Facial moisturizers for acne-prone skin

It can be difficult to know which facial moisturizers are best for acne-prone skin. There are certain ingredients to avoid while others are recommended, and you'll need to consider your skin type too.

• Ingredients to avoid: Steer clear of moisturizers with alcohol and fragrances as these act as irritants. Coconut oil can block your pores.
• Checklist: Ensure the moisturizer is gentle and non comedogenic. Despite needing to avoid alcohol and coconut oil, coconut alcohol is non comedogenic and a gentle surfactant. Moisturizers with lipids and hyaluronic acid are good choices.
• Skin type: For oily skin, opt for a lotion, which is lighter than a cream. For dry skin, use a more hydrating cream.
