Moisturizer for Acne prone skin

V2LUCKY · 02-13-2006, 12:46 AM #1 (**permalink**)

I got a facial the other day and the lady told me that I need to start using a moisturizer with SPF (I know I know I should be using it) well I have VERY acne prone skin and it's hard enough to find a moisturizer that doesn't break me out let alone one with SPF. Any recs?

I use Biotherm's Acnopur and also Proactiv's Oil Free Moisturiser with SPF 15. Both hasn't broke me out but I find Proactiv slightly oiler than Biotherm's. I use Biotherm under makeup and Proactiv on non makeup days.

Try Cosmedix, their line is a little expensive, but they make a spray-on SPF. Its the only all natural spray-on SPF on the market. My esthetician (I get regular oxygen facials for acne and to clear up my hyperpigmentation) recommended it to me and I love it. I use this as my moisturizer on oiler days and I use their Phyto Clear on days when I feel like I need a little more moisture. I spray this on as my last step, its perfect. I am so acne prone, and this works wonder for me.

Moisturiser with SPF generally turns my skin into an oilslick, but one that hasn't is M.D Formulations total protector for face & body SPF 30. You can get it in tinted and untinted and it generally keeps pretty matte even during the hot summer days when my skin is at its oiliest. You may want to try a sample to see if it won't aggravate your acne?

Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF 15. It's non-acnegenic and non-comedogenic. I am also acne-prone and this has worked great.

i use oil of olay daily moisturizer with spf 15. i just started using it, but my skin's been really blemish happy lately, and the olay hasn't given me any problems. i think it might actually be preventing some of those blemishes from happening

That spray sounds like a wonderful idea. I'll definitely look into getting it.

I've heard good things about Clean & Clear Oil-Free Dual Action Moisturizer. It has salicylic acid in it to help prevent acne.

I 3rd it! and trust me, I have tried everything else. from the most expensive to the least expensive. I still use my Dermologica cleanser, but Cetaphil moisturizer is the only thing that's worked for me in that category. (and not only is my skin acne-prone, but it's also very sensitive)
