[product request] 6+ year La Mer lover looking for a second, more affordable moisturizer (thanks inflation🙄)

I (27F) never used moisturizer as a teen/young adult because it always left me extremely greasy, would break me out, or just never actually moisturized enough.

Years ago, I tried the La Mer Soft Cream moisturizer after I saw some YouTuber use it. I am not looking for any comments telling me that La Mer isn’t worth it… because it absolutely is! Absolute game changer, never oily, but always hydrated, smells amazing (favorite part of my day is putting it on!) and works well with my other skincare. (I use tret and dr Dennis gross peel pads so my skin requires a big drink of moisture)

Problem is inflation lol. I go through it pretty fast as I use it morning and night and because the cost of living has gone up it’s getting tight to buy the moisturizer every month or so. I don’t plan on removing it from my skincare lineup entirely, but just looking for a more economical moisturizer to add to my collection that I can use in the daytime most days and reserve my la mer for evenings and special occasions…. I bought la Laroche Posay and was extremely underwhelmed.

Does anyone have a mid price (like $60 or below) HOLY GRAIL moisturizer that they recommend?

Again please no la mer slander, and no, Nivea isn’t the same, especially not the same as the soft cream. But I haven’t even picked up another moisturizer in years so I feel like a lost child shopping for it, recs appreciated, doesn’t have to be a “dupe” just a good moisturizer I can fall in love with 💓💚
