Choosing the Right Acne Moisturizer

As mentioned above, moisturizing your acne-prone skin is important. However, if you choose the wrong product, your acne could flare up and the issue could become worse.

It’s important to choose a moisturizer with the correct ingredients that are specifically formulated for someone with acne. If you have oily skin or are prone to breakouts, choose a moisturizer labeled “oil-free”. Oil-free products won’t leave a heavy, greasy feel to the skin, which is a problem especially if your skin already has a bit more oil than normal.

Also, when choosing your moisturizer for your skin, keep in mind that those in the form of a cream are generally heavier than lotions. Having acne might mean you opt for lotion over the heavier creams.

Another factor to look for in a moisturizer is exfoliating ingredients, including additives like alpha-hydroxy acids, retinol, and salicylic acid. Exfoliants clean your skin and remove dry skin and other residue that could help encourage pimples and blemishes.

That said, if you are using any kind of prescribed topical acne medication, exfoliating moisturizers can irritate the skin and may increase other issues like dry, peeling skin. In this case, consult your doctor or dermatologist to ensure you’re using the right moisturizer with your daily medication.

Also, look for moisturizers that are fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. Like exfoliating additives, fragrances added to moisturizers can irritate skin that is already prone to acne and other issues.

Lastly, look for moisturizers that include sunscreen in them. This is doubly important because skin that’s being treated for acne tends to be more sensitive to the sun’s harmful rays. Therefore, adding a moisturizer with SPF protection means that the sensitivity to the sun is counteracted a bit. And, as a general rule, you should be applying sunscreen to your skin each and every day anyway!

When dealing with acne, applying the proper moisturizer is essential! Luckily, Kohl’s and Sephora help make it easy to find the perfect product that will help treat your skin safely and with care!
