Until I order Dans Regimen Kit from the site, I’ve been products for the time being. One new item I purchased today was Neutrogena's Visibly Clear Oil-Free Moisturiser.

Because my skin has been flaking up recently and reacting to my past moisturiser, I decided it was time to purchase a new one. This is the first time I’ve used it, and I have to say up to now it is has been great! Whereas before I would have a stinging sensation and red marks because of my old moisturiser reacting with the BP, this feels refreshing on my face and neck and doesn't make me come out in red marks!

It's only been the first day so I don't know how good it will be through the day, but I’ll post in a couple of days to let you know.

I've been using this moisturiser for nearly a week and it seems to make my skin more oily if anything. It goes on well, but that's the only good thing I have to say about it.

I love the stuff, next best thing to the DK moisturisier IMO

I've been using this moisturiser for a few years now and find it really good. Before I started using bp underneath it, I did find it made my t-zone oily but have found a big difference.

Does anyone here with sensitive skin use this Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisturiser with the regimen? (i.e. with lots of BP)

I started to use it recently but had to stop because it stung a lot. My theory is that it's because it contains Salicylic Acid, which can be irritating when used with BP, particularly on sensitive skin.

Having said that, the stinging could just have been because I was extremely dry at the time, due to the new acne.org moisturiser being a major disappointment, and leaving me searching for an alternative (still gutted about that - the old formula was fine for me...)

Yes, I have sensitive skin and have been using it after applying BP, for the past few days. Before I was using BP only to spot treat, but I was prescribed iron tablets not long ago which I think caused a break out, so because of that and because it was making my skin oily I've been using it with all over BP underneath. I definitely feel the sting, but it's not really bad or anything. The issue with my skin now though is dryness and flaking. I've noticed my skin looking better in general since upping BP usage, but it's not the right balance combined with this moisturiser. It obviously works better for some than others.

Just don't know what to do sometimes. Perhaps with the BP and Salicylic Acid it's a bit too harsh for my skin, and the weather is probably a contributing factor this time of year too. So, i think i'm going to finish the tube i've got, using a bit less BP, then find a non comedogenic moisturiser without Salicylic Acid. I was using Simple Light Hydrating before. Does anyone know any other good ones we can buy here?

The salicylic acid will not cause further irritation/stinging if any thing it will prevent it. The ph is too high in the product for the SA to possibly irritate, instead this will cause it to act as an anti-irritant.
