I second this, especially the coconut oil. I love it so much. Not greasy at all. Also great for the hair and eyelashes.

Therex, thank you for pointing out that some companies still test on animals. I don't want to start a big debate, and I know it's to each their own, but I see no way to justify animal testing for vanity. None.
And yes, some companies do take advantage of test results from back in the day, and yes, it is difficult to find products with ingredients that have never been tested by anyone, but please have a think before you buy and be a caring consumer, and try to support brands with values other than just money grabbing.

I also use Clinique Dramatically Different. Actually, I do the three step system and my skin is much improved. It's a little more expensive, like others have mentioned, but my last bottle lasted 6 months. I do wish the packaging made it a little easier to get that last bit out though.

Re: animal testing, I was under the impression that Clinique didn't? They're on Peta's safe list, at least, which is part of the reason I switched to them from Neutrogena.

I use an Olay moisturizer. I don't remember the exact name - Complete I think? It's got spf and is really light. I hate feeling gunk on my face, and I totally can't feel this stuff. Plus it's like $6, which fits nicely in my college student budget

I like Cetaphil's daily moisturizer with SPF 15. It's simple, not greasy, and gives me the perfect amount of moisture. I also love exfoliating with sugar....I mix it with my facewash (I use cetaphil for that too) and scrub it into my skin. The combination of that and the moisturizer makes a huge difference in my skin. I think the moisturizer works better because its able to get to my skin (past all the dead cells) better.

I tried the Clinique one a lot of people love and it made me break out with these little bumps all over my face...it was gross.

I second or third the Olay Sensitive Skin spf 15 daily moisturizer. I love it! I have very sensitive, oily, dry skin and it just rocks. Aveeno Ultra Calming SPF 15 is good too. Anything by Neutrogena causes me to break out or have major skin issues, but everyone is different.

I third the extra virgin olive oil. I usually use that on my whole body, including my face. During the day, I use Olay Complete for Combination skin (I'm prone to breakouts too).
