Hi all, I'm looking for a new face moisturiser for sensitive skin which is prone to breakouts (PCOS). Preferably organic and won't break the bank.

Does such a thing exist? I've looked online but can't track down what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance!

I use this and it’s lovely (I then follow with the bio kelp ferment thing as well). I’m not sure it’s organic though?

The inkey list multi biotic moisturiser is perfect for this

I have similar skin. I would recommend La Roche Posay Toleriane (not the effaclar range though as that dried my skin out. The Hydraphase range is also good.

Is the dr treating the breakouts? I have pcos & my skin pumps out the oil. It’s an all you can eat Buffet for bacteria.

I ended up with cystic acne at 41 when oil production stepped up even more because I had the implant for endo.

Thank you all for the suggestions!
fluffy no I'm not under any treatment currently. It's only at certain points in the cycle and isn't too bad. When I was on the pill many years ago that definitely helped. I need to drink more water as my face is usually better when I do.

It’ll be when your progesterone levels rise and the oil production revs up.

Silly question but do you need moisturiser? I’m pre menstrual this week and haven’t used a moisturiser all week. I could never see how skin covered in it’s own moisturiser ie sebum could be dry unless you’re dehydrated.

It's been a while since I tried going without so I don't really know. It feels like after a shower I definitely do, less so a bath for some reason.
