I have had acne since teenagerhood until I cleaned up my diet and started using all natural products, no chemicals, etc.
My understanding is that a lot of the usual moisturizers use mineral oil which clogs the pores. For me, sure enough, if I use any of these, I will break out, but if I stay away from that and use things with shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, etc. my face does not break out. My skin has gotten drier as I have gotten older as well and I do feel the need for moisturizer now. Here are some kinds I have used if that is helpful. The problem I have found with some of the natural moisturizers is that some of them don't seem to do much. These are the ones I have fount most helpful. C & Co Naturals: both of these are expensive but they last a very long time, 6 months or more Facial serium: https://candconaturals.com/collectio...e-facial-serum (I actually bought my own essential oils and make my own version of this to save money) Lavender cold cream: https://candconaturals.com/collectio...der-cold-cream Epicuren:http://epicuren.com/Moisturizers/Hyd...turizer_2.html I get facials sometimes as well and this helps a lot with moisture. I go to an aesthetician that uses more natural products as well. |

Some moisturizers that have worked for me - the Cetaphil Redness Reilef that Sherry mentioned, also the Differin moisturizer....I was using Differin gel for awhile but i'm currently taking a break from it. I used to use Cerave but now whenever I use it I end up getting a lot of clogged pores...it is weird b/c I never had that problem before. I used Simone France a few years ago and I was toying with going back to that, but I hate to spend a lot on beauty products since in essence they are all variations of the same formulas....still, when I used it I had decent results. I would probably use the normal/slightly dry now as opposed to the normal/oily. Definitely frustrating to have wrinkles and acne/breakouts..... Donna |

I am in my mid 40s in the midst of Perimenopause and my skin bounces back and forth between scaly dry and hormonal breakouts. I am sensitive to most products and moisturizers break me out. I have tried many natural products. While switching to a WFPB diet made my skin glow, it didn't get rid of the sensitivity or hormonal breakouts. I've been using Deciem The Ordinary's anti-aging regimen and it has changed my skin texture and seems to be aging backwards. My routine is AM - after cleansing: Buffet (or Matrixyl & Argiriline), Marine Hyaluronics, followed by Natural Moisturizing Factors. PM- after cleansing: Buffet, Retinoid 2% in Squalane followed by Hemi Squalane or Cold Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil and Natural Moisturizing Factors. When I start to breakout I use their Niacinimide and it clears everything up within 1 day. I am impressed with their products, prices, and ingredients.
