Moisturiser for spot prone yet dry skin

Any recs please? Keep coming out in zits with anything I buy from Olay, Garnier, Loreal etc as they seem to clog my pores. Oil free moisturiser doesn't tend to do the trick either. Thanks

The cream may be to heavy for your skin. Clean you skin the use a little bio oil this will work a treat keep this up for 3 weeks - how are you cleaning your face

I get acne from most moisturizers but Eucerin 5% urea is fine and very effective. My winter staple.

Do you have a budget?

Boots do a serum for blemish prone skin that I really like.

It seems pricy but a little bit goes a long way and I usually manage to buy it on a 3 for 2 or when there are other offers on.

Agree with the eucerin day cream only. But you perhaps need a better cleanser or not too high SPF - this always breaks me out.
I use effaclar duo all over my face and eucerin on dry bits and grapeseed oil at night.

I'm a bit slack on my beauty regime tbh but currently using Liz Earle c&p. Before that I had Neal's yard cleansing balm.

The previous moisturiser I had was lovely, by Amphora (rose and pomegranate I think) but I was pregnant when using it and my skin really changes hormonally, so I'm not sure if I'd still be ok with it.

Occasionally I whip out the pixi glow tonic/fix pads too.

Oh and budget is about £20 max but would prefer to spend (much) less.

Boots simply sensitive moisturiser spf15. My skin loves it and it costs less than £2.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo - available in Boots - excellent for spot prone skin.
