Best Moisturizer for Acne Prone Skin?

Hey Guys,
So I am having some issues finding a skincare regimen that works for my combo skin ( I only get bad cystic acne on my cheeks) and I am wondering what oil-free non-comodogenic lotion you would recommend for day and night? I was using Clinique (with oil in it) and I just really want to avoid skincare products with oil in them. I heard the only oil that is good for acne prone skin is jojoba oil, but I can't seem to find it in stores.

Any suggestions? I wash my face with cetaphil for sensitive skin. I just really want a moisturizer that is oil free but won't dry up my skin :)

Thanks in advance :)

You could try a murad moisturizer. These are specifically designed for combination skin. Also, Boscia Has a hydrating gel lotion in their black skincare line that is a smart moisturizer. This means you will get hydration where you need it and oil control where you need it. When it comes to my skincare, I don't mess around with drugstore brands

Aveeno clear complexion. Has spf in it, has sysilic acid to get rid of acne and is oil free yet super smooth

I have acne prone skin as well and I prefer to use a moisturiser that is really gentle and doesn't contain anything like salicylic acid. Simple has a lot of different moisturisers available. I currently use the light hydrating moisturiser, it's super gentle and great for sensitive skin but i does contain oil. They do have an oily skin moisturiser though, I think I'm going to try it out myself. http://www.simple.co.uk/products/Clear-Skin-Oil-Balancing-Moisturiser-75ml-16.aspx

Thanks ladies I will look into these! I have the weirdest skin. It's like in the spots that I usually tend to get oily I don't get acne and then like I get acne in my dry spots... I have the weirdest skin ever! Any other tips for cystic acne let me know... I am also on the lookout for a good exfoliator for my face! So thanks again!!! :)

Raisa my skin is exactly the same!! I get super oily in my t-zone where I get almost no break outs, and on my cheeks where I can get quite dry I break out terribly. It's hormonal of course, but so annoying. Have you been to a dermatologist? I spent years trying all sorts of different treatments and about 4 months ago it all became too much and I went to a doctor. It was the best decision I ever made because now my skin is finally starting to get better. I just wish I went sooner!
