Looking for recommendation for best daily moisturize for my face

Hello, I am looking for a recommendation for the best daily moisturizer for my face - here is a little background: 25 year old female, caucasian, extremely fair skin with freckles (blond / red hair), with very pink cheeks, family history of skin cancer (paternal grandfather), extremely dry skin in general (I only use Eucerin shower oil- no soap, eucerin lotion after showering, and carmol for keratosis pilaris). I have always had delicate skin and regularly use Oil of Olay SPF 30 sensitive skin daily moisturizer but I am still getting dry & red patches on my face. What would be the best over the counter lotion I can use on my face and / or what should I be looking for in a daily moisturizer?

Thanks!

I have very sensitive skin too.  The only product that works for me is
Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer with a SPF of 15---it says on the bottle "clinically proven to visibly reduce redness, soothe irritated or sensitive skin."
It is a small bottle (4oz) and it runs about $14 at Target, but it lasts a long time and it healed my blotchy red patches plus I have not had any allergic reaction to it.  Try it.

Hello,
For sensitive skin, you should wash your face with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Pat your face dry. Then apply a good hypoallergenic moisturizer like Aveeno or Cetaphil over the area and keep it well moisturized.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
