Moisturizer Suggestions?

I need help. I have been using a tube of Curel lotion to help with my increasingly dry face. This winter it seemed to do the trick. But now that the weather is warmer and more humid the lotion is greasy on my face - and causing breakouts! I do not want to go back to using pricey Clinique lotion mostly because it didn't help with the dryness. Does anyone have a suggestion for a facial moisturizer that is not greasy but effective against dryness and won't break the bank? I'd rather not spend a lot but I do have a Macy's gift card if someone loves a product from a department store. Thanks!

I use aloe for mositurizing

I've used it on my face after too much sun, and it worked great. It also helps with the dry area along my nose I seem to have.

facial moisturizer

I use Oil of Olay Complete, "normal" SPF 15. I get it at the discount store and try to get it when a $1 off coupon comes out. Dermatologist recommends it and it's perfect for my still gets oily skin, and I am pushing 50! NOn comodomic, it won't cause breakouts, it's light. I just use it on my cheeks and neck. I don't think I ever spend more than $6/bottle for it.

Pond's Cold Cream. I have used it for over 20 years. Before that I just put Vaseline on my face, but not my forehead since it was always oily.

I use Oil of Olay.

I have dry skin. I only use it in the morning as a base for my Bare Minerals make-up. I used to use only it and then put face powder over it. It is not oily or greasy and has an SPF of 15 or 30.

In the winter, once in a while my skin will get very, very dry so I will use a heavier cream for a while (and only at night).

I am 57 and I really don't have any wrinkles. Some say it is because the fat fills them out but I like to think the Oil of Olay did that.

Thanks everyone for all the good info. I'm off to do some label reading and shopping - it's great to have some reasonably priced options.
