After you cleanse/tone and treat then you need to moisturize!  Every face needs moisturizer - even the oily ones!  If people with oily skin do not moisturize then the skin will produce even more oil.  The benefits of moisturizer are endless.  They can be formulated for your skin, and many now have anti-aging properties.  If you are a skin care buff then treatments (the 2nd step) will work faster for aging problems, but moisturizers will also have some key anti-aging ingredients. 

You can use the same moisturizer in the AM and PM or get a different one for each (they do not have to be from the same group).  Do not get more than one moisturizer to use at one time.  You can combine treatments (see my other guide), but not moisturizers. 

Here is a guide to all the Avon moisturizers available, what key ingredients they contain, and what the retail price is.  "A Guide To Skincare Ingredients" (here) has the definition of the different ingredients.  On average the products will last you 3 months.  Now it's up to you to decide which one you would like to try!
