Any oil free moisturizers?
I’ve been on a hunt for a moisturiser that doesn’t break me out or clog my pores. I’m extremely prone to closed comedones and I’ve been suffering with closed comedones for years now. I’m currently using Adapalene to get rid of them but I’ve realised most of the products I’ve used contributed to my pores getting clogged and I’ve been eliminating them slowly out of my routine. I’ve used so many moisturisers over the years but the only one that has worked for me so far is the Ordinary nmf + beta glucan moisturiser. I’m confident that my routine isn’t clogging my pores but it’s winter where I am and a gel moisturiser isn’t cutting it and something to keep my skin hydrated and moisturised
Here is a list of moisturisers I have tried that didn’t work for me:
Dr Althea 345 relief cream(new version)- gave me cystic acne
Dr Althea aqua marine cream- clogged my pores
Anua 100+ pdrn cream- gave me cystic acne
Krave beauty oat so simple water cream - clogged my pores
Purito oat in calming gel cream - clogged my pores
Naturie skin conditioning gel - congested my skin(left an oily film on top)
From doing a bit of research I’ve found that my skin is extremely reactive to oils and fatty acids. So I’m currently looking for a moisturizer that is completely free of oils and fatty acids especially squalane and coconut oil and its derivatives.
Any one with recommendations that could help me?
