Moisturizer for Combo-Acne Prone skin?

Question

I use Acne-Free and have combo-acne prone skin...any suggestions on good moisturizers? I'd like SPF but usually any products I use with SPF makes me break out.

The only moisturizer I've ever really liked was Lancome's Impactive but they've discontinued it.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

I've had kids with acne. The best thing we have found is washing your face 3 or 4 times a day with ivory soap. Using alcohol to get rid of oils. Then using a hemorrhoid ointment to dry up and shrink the pimples. Talk to your doctor about taking a low dose antibiotic once a day for a month as pimples are an infection. Do not touch your face during the day. Never squeeze pimples as they become huge open holes in later life. My children have no acne scars although their faces were like pizza.

The best product you should use is the
Arbonne Clear advantage system.
It fights Acne from inside out. I was on birth control and when I got off it, I broke like like crazy. My best friend who's been using Arbonne International for years told me about it and now, I get lots of complements on my skin and it boost my self confident. I am now a consultant and helping people. Go to www.arbonne.com and check out the products, read the ingredients (it is water based and all botanical), I have tried proactive, aveda, clinique, and you name it, but Arbonne as worked and prevents future breakouts.

Also, you can become a consultant and get the products extremely cheap and also start helping people like yourself. It is very rewarding. I know my clients call me and say thanks for saving their skin care roller coaster.

Answer 5

Clinique's Oil Free Dramatically Different Moisturizer is very mild.

Regarding sunscreen, I get a really weird allergic reaction to them. My skin wrinkles up like an orange and gets really itchy. Before going out in the sun, I use a hyperallergenic sun block. Sun blocks use titanium dioxide or instead of PABA. They aren't as invisible as a sunscreen (they leave a slightly white layer) but do a great job. Nutragena makes a hypoallergenic one for your face, and any products for babies should be good for the rest of your body.

Answer 6

Try Jafra Cosmetics Royal Jelly moisturizer. It comes in a formula for sensitive skin; it can be expensive, but if you hold a skin care class for a consultant, you can get it FREE!!!

Answer 7

I'm acne prone, I use Garnier Pure A (the blue ones), and Nivea Young. I know for a fact the Nivea one has SPF in it and is anti shine, so it keeps the oiliness down, but the Garnier one is antibacterial and will calm the zits down.

Answer 8

AVEDA has an acne skin care line that is spectacular called outer piece.

Answer 9

THE BEST
Its been proven
is called ACNEFREE you can get it almost anywhere and it works great for everyone i know who uses it

My best advice is never mix products!
