Update on my skin dilemma. -_-

I hate my skin. :(

Just last week, I bought myself a new moisturizer as seen in my haul post. It was Biore Shine Control Moisturizer, and as what I've said in my other post ages ago, my skin has been really dry. Man I'm stupid, I bought a moisturizer which is formulated for oily skin. Yes, my skin's oily when it's humid, or when I'm sweating and under the sun. But I've observed that my skin gets very dry when I'm inside an airconditoned room. To make it worse, all the classes I go to everyday are rooms with aircon, which sucks. I feel like my whole face is dry, especially around my nose and mouth, sometimes my cheeks and forehead.

I'm thinking about getting another moisturizer, I'm still gonna be using my Biore one, but this time it's gonna be my day moisurizer. Now I'm torn between two products which I could use as my night moisturizer. These are readily available here in Davao that's why I'm stuck with two options. Here they are:

I don't know if you could see the 2nd picture, but that's the St. Ives Collagen Elastin. The 1st one's the Ponds Dry Skin Cream. So has any of you tried these 2 products? Any comment? Negative feedback? Anything? Please help me girls. :(

Thanks ladies. :)

  3. i used to use the st. ives moisturizer - it was better for me in the summer because it goes on really light, but my skin was oilier in the summer...in the winter my skin dries out more (lower humidity/indoor heat) so it didn't really do as great of a job. the pond's cream might be a better option for dry skin

  5. I used to use the Ponds one. (: I liked it. My sister said it reminded her of old-lady cream though. haha It can be kind of thick at times so if you're gonna put make up on you REALLY gotta let it dry. I usually used that one for night time (: idk about the 2nd one though
