Very rich anti-aging creams?

I've noticed my skin has been feeling tighter and dryer than normal. Perimenopause I'm assuming? I recently switched from the moisturising 'rich' formula that I've been using for a few years to one of their anti-aging formulas that has got great reviews. I thought it was great for the first week or so, but now minutes after I put it on my skin has absorbed it all and doesn't feel particularly moisturised. I got a sample of the Sheseido Vital Perfection Uplift and Firming cream in Hello Fashion yesterday so tried it out this morning and the same thing - it sinks in, but my skin doesn't feel very moisturised half an hour after applying. My makeup is to show fine lines under my eyes because its dryer there now.

I've always had very dry skin, so think I need something super moisturising. Can anyone recommend an extremely moisturising anti-aging face cream? Potentially something that most people would find too greasy? Because that's how dry my skin is.

Thanks everyone. Will definitely look into more of these recommendations and try some samples too.

I would normally use my face oil before my moisturiser but layered it after yesterday. I've not used it for a while but it left my skin feeling really nice and moisturised throughout the night. Almost tacky to the touch which is how I like it lol. I read some of the reviews on the Charlotte Tilbury cream and it got some bad reviews because people said it left their skin feeling a bit greasy and tacky so chances are I'd like that one lol. But will look into them all. 👍🏻

@WineGetsMeThroughIt - yes it does, for about two minutes Grinwhich is why it's a night cream but my skin just sucks it up and the next morning I definitely look rested. Like I say I've never endorsed a product before but if you have thirsty skin I think you'll love it. You can get a sample from any CT counter.

Op it's the original nivea cream in the blue tub. No frills. The one dating back many years. I would post a picture but my phone doesn't let me!

I'm exactly the same Grin the hado labo one is definitely a good, cheaper alternative which makes your skin feel really moisturised (and yes, tacky).
