Hey guys! So I have been using the cerave sa moisturizer for awhile now, I've been through 3 bottles. I have slowly but I think surely gotten my moderate to severe acne somewhat more controlled, but the biggest problem I am having right now are these little whitish skin colored bumps that are on my forehead and a good portion of my chin and cheeks. When I don't have makeup on, they aren't really visible, but I can feel them if I run my hand across where they are. When I put makeup on, they look 10 times worse. I have pretty bad hyperpigmentation from my acne so going without makeup isn't an option right now. I have been doing some research and I think the cerave might be causing this clogging. I need to find a good moisturizer that won't break me out. I am EXTREMELY senstive to any ingredients like almond oil or any kind of oil, fruit extracts, essential oils, and fragrance. I really need just a straight forward moisturizer... if such thing even exists? Any recommendations would be GREATLY appreciated! I also use the cerave hydrating cleanser... I don't know if this might be causing some of this as well? Any recommendations for that are welcome as well!

Thanks! :)

I recommend you La Roche Posay moisturizer " Effaclar MAT " for oily/acne prone skin. (Oil-free, non comedogenic, but with fragance)

Try the Simple range its the blue bottle you want and not the green one. Found it to be quite good. I wouldn't get Nivea oil control its a little white and green tube/box. Makes your face quite greasy looking. Good luck :)
