Hi there! I'm (still) looking for my HG moisturizer. I have acne prone but easily dehydrated and sensitive skin. I would love something super hydrating and moisturizing but also not too thick. Thank you!!

moisturizer recommendations??

Hi! I am experiencing a lot of closed comedones. I used to have cystic acne but managed to clear most of it using differin. Now I am left with lots of skin texture, small bumps and tiny whiteheads. Is there any products or ingredient known to cause this? Or something else I might be doing? I will tag the products in my current routine. I will note thst my skin is feels dehydrated constantly. 

This is my routine currently
AM 
rinse with water
toner
iunik serum
barr moisturizer
spf


PM
cleansing balm
cleansing foam
toner
either; differin or azelaic acid (alternate days)
OR; BHA 1x a week ( or less if my skin is angry )
snail serum
iunik moisturizer
after differin I use illiyoon on top of iunik moisturizer


That's it! Any tip or advice is welcome. It could be hormones, food, sleep, I am at a loss. Thank you so much!

EFFECTIVENESS 💮: as a brightening product, I saw really good results using this! I had never really spent time trying to brighten my skin, but this really made a difference. My skin was a lot less dull after two weeks of daily use! With that being said, I saw no other changes in my skin.

APPLICATION 💮: oh how I love this packaging! It feels boujee, the texture is delightful and it melts into my skin like snow! You can feel the little beads dissolve as you apply the product. It's a thin consistency, perfect for all skin types imo!

MY RATING 💮: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I will absolutely empty this bottle! I was not expecting much of this product but I love using it in my daily routine. I feel as if my skin really starts to glow in the morning!

KEY INGREDIENTS: niacinamide
FUNGAL ACNE SAFE: nope
COMEDOGENIC INGREDIENTS: none
POSSIBLE IRRITANTS: no
SULFATE, SILICONE AND PARABEN FREE: yes
ALCOHOL AND FRAGRANCE FREE: YES!

WHITE CAST ☀️: none! it blends in smoothly and takes about 2 seconds to cover my entire face without any visible white cast
APPLICATION ☀️: it feels moisturizing and applies smoothly with ease. It absorbs like a moisturizer would. 
✨FINISH✨: very soft natural glow, not greasy or shiny ( I have oily acne prone skin)
 EYE BURN ⚡: a tiny bit when it actually got into my eyes from rain or sweat.

MY RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is an absolute holy grail for me !! I struggled to find an spf I really liked and this is THE one! It doesn&#39;t feel greasy, doesn&#39;t break me out. My only concern is that it is quite expensive (in comparison to other spf). This is definitely great for dry&#47;dehydrated skin types, but my oily skin love love LOVED it too

KEY INGREDIENTS:  
FUNGAL ACNE SAFE: 
COMEDOGENIC INGREDIENTS: 
POSSIBLE IRRITANTS: 
SULFATE, SILICONE AND PARABEN FREE: 
ALCOHOL AND FRAGRANCE FREE:


MOISTURIZING: it is decently moisturizing. Would nog recommend this for dry skin types. For me it wasn't moisturizing enough.
HYDRATION: hydrates the skin nicely but does not provide my dehydrated skin with enough, I feel dry a while after using this
APPLICATION: the texture is lovely! It spreads very nicely and smoothly and absorbs instantly. Oily skin folks will love this.
THICCNESS: very lightweight, not thick at all.
SUFFOCATING: not at all. It feels like you are wearing no moisturizer at all.
LAYERING: as it is lightweight this layers very nicely. Love it under makeup etc.
SMELL: has a pretty strong tea tree smell imo. Personally I didn't love it.



KEY INGREDIENTS:  jojoba seed oil, soybean oil, sesame seed oil, black currant oil, tocopheryl acetate (vit. E), shea butter, cranberry seed oil
FUNGAL ACNE SAFE: no
COMEDOGENIC INGREDIENTS: various oils and isopropyl myristate
POSSIBLE IRRITANTS: fragrance
SULFATE, SILICONE AND PARABEN FREE: yes
ALCOHOL AND FRAGRANCE FREE: no contains fragrance

EFFECTIVENESS ✨: oils are not my preference, but this did the job really well! This removes makeup and spf easily and it feels soft on the skin. It can be a little bit hard to rinse off, though. So always follow with a gel based cleanser.

STRIPPING ⚡: after consistent use I did feel some tightness right after using this. Probably not a great option for drier skin types!

MY RATING: ⭐⭐⭐
This is not my favorite, but it is a decent product. But I want to share that I loveeee the packaging! The pump is so easy and elegant to use, and makes it super hygienic. My skin is very sensitive and this was not the best option for my skin in particular.

KEY INGREDIENTS: oat kernel oil
FUNGAL ACNE SAFE: no
COMEDOGENIC INGREDIENTS: almond oil (but since this is a cleanser, this shouldn&#39;t clog your pores if you rinse it off properly)
POSSIBLE IRRITANTS: essential oils, benzyl alcohol,  tocopherol
PARABEN, SILICONE AND SULFATE FREE: yes

CLEANSING ✨: It cleanses the skin pretty well. But I would not recommend this as a standalone cleanser as it leaves quite the residue on your skin, even after emulsifying and rinsing well.

STRIPPING ⚡: Not at all! This left my skin feeling soft and clean, without dryness or tightness.

MY RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is very nice to use, leaves your skin soft and well cleansed. It&#39;s also very, very afforable and comes in hygienic packaging. However I find that it can be kind of hard to rinse it all off properly, and the consistency of the product is random. Sometimes it&#39;s a thick cream and sometimes it&#39;s just oil. Shaking &#47; kneading it can be hard to do. Overall I think it&#39;s a good basic oil cleanser for any skin type.
