If you have combination skin...

what moisturiser do you use? I feel I have combination skin. Small under the skin bumps on my forehead & cheeks & blackheads on my chin. Occasionally a little oily forehead.
I’ve tried tons of various different moisturisers that all break me out quite bad so I’m looking for one that isn’t going to break the bank.

Any recommendations? Thanks

Do you actually need it? My skin is better without.

Should have said, my skin sounds like yours.

I feel like I need moisturiser on my skin.

I have really struggled with my skin (mine is prone breakouts and dryness) and the only thing that i have found to sort it out is the superdrug naturally radiant range.

However it sounds more like your skin is oily to me and my sister likes the neutrogena hydro boost and has oily skin.

Also maybe the PP poster is right and you don't need moisturiser but your cleanser is too harsh? I only like hot cloth cleansers and foaming ones tend to make me break out

I’ve got combination skin and I’ve really got on with Simple moisturiser. It’s lightweight and doesn’t clog my pores in my T zone area.
Also I highly recommend Superdrug Calm Skin facial wash.

Superdrug vitamin E day and night creams are the best I've tried and I have combination skin. They are nourishing without being thick and they sink in easily. And cheap. Also I team this with a niamicide serum that I apply first (can get cheap from tk Maxx or the ordinary) skin is the best it's ever been , I feel glowy! This also could be because i have joined a gym with a steam room-think it has made a really big difference to my skin.

Thanks all! I’ve been told my a few beauty counters that my skin isn’t that actually oily as I always thought I was. I don’t know Hmm

I've started using Liz Earle products and my skin is similar. Really like them. I would also recommend a whole routine (cleanse, tone, moisturise) and you will notice the difference. Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish is also v good.
