I always thought, by the time I started to get wrinkles, my acne would be gone, but NO!

So, I am needing a good moisturizer for my aging skin, that is okay for sensitive and acne prone skin, and possibly with an spf. Any good ideas, for something under (or around) the $15 range?

I use "Age Defying" by Oil of Olay. They have a day & night creme. I have used it for a VERY long time. It's $10 a jar. They also have the lotion but I prefer the creme.

Hi Momma L., I like Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture for Sensitive Skin (copying it off the bottle). It's about $12 for 4 oz at Target or Walmart.

I have acne and wrinkles, too, sigh, guess the joke's on us after all!

I dont know if you have Trader Joes there, but I love there face moisturizer. It is only like $4 too.
I used to use Oil of Olay, and liked that too. I just switched because this is cheaper, and I actually like it more.

The Aveeno line should have something for you. I really like the Positively Radiant moisturizer. It has an SPF.

I use Avon's Anew Reveralist (you can link from my page). I have to add orange essential oil because I don't like how it smells AT ALL, but I find that it works well for my ance-prone aging skin. It's more than $15, but there are often specials. I have tried a LOT of other moisturizers and I keep going back to this one.

I recently started selling Watkins (I am the working parent in my family and was recently freaked out by some lay-offs, so I started trying to diversify - I am not actually making any money, but I am about breaking even for my own products:). Anyway, I just started trying the Watkins night cream and it's OK. It's not my favorite ever - sort of waxy feeling. I probably won't get it again, but I wouldn't recommend AGAINST it.

I have used Olay products (including the less pricey "originals") and liked them well enugh. I also liked a line Shiseido used to make & the classic Lancome moisturizers. Those are crazy expensive though.

Best bet in your budget is probably Avon or Olay. If you want something more natural, I have used Avalon Organics products (co-Q-10, I think) & was satisfied.

I've tried a ton of things, and those are the ones I likes. GOOD LUCK!

My daughter's dermatologist recommended DML which is a daily facial moisturizer with a SPF of 25. My mon and I both use it and love now as well. I order it from Drugstore.com.

Just remember you get what you pay for. Since you have acne prone skin you really need to use something with out Mineral Oil or any other kind of oil they clog the poors causing more acne. Arbonne has great Ance Products and products ment especially for Oily and acne prone skin. Since we DO NOT put mineral oil or any other Additives/fillers the products are very concentrated so they last longer then most OTC products. I have PM'd you with a link to my web site for more information.

I have acne too so I use Vivite` which has spf 30 and glycolic for skin like ours. I think it's more than your price range, though.

As many moms have suggested I like a lot of the Olay products.
However, I found they leave my face a little more shiny than I like.
I would recommend the aveeno positively radiant spf 30. Moisturizes well, and I have skin like yours and know it won't make you break out!

I use Clinque's moisturizer. It works great, but it's a tad bit over $15. It lasts me awhile for a bottle of it too. I have very very very sensitive skin and its the only one I found that works on me. I don't get much acne, but I haven't noticed it giving me anymore.

Mary Kay has a few good products. Not sure how severe your acne is but that have an acne spot treatment which is $7. If it's not severe it may be a matter of using the right formula for your skin. We have a Timewise line that has age-fighting along with SPF 25 in the day solution and a moisturizer with SPF 15. You can use together. The full set gives you cleanser, day and night solution, and moisturizer for $90. For just the cleanser and moisturizer with SPF 15 is $40. You can always earn for free by having a party but can purchase full price as well. I've been a consultant for almost 9 years and have been using Mary Kay since I was 17. I'm now 31 and was mistaken for a 25 yr old a couple of weeks ago. I am definitely a result of Mary Kay's products and if you chose to try and decide they aren't for you then we also have a100% satisfaction guarantee. You can get with a consultant in your area or I can always mail samples and talk you through it over the phone.

You have great recommendations for moisturizers. But I discovered a wonderful little blemish stick that works overnight on the basic acne outbreaks. It's from Burt's Bees. It is called Parsley Blemish Stick. I get it at the drug store.

Roc deep wrinkle anti wrinkle cream. They have a day time one with 30SPF and a night time with zero SPF. I am also acne prone, but I find that the retinal in the moisturizer is almost as helpful as retinA for acne. It cost about $22 and can be found at Walgreens.
