Acne prone skin moisturizer

[Anonymous]

I am looking for a daly moisturizer for my acne prone skin.
What is good to use and waht's not?

My derm says Purpose brand.

Also try Clean & Clear Daily Pore Cleanser - has microbeads that really help slough off (gently) blackheads that could lead to pimples.

I switched to Oil of Olay Complete Sensitive lotion. It's great too.

I'd stay away from Department store brand lotions - all of them. They all make me break out. Sometimes cheaper is better, especially in this case. Also, Neutrogena sucks.

Not OP but doesn't oil clog pores?

I went to the dermatologist recently and he recommended CeraVe for acne prone skin - there is an AM and PM version. Love it so far.

Purpose daily moisturizer

I've tried expensive cosmetic counter brands but find that plain old unscented Lubriderm is the least likely to make my skin break out.

No, quite the opposite. It's great for cleaning and moisturizing.

Clinique acne moisterizer. changed my life. I have no acne and I suffered with bad acne until finding this 2 years ago (I'm 43). Now I have no acne and my skin is completely clear. I use their acne regimen. I tried to stray once...acne came back with a quickness. Wish I'd found out about it in my 20s.

Aveeno's face moisturizers are rather awesome. Agreed on the department store ones.

What about skin that is also dry but acne prone?

What consists of the "acne regimen"? I'd love to try.

I think it's a matter of finding the right moisturizer for you.
I use Neutrogena Oil-free Moisture, spf 15. My skin has been perfectly clear since I started using that.

OP, what are you washing with? I've also started using an oil free facial cream cleanser. These two products have really helped me.
