I am currently 5 months pregnant. I have a serious acne problem that has gotten worse now that I am pregnant. I am trying to find a oil free moisturizer to use in order to keep my face from overdying. What are the best ones to use and where can I learn more informatikon about the ingredients that they contain?

I've used many different so-called "oil-free" moisturizers while treating acne. So far, my favourite is Murad Skin Perfecting Lotion. You can get it easily from murad.com or Sephora stores. Good luck :)

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.
Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

Avon has an excellent oil free moisturizer and Olay Regenerist Moisture is awesome because not only does it help with the dry skin but it also repairs the skin damage caused by acne.

I use the Proactive Moisturizer which is excellent. I use all of the products and they work great. I know you need to use any "noncomodogenic" products. That means ususally oil free, will not clog pores. Good luck.

I strongly suggest Pro-Active. I LOVE the stuff. (but check with your doctor since you are pregnant) and if he says it's okay... get this product. I used Clean and Clear for years and it did nothing. I still had discoloration and pimples and oily skin.
Pro-Active cleared that completely in 3 weeks and I was extremely doubtful at first but I've been using it every since. And I hate paying more than $2 for anything but for this stuff. It's worth it.
Plus it's not overly greasy and will leave your face nourished. And it's only 3 easy steps.

vitamin A, it is one of the best treatments, with the pregnancy check with your doctor, who can best advise you on the subject and prescribe a proper cream.

vaseline, it doesn't feel nice but it doesn't clog pores and it moisturizes well
