Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone had this problem, too. I have tried so many store bought moisturizers, and literally all of them clog my pores, which usually leads to break outs. I've tried a several of Neutrogena's moisturizers, Cerave, Cetaphil, and some CVS brand ones. After a couple of uses, sometimes longer, I start to notice a lot of clogged pores, even in places I don't normally get them. Could I be applying moisturizer wrong, or something? My skin is so dry and flaky from benzoyl peroxide, and the only moisturizer that effectively moisturized was Cetaphil, but it broke me out after 2 uses. I know it's the moisturizers doing this because benzoyl peroxide has basically completely cleared my skin, I've been using it for 2 months.
What moisturizers do people use that TRULY don't break you out or clog your pores? I'm just at a loss at this point. I hate to keep spending money and trying my products just for them to fail over and over again. Should I look to more expensive stuff? Should I see a dermatologist about my extremely clog prone skin? It's just getting ridiculous, I don't understand why my skin is this sensitive. Should I just accept that every moisturizer does this to me and just deal with the extra mild acne and the severe flaking? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks for the suggestions. Are these moisturizers very moisturizing? I do also have a problem where a lot of moisturizers just don't do anything for the excessive flaking I get, which probably makes my skin condition worse.
I'll try these both out after Dan's moisturizer doesn't work for me. Has anyone here tried the Acne.org moisturizer from Dan?
