Can anybody recommend a good moisturiser for acne prone skin?

Answer 1

I would say Dermalogica have some of the BEST products around. They cater for all different skin types and conditions. I use a Dermalogica oil control moisturiser and find it great.

Dermalogica don't sell over the counter, you have to go to a salon and no therapist should sell the products without a free consultation (this is to meet the individual needs of the client). They have a special consultaion technique called "face mapping" to get the best results possible!

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

Answer 3

Try using something natural. I use Manuka honey! It is found in some supermarkets like Tescos and most health shops. Just spread it over the area, you can add some warm water to make it more runny. It is very medicinal, provides a barrier and is anti-bacterial. Great to eat or have in drinks as well. I find spots clear much quicker if I use this honey. Many websites where you can find information, just google it.

Answer 4

I've used Oil of Olay for a while until I got a gift card at a department store and went to my favorite makeup counter - CLINIQUE - and tried several new items. One of which was their moisturizer (yellow pump bottle) and then got a free gift that included an even better moisturizer (Moisture Surge). All three I've tried works, but I like CLINIQUE better. With using a good moisturizer, be sure to get a good cleanser as well.

Answer 5

Clean and Clear daily moisturiser is good, it's about £3.29 but worth it even though its not that large a tube. I use it every day and night and it moisturises but doesn't make my skin greasy at all!
