Looking for facial moisturizer suggestions that will relieve redness (lemmy.world)

I moved to a really cold and dry climate which has made my cheeks light up like a christmas tree. I've always lived in humid cities so this isn't something I've had to think about.

Anyone have suggestions on reasonably priced moisturizers that could help out? I checked out Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream, but at $60+, I'd like to check if any comparable alternatives exist at a lower cost.

Jojoba oil. I recommend getting it pure and not mixed with other ingredients.

I started using this for my face when I lived with very dry and cold winters. Liked it so much that it's replaced moisturizers for me basically permanently despite moving away from those brutal winters. It's amazing because it doesn't clog pores and cause breakouts, and it absorbs into my beard and keeps things from being itchy.

Jojoba oil seems a very good suggestion, certainly cold pressed. I might try that.

Thank you for the suggestion!
