Eucerin: Eucerin is a good choice for people who can't stand normal greasy feeling moisturizers.

Many choices: Try daily moisturizers that are less greasy like kiehls, cetaphil, neutrogena and eucerin. However, think hydration from the inside and drink a lot more water 8-10 glasses minimum/day. Also, consider oral/dietary hyaluronic acid which has been shown to help with dry skin...And wrinkles. Good luck.
