Am now 57 with good skin, no major lines or wrinkles ! Am looking for a non greasy moisturiser for wrinkles and something for the eyes also as have some fine lines just below eye area. Currently using the Aldi night creams and think they are good but need some thing for day time to use over my vit c syrum etc. I have been given a gift of the Estée Lauder global creme for face and eyes and it's day 3 of Using those but find the face creme quite thick and heavy..so any ideas please.. or shall I just use a l oreal revitalift serum over the vit c one..?? As have been gifted that also... don't mind a little splurge but it has to be a non shiny and non greasy cream.. thanks.

Stick to a moisturizing fluid instead of a face cream! There are many brands that offer them.

I have greasy skin and loved Neutrogena hydro boost water gel.

Thanks. My skin isn't oily or greasy, I would say more on the dry side...I just don't like the shine that these creams create.

Could it be that perhaps you are using a tad bit too much cream? There is only so much your skin can absorb.

You can use a mattifying powder afterwards but if you don’t like it, you can also use blotting papers before you leave the house. They’re a lifesaver for me!

The Estée Lauder creme is just quite thick so I don't use much of it. Your suggestion looks worth a try !

I swear by Super Facialist moisturisers now, I have the vitamin C, Rose and sensitive ones- all non greasy and non irritating

I'm a big fan on No7 protect & perfect, or the Restore & Renew version. Not too thick and creamy and don't feel claggy on the skin.
