Suggestions For Good Quality Drug-store Face Moisterizers?

I'm looking for suggestions to supplement what I usually use...Dr. Denese and Philosophy, for the past decade.

My current DD is from an auto-delivery pack of 4 items...and I'm only out of the face cream, so I don't want to reorder whole thing at this time. HIJ has gotten too expensive, (though I did just see a "deal" (for Philosophy) on Amazon.)

 

That said...I've been curious about simplifying to a good drugstore brand for a while...I was considering checking out ROC, Loreal or Nivea. Even Olay. But now there are SO MANY options even within a brand, just curious if any of you have one you like?  Also, any with SPF included?

 

My skin is normal to dry, btw.

 

Thanks in advance for any feedback. Smiley Happy

CeraVe. AM and PM lotions.

I now use Olay Regenerist fragrance free Regenerating serum on a slightly damp face, then use Cerave PM moisturizer over it.  It's a lot cheaper and I love the way it makes my skin feel not greasy, but moisturized all day long.

@amyb  If you want a moisturizer with a thicker creamier texture, I recommend Cerave SkinRenewal Night Cream.  

But if you want a lighter feeling moisturizer, I recommend  Neutrogena Hydroboost Watergel or Garnier Skinactive Moisture Bomb.

If you want your SPF to be truly effective, I will apply sunscreen seperately.

Olay for everything.  The eye cream is great.  I use the Red jars, Regenerist.

I agree - CeraVe all the way!  You could do a search for the benefits of ceramides in skin care.  There are many.  For one, ceramides create a moisture barrier to retain moisture you already have in your skin.  WebMD magazine occasionally runs articles on how ceramides keep skin healthy, and they recommend CeraVe products for skin care.
