Face Moisturizer for sensitive skin help

TheBr...@gmail.com
Hi all. I'm a man with fairly sensitive skin & scalp looking for a
good face moisturizer.
I have been using H2O face oasis which in many ways I LOVE: thin gel
in a jar so no drying/clumping, non–greasy application, absorbs
instantly, has light to no scent, and generally looks and feels great.
Unfortunately I do get red patches for a while after using it so I
would like to try some alternatives (maybe H2O has a gentler
alternative?). In particular, I'm looking for unisex or men's face
moisturizers for sensitive skin that use natural ingredients as much as
possible (I've had good luck with more natural products in other
areas).
I have only tried a couple natural alternatives so far but found that
they used a lot of shea butter which is I think what made them heavy
and greasy on my skin long after applying them. Any ideas for all
natural or very gentle products that are not so heavy and greasy, that
absorb well, don't clump, and are not too feminine smelling?

You might want to check out Complex 15 face cream. Unscented,
hypoallergenic, etc. It's a drugstore item; you can check it out on
drugstore.com.
Cetaphil also makes a moisturizing face cream and/or lotion.
(I never had a bad reaction from either of these products. They aren't
greasy.)

You might want to try Eucerin. They have a number of facial lotions
for sensitive skin and even ones to reduce redness.
I'm using the Extra Protective lotion w/ SPF 30 and I haven't reacted
to it at all, unlike most products when my skin initially adjusts to
them.

Eucerin and Cetaphil are both excellent. My son has very sensitive skin
and he uses Cetaphil. It works great for him.

I have somewhat sensitive skin, and I like Clinique moisturizers.
Specifically, the Moisture Surge.
I try to avoid products with "natural" ingredients, because as gentle as
the packaging might make them sound, too many of them are irritating to
my skin.
