What Moisturiser Do You Use?

Following on from my thread 'What Foundation Do You Use' someone suggested that a reason I end up all shiny is because of the moisturiser that I use. I'm currently using Dr. Nick Lowe oil control day cream but it doesn't seem to be working. So what moisturser do you use and does it leave you shine free all day?

    My skin is very oily so I only use a lotion once a day as opposed to a cream. At the moment, because I am skinter than a really, really skint thing I'm using some Skin Therapy lotion I found in the local pound shop and it's no better or worse than anything else I've ever used

    I use Nivea soft all over me too, its lovely and when my face is dry on rare occasions i use it then. Otherwise i use Clinique's moisture surge when needed. It lasts me for ages. I say when needed as I can get a bit oily sometimes and really dont need extra on my face!

    I use Aqueous cream and have done since I was a child (30 now) Its the only thing that works on my skin, I have suffered on and off with eczema and I've tried so many different products but they either dry my skin out or leave it burning. The best thing is its so cheap!

    olay for me too.....................tried various others but find most irritate my skin.

    Had elemis products used on me recently at Ragdale Hall and was very impressed but avoided looking at prices as I dont do expensive products.

    Lancome Bienfait Multi Vital lotion. I'd describe my skin as combination and maybe a bit confused. My nose and chin can get a bit oily, but then sometimes they can be dry and my cheeks can be quite dry and my forehead is pretty normal. A girl behind a Lancome counter gave me a load of samples once including this and their microdermabrasion stuff. I said I thought my skin was oily and she said that she thought it was actually dry and it was behaving in an oily way to combat the dryness. I don't know, but I tried their stuff and loved it.
