Best moisturiser for acne prone skin

Im in need of your help, I’m really struggling to find a good moisturiser that doesn’t break me out! I used to use cetaphil which worked really well but since they have changed the ingredients that also breaks me out badly! I go on holiday in 5 weeks and my skin is really suffering at the moment and I feel very self conscious! Thanks in advance x

I’ve always struggled with acne from being young. In my mid 30s I finally found the answer for me. Going natural. I use an organic African black soap (it should look a patchy brown colour, not black, that’s just its name) and then I alternate between castor oil (a little bit goes a long way, and a mix of jojoba and rosehip. All organic and natural and helped to balance out my skin.

I've recently started using moo-goo fave wash and moisturiser for acne prone skin and its been brilliant. I've just ordered the suncream too to try and avoid further breakouts.

I agree with the previous post about keeping it simple. I am 46 and been suffering since 13.
I use a very plain Aveeno or Simple light moisturiser with a drop of jojoba oil mixed in. I vary the amount of jojoba based on how oily or dry my skin feels. Acne ‘treatments’ just don’t work for me as my issues are hormonal.

It's this moisturiser, I'm now using the face foam too and my skin is feeling great.
