I've been on accutane for a month and now that my skin is no longer producing copious amounts of sebum, I can tell that my cetaphil lotion leaves my face shiny. What moisturizer/cream/lotion is better in that it will leave my face looking matte? I've heard good things about cerave, is that less shiny? Cream or lotion? Thanks.

I was recommended Cetaphil too but Cerave is the best right now. It's not as effective as Cetaphil but it absorbs very quickly and has no shine.

Is that the cream or the lotion?

Thanks for the help. I used CeraVe cream for the first time today and it's 100% better. My face isn't shiny at all. It definitely absorbs more thouroughly than the cetaphil, which is probably why the cetaphil left a greasy film.

Yeah Cetaphil is pretty terrible. It may work for some but it just leaves me a greasy mess.

 

I use grapeseed oil after hearing about someone who had super sensitive skin and it was all she could use. I would seriously not trade it for any man-made chemically based moisturizer in the world. :P Never thought I would be one of those "all natural organic nuts" but that's meeee.

So the CeraVe burns and I noticed it has alcohol in it? Wtf? Did I get the wrong kind?
