Please help! I have been searching high and low for a facial moisturizer that won't cause cystic acne, I have very sensitive acne prone skin and I feel like EVERYTHING makes me break out, sometimes in cystic acne too! I have been using ones with spf so maybe that could be the problem? And I eat healthy so I know it's not what I'm eating.

I have a while ago but maybe I should go back, I use to have such nice skin but I tried going like all natural and I feel like it's just getting worse

Other things that cause acne are stress, what you eat, environment, allergic reaction, etc. I definitely get bad stress acne... :(

I just finished classes so I don't think it's the stress factor, but I think it might have to do with my facial moisturizer

First Aid beauty makes a hydrating..soothing oatmeal based daily one. Love it and I have extremely sensitive skin. You can find it at Sephora, but ULTA may carry it as well.

Maybe a oilfree moistutizer? I see a huge different using a waterbased moisturizer on my acne prone skin.

Yes, I wash my face with kiehls ultra face wash, pay dry, put 2-3 drops of the seaberry oil on, wait a couple mins and then do my makeup routine :) works perfectly!!

No silicones!! I had bad cystic acne and it went away when I stopped using them. They layer up on your face and keep all the dirt in, so especially sensitive skin breaks out. oil on the other hand has helped me a lot with scarring!

Yes. Feels so smooth!
