i was using Avalon Vit C w/ SPF 15, its good but really greasy.
i use that when ill be outside alot, but i have the Avalon Vit C serum, good but doesnt really last long (im not even sure if its a moisturizer or not)
what's good with an SPF in it, but wont make my face look like a shiny bowling ball? |

Peter Thomas Roth All Day Moisture Defense Cream with SPF20.
I have tried it on my comb/oily skin and isn't that greasy at all.
If you are very oily try
Peter Thomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Moisture Defense Lotion with SPF30
if you want a good vitaminC serum, try Viver VitaminC 10%, it on my to order list.

Roboto,
Personally if I wanted to be assured that my skin was actually getting a decent concentration of vitamin C then I would go for a serum not for a combo product (which I assume the Avalon Vit C w/ SPF 15 is). I don't know much about the Avalon Vit C serum itself but if it is a stable one with a decent concentration then use it up. Otherwise I would recommend Skinceuticals or Vivier as a good choice.
Btw, vitamin C serums are not moisturisers and you will need to use moisturiser (and preferably SPF) over it. If you are looking for a good SPF then the Skinceuticals Ultimate UV Defence is a good one. I really like Dermalogica Sheer Tint Moisture SPF15 as well for a tinted moisturiser with SPF.

| Murad has a wonderful oil-free sunblock for the face. It has anti-oxidants in it and collagen boosters. It also has a very sheer tint for just a hint of color. I use that during the day as a moisturizer & then use their skin perfecting lotion (oil-free) at night. I have been using it for about a year and am very happy with the results. If you are prone to break out or get shiny, you might want to give them a try. |

PS - I agree with Mabsy about the vitamin C treatments. You should use a treatment under your moisturizer instead of a moisturizer with vitamin C in it. Also make sure that the Vitamin C treatment is active & stabilized. Many companies make vitamin C products that end up oxidizing in the container before you ever even put it on your skin. Make sure it is in an air-free "pump" type container or in a stabilized serum. Be sure to keep it out of the heat & light.
Also, if you are fair skinned or sensitive skin, you may not be able to tolerate the Vitamin C treatments & it may make you break out or get red patches. In that case, only use the Vitamin C every-other day until your skin adjusts.
Good luck! |

I'll recommend the product that I'm using right now which is the Linacare brand. It's worked well for me so far...they have both a body and face cream and it's not greasy. no kidding 
I really like it...but I don't think much people have heard about it yet. But here's the websitewww.linacare.com
I'm using it religiously now 
Good luck Roboto
