Adding some oil to Cerave cream for my face

[Anonymous]

The dryer air plus dropping hormone levels is making my skin dryer and dryer. I add some body oil to my body lotion so I was we wondering what oil I could add to my face cream without clogging my pores.

I wouldn't. Try a richer face cream. Dr Rogers has a thick one I use in winter. Somebody on here yold me about the brand.

I use the Kiehls version, which has similar ingredients (squaline)

I add a few drops of The Ordinary’s squalene oil to my cetaphil moisturizer. I do it every fall - winter; no issues.

I was going to suggest the same, except that I’d add The Ordinary’s hyaluronic acid serum to your regular moisturizer. Can’t go wrong with either!

Thanks everyone. I do have some squaline oil in my bathroom so I'll try a few drops of that first. I'm sensitive to any cream/lotion with any acids, etc.

Vitamin C oil applied to my face first has done wonders. I let it set in for a few minutes before applying makeup.

Maybe switch up your cleanser instead? Try something like Albolene and follow with Cerave.

Are we supposed to add it first or second? I’ve been putting it over my moisturizer. I use Cetaphil.

It's technically for the eye area, but you can use it anywhere. It's very emollient and hydrating, but not greasy. I apply it to my dry areas after I use my regular moisturizer.

I apply oil first, then moisturizer. I view it as moisturizer locks it in.

Conventional wisdom is oil always goes last to seal in the moisturizer or other treatments.

It's great stuff! Try it anywhere that your skin is really dry and thank me later.
