FA safe moisturizer?

Right now I use Authentic Ego Super Sensa (PM use) while I do like it I think it is causing me to breakout. Not FA breakout but regular pimples/acne. I also use Sovie Pavitt Gel but primarily for the AM.

I am looking for a new PM option that is barrier healing, FA Safe and Rosacea friendly.

Thoughts on which of these is best?

- Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream
- Curel Intensive Moisture Facial Cream
- Geek and Gorgeous Hydration Station

Skin barrier/clear skin journey..

I’m not sure what I’m trying to achieve with this post but hoping someone can relate because man it is exhausting!!

i struggle with fungal acne and rosacea, sometimes at the same time. My cheeks are always dry but my t-zone is more combination. Redness is my default.

I use FA safe products 90% of the time while simultaneously trying to hydrate my skin and keep my rosacea and associated bumps at bay. These skin conditions call for different care and products which is so challenging because they can counteract and cause the other one to flare.

i use

- Untoxicated cleanser (daily)

- Authentic Ego Super Sensa Moisturizer (PM daily)

- Sofie Pavvitt Gel Moisturizer (AM daily)

- Zinc Oxide (PM as needed if skin is irritated)

- Krave SPF - but I think this could be triggering my FA

I have a 15% prescription AA I use spot treatment or more recently I use over top of my moisturizer to help with inflammation.

I use very minimal products and each have been tested for triggering ingredients but yet I still can’t keep my skin happy. Im either having rosacea bumps, or I’m having irritation, or FA flare, or dryness. :(

any tips on how to combat these issues while maintaining a healthy barrier? I am at a loss.
