I'm totally getting fed up now I have tried so may different moisturisers creams lotions gels, every one of them makes my skin sticky if i touch my face you can feel its sticky impossible to glide your finger across it, without moisturiser i can touch my face and glide my finger across.

    I bought this after having similar issues with creams feeling too heavy. This feels light and doesn't go sticky for me at all.

    I always thought it was glycerin doing that but it turns out dimethicone is the ingredient I need to avoid for that horrid skin feel.  Quite difficult in mainstream moisturisers, unfortunately.

    That said I now need heavy moisturisers because my face dries out so quickly, so the ones I use do need time to sink in before I can glide my finger over my skin again.

    Sounds interesting, currently cheaper from LookFantastic and Boots (though postage may need to be taken into account).

    aqueous cream is a good one.  It doesn't make everything stick to you.
