| I have acne prone skin and was just wondering if anyone knew of a good moisturizer that won't cause my face to be shiny and is oil free to reduce the chance of breakouts? |

| What type of skin do you have? Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion is good and has salicylic acid in it to help control acne. |

| My skin is combination but if I put anything remotely greasy or oily I get really shiny in my T zone. Thanks for the help! |

The oil control lotion would be good, but may not be moisturising enough on the drier areas of your combo skin (depends on what they're like). I could use the oil control lotion on my normal skin in summer but probably not in winter. It is specifically geared towards acen-prone skin and also helps control shine throughout the day. See if you can get a sample of it from a salon around you - Dermalogica are pretty good with samples. |

biotherm's acnopur range is good for acne prone skin. Contains an anti bacterial ingredient and is oil free as well.

| I use Laura mercier oil free moisturizer. It is pretty good and has SPF in it which is very important |

Have you thought of replacing the Oil Free Moisturiser with Jojoba Oil.....I know, I know it is an Oil but really it works for us oilies and I have never had any breakouts from this.
As long as I use a toner first, then the Jojoba my skin regulates itself througfhout the day, with oil free moisturisers I always used to get oily breakouts later in the day, now I never have that problem and no shine either.
And for acne, mix a few drops of Tea Trea Oil into the Jojoba, it then acts as an effective treatment and a moisturiser without being too harsh. |

Sounds good, but does Jojoba go well with Makeup, like fundation, powder? Also, do you use pure Jojoba? Thanks. |

I'd like to suggest Decleor Aroma Purete Matte Finish Skin Fluid and my personal favourites, Dermalogica Sheer Moisture for the summer and Skin Smoothing Cream during colder months.  |

| Yes I use pure Jojoba Oil, I just need to wait a few minutes for it so sink in and then if I am wearing powder I will just dust over the top. |

I also have acne prone skin and am currently use benzol peroxide twice per day as instructed on acne.org (a great site). Anyway, you have to use a moisturizer to regulate the skin....especially when using BP. I purchased Juice Organics Daily Nourishing Moisturizer from CVS....it is packed with all organic juice derivitives (hydroxy acids) which will help with the acne.
Thus far, I really enjoy this product. It is light and absorbs quickly. |

| If you would like something gentle but medicated, Paula's Choice beta hydroxy acid lotion is a good moisturizer and is good for acne prone skin. It's not waxy like some moisturizers, even ones that are supposed to be non-comedogenic. Neutrogena makes a bha moisturizer that's supposed to be good as well. I also like the pure oil method but find the natural oils irritate/clog my pores. I actually use mineral oil much like rosebud uses jojoba (just a wee, wee bit), I wish I could use pure jojoba because it's natural but my skin hates it these days. |

| My favorite is md skincare Auto-Balancing Moisture with Sunscreen SPF10. It is light and doesn't clog poors. It is not greasy at all and does not facilitate breakouts. |
