What are you using for moisturizing your face daily????

 

[MomofKatie]

I use Mary Kay Oil Control lotion- it is a light moisturizer but actually controls oily breakthrough while moisturizing. I love it- it is great for under makeup. I put it on before bed, and after cleansing in the morning.

Mario Badescu aloe spf 15

Cetaphil with spf 15 - recommended by my dermatologist and not very expensive, available at CVS, Target, etc.

 

[CathrynRose]

Straight Vitamin E lotion - found at CVS, Walgreens, etc.

It's the ONLY thing that doesn't make me break out - and as an added bonus, clears up any brown 'scarring' you might get from Acne.

And if it doesnt work for you, it's like $3.

Thats for your face??? Is it oil free???

Looks like it contains mineral oil:
Water, Tocopheryl Acetate, Mineral Oil, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Isopropyl Palmitate, Triethanolamine, Disodium EDTA, Dimethicone, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

That being said, not all acne is caused by oil - for a while I was washing with Castor & Jojoba twice a week and it really did nice things for unclogging pores. You can google the oil cleaning method (OCM) for more info. I think I'll actually start that up again soon.

It's for whatever you want it to be for.

I don't know how old you are or how bad it is but the only thing that keeps me clear is a drug called Spironolactone. I've been taking it since high school and break out every time I try going off it. It's actually a diuretic but the side effect is clear skin because it's a testosterone blocker. Every woman I've known that has been put on Spironolactone has cleared up! Just a thought!

Good luck!
