Hey Lovelyish readers!

I’m submitting a post in order to ask for some advice. I am currently using the Aveeno Clear Complexion moisturizer. I love it and have been using it for two years. It’s perfect for my combination type skin and has definitely done all the bottle claims it can do. However, my only complaint is that it is a little above my budget, as in it costs $15.00 for a 4oz. bottle. However, the bottle typically lasts me about three months.

I’m asking for advice because I have been looking to replace my bottle of moisturizer, but with the coming school year, I am trying to save some money and find a new moisturizer (Oh, textbooks– why are you so expensive?). I have looked around, read reviews, and done an extensive amount of research.

My answer? St. Ives Collagen Elastin Facial Moisturizer! Most of the reviews I have read are positive and since their products are not tested on animals nor contain parabens/phthalates, it really appeals to me.

I haven’t actually tried it and I am wondering if any Lovelyish readers have used this product and what their impression of it is. I would really appreciate any feedback!
