I was gonna suggest a water based moisturizer rather than oil based. That's what my dermo told me to use as a teen...

My dermatologist suggested Neutrogena oil free moisture sensitive skin years ago and I've been using it ever since. They also make one for combination skin so if that describes your skin better than sensitive skin, you can use that one.

I use for my daughter clinique. They have a soap, liquid water (forgot what it's called) and cream. It cleared her skin and kept it away.

I read about Clinique moisturizer. I just don’t want to spend that much on a moisturizer, but maybe willing to try. Did anyone else have good experiences with Clinique moisturizer?

NO
There are different types of oils with different levels of pore clogging. aragon is very low on pore clogging. your skin needs oil. dry skin also causes acne. oil free moisturizers often have chemicals to make up for the lack of oil that clog pores.

A couple if weeks ago I started an identical thread and afew poster said to try neutrogena sensitive skin moisturizer. I've been very happy with it so far, my face looks much smoother already.
I've used clinique and found that it made my acne worse.

I have sensitive skin that breaks out in a rash after using acne creams & after hair removal treatments so I know that I need for sensitive skin.

Combination skin means that your T-zone (forehead - down nose continuing to chin) is oily and the rest of your skin is dry.
Sensitive skin means you have reactions to some things like redness or rashes or peeling.

You can buy for cheaper first a box that has the 3 bottles but much smaller.

Clinique makes me break out and also make my skin sting because I have sensitive skin

The third ingrediant is dimethicone which clogs pores. The fourth ingredient is petroleum (like Vaseline) which clogs pores. There are also parabens in it and a lot of unnatural chemicals. This moisturizer gets a 0 star rating from me.

Oh, how apropos. My name is natural, lol.

Seriously though, go with the argon oil. That is the number one most natural, safe, effective things you can use. If you must have an emulsion, try this website https://us.nyrorganic.com/shop.....zers/
