I want to get a new facial moisturizer that is paraben free, as natural as possible, but works! Recommendations? I have very dry skin, but that is also prone to blackheads, so non-comedogenic is important.

I use avalon organics vitamin C stuff. I have the face cream, eye cream and the sunscreen cream too. It's not cheap but I make it last a long time. I like it because it's 100% vegetarian and they don't test on animals, and paraben free is a must too for me.

I have no advice, but I wanted to say when I saw this from the main board I read it as "looking for a new face"

I don't know about natural stuff. I use this and love it, but for all I know it's poison.

I heard olay discolors your skin. I use neutrogena healthy skin face lotion.
It's intense, not for pregnant women, but it works and doesn't cause breakouts. Def. not 'natural. But I like it.

thanks! Cheryl, I'm going to see if I can find that stuff locally! If not, I'll search for a store in Atlanta since I'll be there in a few weeks, and I already have a list of stuff I want to get that is hard to find up here

I use the BareEscentuals RareMinerals Moisturizer.. (and face wash, primer, eye revver-upper, make-up.. and anything else I find, too ). The site says: "A paraben-free, RareMinerals-enriched moisturizer made with a new generation of active minerals from rare, virgin soil."

thanks girls! I emailed the Ontario distributor listed on Avalon's site, and the sales rep emailed me back, there's a store in the market downtown, a few blocks from where I work, that sells it along with a bunch of other natural lines  I guess I was just never looking for that stuff when I'm in there, we go get lunch there sometimes. Mmmmm now I want thai food from my fave spot there
