Skin care - what would you recommend?

I have combo skin (very oily t-zone, break out easily). I have a few lines on my forehead and fine lines around my eyes.

I know the eye cream I want to get, now I have to decide what to do about my face.

I tried Olay regenerist micro-sculpting serum and that did NOTHING. Such a waste of $$.

I had used something previously by L'Oreal and liked it but it did nothing for the lines in my forehead.

It MUST have SPF in it and be very light in terms of moisturizing.

Can anyone help?

From what I know from my dermatologist and what I have read (now that I'm 30 I am so afraid of getting older and developing lines and wrinklesChat Icon Chat Icon ) once you have lines and wrinkles it's impossible to get rid of them without botox or surgery, but if you use anti aging creams, especially the ones that are silicone based it will fill in the lines .
Retinol creams and alpha hydroxy creams + SPF are great for preventing lines from getting deeper and preventing new lines forming and also temporary smooth the lines . Plus they are also great against breakouts.
Neutrogena makes a night cream with retinol, just started using it 2 weeks ago and I like it. I have also been using Olay regenerist moisturizer with SPF for few years now and love it. But since you are not happy with Olay maybe try Roc ? I hear great things about it.
Oh and my dermatologist also told me that drugstore creams are just as good (and sometimes better ) as more expensive brands they sell in bigger stores, so he told me to save my money and just get something at CVS or one of those places Chat Icon

I have the clarins cream in the light blue tub SPF 15. and the night one in the dark blue tub. I really like them , not too heavy. I tried la mer but it did nothing for me and had no spf.

what eye cream are you thinking? I use the clarins eye cream in the white tube w/ red writing
