I have never tried the 2 you have listed but I know exactly what you mean about your skin not being able to tollerate most moisturisers.
Jojoba Oil works best for me.
I would get samples if you can before you buy.

Hi Redhead,

The Phytomer Hydracontinue line is awesome for hydration but the face lotions were all too rich for my skin. I'd describe it also as not tolerating moisturizers very well and use jojoba like rosebud. I do love their hydracontinue hand lotion, though.

I love, love, love NA-PCA spray with aloe by Twinlabs. I am not kidding when I say it is, hands down, the best thing I've ever used on my typically oily, with fine lines skin. It moisturizes without clogging pores and has almost completely alleviated my fine lines. It makes my skin look like normal skin. I can't believe I didn't try it sooner. I got mine at Whole Foods. It is inexpensive and will last forever. Try it out. You can't lose. Make sure it's the one with aloe.

I havent tried either of those but I've been tempted by the moisturizing dew. I have combo skin that reacts to EVERYTHING...even jojoba...and the only moisturizers I can use are Estee Lauder Daywear Plus, Cetephil and L'Occitane(only used samples so not sure about how my skin would do over time).

I use the phytomer hydracontinue instant moisture cream for normal to combo skin. I'm also very sensitive and reactive to products and found that moisturizer to be really good for me. I recently got a sample of thalgo bio-protective cream and didn't have any reactions from it either.

I haven't tried the DDF oil-free. It is on my list, but I'm too broke to buy much right now

What about just olive squalene? Like a serum. Seems to be light. Maybe with some hyaluronic acid. Some rose or geranium water hydrosol.

This co. sells a oil free moisturizer spray that works very well. It hydrates and gets rid of that tight dry feeling I get in my face, without any oil or grease. http://www.zenbiotic.com

I'm looking for something a little more rich now though cause even though I break out I have really dry skin. It's a difficult combination. The dry skin is causing bad skin texture and fine lines, and yet anything intensive causes breakouts for me. Frustrating.
