Pregnant after 35
NPR: Recommend your face cream!
I used to use Arbonne and loved it but it's a bit pricey. I'm debating going back though because I haven't found anything I like as well. My skin seems so dry and wrinkly lately, esp. that pesky forehead wrinkle.
Right now, I'm open to recommendations! I don't want to try a bunch of random stuff just because Sarah Jessica Parker or Andie McDowell advertise it!

Re: NPR: Recommend your face cream!
Oh I'm TOTALLY with you - the whole celeb face cream thing makes me NUTS.
I use something that I get when I go to Europe on business (sounds so schmancy, but it's STUPID cheap.) It's Nivea brand- but much to my chagrin, they don't MAKE the line of face products in the USA... only in Europe. It's a water based moisturizer, and i love it- but when i run out, I hit the ole standby.

Drugstore.com is having a BOGO deal on a lot of Olay products right now - you can get some decent deals
They're good products, and they don't break the bank!

I might retry Clinique. I used to love it when I lived in Toronto, but it just doesn't fight the dryness here in CO (or maybe my skin has changed).
My mom and sister swear by Nivea, but I find the cream here in the US too heavy.

I have tried a lot of different kinds. For a while there, I was really liking Clinique's "standard" moisturizer. The name escapes me, but it's the yellow one that's part of the 3-step skin care regimen.
However, I decided to try Avon's ANEW line and I absolutely LOVE it. It gets rave reviews from Allure, Glamour, etc., and they were having a great sale, so I tried it. They have both a day and a night version and I use both of them. It is AWESOME.
I do use Clinique's eye area cream though.

I've never been a fan of Clinique's skin care line?though I like their makeup. I tend to stick to Neutrogena products or Dove, though Dove seems to have discontinued their moisturizer.
I bought Purpose at Walgreens today. My old dermatologist used to recommend it. It has a SPF of 15, which is fine for daily use when not in the sun.
I have acne?not terrible acne, but I have it. Pre-pregnancy I used Proactiv but have nixed Salicylic Acid completely. I'm using Burt's Bees Soap Bark & Chamomile facial cleanser and it's helped with the breakouts. I'd love to try their face cream, but I haven't seen it anywhere and am not ready to buy online.

In the summer I like to use Dermalogica's Dynamic Skin Recovery, SPF 30 moisturizer. Love their whole line.
In the winter, since I live in the Chicago area and our winters are so extreme, I need a little extra moisture, so I use Perricone, MD's Face Finishing Moisturizer. It is expensive, but works so good on me. I like the toner and face wash too.
Both Dermalogica and Perricone have sample kits that you can buy to try the products first before you make the big $$ commitment.
I so wish I could use Olay products, I am highly allergic to something in their moisturizers.
I used to use clinique, somewhat to heavy for my skin now and causes breakouts...
I have good skin normally , with combination dry in patches and slightly oily on forehead...
I have also used Mary Kay in the past, but now expecting daughter so I am watching my budget and found that Neutrogena sensitive skin, oil free formula is perfect...about 10 bucks at target! Just enough to balance my skin and not leave it dry / too oily!
