Any Recs for a Safe Facial Moisturizer?

I thought I was in the clear with my facial moisturizer. I use Anew Rejuvenate by Avon. But I just looked it up on SkinDeep.com and found that they are both in the moderate-to-high risk zone. I don't know how I missed this earlier. Now I need something new asap. I found a few on SkinDeep that seem to be good, but I looked them up on Sephora and the prices are outrageous ($50+).

Does anyone have any recommendations for a face lotion that doesn't contain salicylic acid, retinoids or Vitamin A? I saw that someone asked something similar last week, but there were only two responses. TIA if you have any suggestions :-)

    I LOVE Dr. Pat Wexler's Skin Brightening SPF 30 Lotion. Available at Bath and Body Works. Not sure the price though

    I just use plain old Oil of Olay (the pink bottle), that is what some girls on here suggested. ? Of course I use a toner with Salicylic Acid, because you would have to practically have a full body peel with the stuff to affect your baby.

    I use Oil of Olay in a little jar. I got Neutrogena oil free sensitive but it makes me break out like crazy, not what I need right now!

    I use Purpose face soap and moisturizer. Found at any drug/grocery store. I had reallllly acne prone skin and it balanced my pH level and I hardly ever break out any more. It is also "as gentle as water".

    I LOVE Dr.Haushka Rose Day Cream. It is totally safe and holistic, about $40 but so worth it. I don't think Oil of Olay is safe as far as the chemicals you are talking about.

    It really all depends on your skin type and what you are looking for ......

     

    for normal ... rarely breakout ... CHEAP and spf .... I usually recommend Cetaphil or Eucerin to my clients (when I did facials) 

     

    there are 5 million moisturizers out there ,,,, just depends on needs and budget ....

    Thanks everyone! My skin is slightly sensitive and breaks out a little, but not much. I hope switching moisturizers doesn't change that! I'm sure I can find something to use from your recommendations. There are just so many options to choose from, so a little insight from others really helps.

    I just use pure Aloe Vera (like you normally use for sunburns).  Very moisturizing all by itself with no extra ingredients, and it seems for me anyways to have clarifying properties.
