I'm JUST starting to get my skin all cleared up from a sudden freak out session it decided to have, haha. The spot treatment I've been using (which some of you may believe is harsh) contains 10% Benzoyl Peroxide, and it works very well to zap zits really quickly, but obviously leaves my skin very very dry in the places that I put it. Does anyone have any suggestions for a moisturizer that works but won't break me out all over again?

Olay Oil Free Moisturizer works wonders for me! It's from CVS and it's worked amazingly for me for three years now! :)

I agree with Jena O. The CeraVe line was a God Sent to me. Try their Hydrating Cleansing Face Wash, very very gentle (if you don't have a fav right now). Then their CeraVe AM lotion, or Moisturizing Lotion, or even their Moisturizing Cream -- HALLELUJAH! I use the AM lotion (because it has SPF and it's always amost sunny in Hawaii). For the past couple of days, I've been applying the cream (in the tub) at night and on top of my AM lotion, and my skin is super hydrated now.

I've suffered from cystic acne last year, and I'm experiencing more breakouts due to going back to using my Clarisonic, and CeraVe is what cleared up my cystic acne last year... and is probably a reason why I'm not having BAD breakouts now (like I did the first time using my Clarisonic -- people say there is "purging" stage).

Wow, thank you! That's really helpful. I'll be keeping an eye out for that!

well, I sudgest you use a cleanser first that is good for sensitive skin. Try nutrogina. Then I recomend an oil free lotion. Mark and clearskin have some nice ones that arnt extreamly harsh. You might wanna consider Marks oil free mattifying lotion. It has has some natural ingridients in it
