion in a BB Cream is for acne related skin. Both are really nice (that is found at drugstores too). Another one that is suppose to be for acne is Maybelline Dream Pure BB 8-in-1 Skin Clearing Perfector, it is suppose to help clear acne as it has 2% salicylic acid acne treatment (But no SPF in this one). It isn't bad, but I like having an SPF in mine.

If you are looking on high end, I love Trish McEvoy BB Cream, (that is sold on the "H" shopping network). It is expensive, but matte and pretty.

I have tried a bunch, and honestly, for the money, Lumene is pretty great. It never broke me out and looked natural, it wasn't greasy. Some BB Creams can be greasy.

Good luck and God Bless you.

I really like Physician Formula CC cream. It's on sale this week at Ulta and RiteAid for 40% off.

I was never a fan of tinted moisturizers (I've played around with several) until Josie Maran's came along. I really like hers as it has the lightness one is looking for when using a tinted moisturizer, wears phenomenally all day without changing color or fading, and it works well as a primer product if you want to have fuller coverage and add a full coverage foundation.

Thanks ladies! So nice! So last night I had just put a dab of cleanser on my face when my dog started freaking out due to the storm. So I stopped what I was doing to calm her down. I hadn't worked it in or grabbed my Mia yet. So I forgot the cleanser and it dried on my face. Later, I put on moisturizer and went to bed. I no more pulled up my covers and my face started burning. I thought WHAT NOW???? So I rewound the evening in my head and realized my mistake. I then washed my face really well, and it's still a little red this morning. What a dummy!
