Is your skin sensitive?
Common conclusions
If you have oily skin you should go with a light, oil-free moisturizer. You should try Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel, Glow Recipe Watermelon Pink Juice Moisturizer etc.
If you have dry skin, you should get something richer than a light, oil-free moisturizer. You should choose a moisturizer with a higher oil content. Moisturizing every day can reduce the chance of developing extreme dryness, makes the skin look more youthful.
Moisturizing reduces skin problems, so moisturizing every day can reduce the chance of developing extreme dryness or oiliness. A damaged barrier is a huge culprit in making skin feel itchy and uncomfortable. You should try something like La Roche-Rosay Toleriane Riche Daily Soothing Nourishing Face Cream or Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream.
If you have breakouts then you should avoid moisturizers that contain Acetylated Lanolin, Acetylated Lanolin Alcohol, Algae Extract, Algin, Butyl Stearate, Cetyl Acetate, Carrageenan etc. because all of them may cause acne and breakouts. If you are experiencing breakouts, look for lightweight moisturizers, serums or gels that are water-based rather than oil-based. Heavier lotions can worsen congestion of pores.
If you have clogged pores you should avoid moisturizers that contain Almond Oil, Algae Extract, Acetylated Lanolin, Lauroyl Lysine, Benzaldehyde etc. because all of them may cause clogged pores and acne.
If your skin is sensitive then you should look for moisturizers that contain Vaseline because it will help heal dry skin deep down for fast relief from itchy dryness. You should choose something like CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion, Avene Antirougeurs Fort Soothing Concentrate etc.
