I was wondering if anyone could reccommend a good moisturiser for dry but oily skin. I've tried a few oil free moisturisers but they don't hydrate my skin nearly enough and I've been ending up up with dry flakey areas. So what I think I really need is something that will restore the moisture but not leave a residue on my skin.
I'm kind of looking to pay a medium to premium amount for something that will actually work.

I use Smashbox. Their tinted moisturizer is great because it gives you a bit of coverage if you do have a pimple or something but it moisturizes so well and it actually stays on. I'm in love with it.

norwegian formula is the shiiiit


i have dry cheeks/oily forehead and i have been saved since is started using ultimate moisturiser, it costs 6.99 in boots:



they also do a nighttime version which is much much richer, and which i use occassionally as a treaty

i have really oily skin and i find that enzymion from lush is really exceptional.

Have you ever been to OlayForYou.com? You can get a free skin consultation and find out more about your individual skin care needs, then a consultant will recommend products based on what you answer about your skin type. You should try it out hopefully it can help you plus the site is fun.

And it contains the juice of an entire lemon. For realz.

The last few days I've been using the Simple Oil Balancing moisturiser.
I put it on in the morning, get on with my general morning stuff for a few minutes, and then if I have some dry/tight feeling patches I put rub a little more basic moisturiser on them (I've been using the Clinique dramatically different lotion because I have some, but you could probably use any) before I put on make-up.

I've yet to believe there is a genuine combination moisturiser that works. I just think putting on an oily skin/balancing one works for a start, and then a little of another one on your cheeks/mouth area/wherever you get dry patches, is the way forward.

As far as I can tell its the best for walking around as little in the way of spots and dry patches as you can get. Maybe even using an oily skin one and just having some lotion on standby incase you feel you need it.

neutregena oil free moisturiser is good, but if you don't mind paying more you should get clinique dramatically different hydrating gel! their normal moisturiser is too heavy i find, but this one is so good.

When I get back to civilisation I'll check that one out (maybe ask them for a tester). My skin isn't too oily, but it goes NUTS when I use moisturisers.

I use the Simple Oil Balancing Light Moisturiser. It's the best moisturiser I've found for my skin, I have an oily T-zone but can get dry skin on my cheeks.

Furlisitea you should try the website I gave. I have that same oily skin problem. But if you really dont want to change from what you use now choose the option of learning about additional recommendations when given the option - that might help.
