This section is probably going to be the biggest out of all of the recommended moisturizer blog posts since this is also meant to be for sensitive/easily irritated skin as well.

I recommended those with this skin type to go for "oil-free" products because you want hydration but without layering more oil on top of skin that already has excess oils. Seek an SPF (atleast 35) to protect skin from further irritation/damage caused by uva/uvb rays. GO NATURAL!! Try to stay away from artificial and harsh chemicals that would make the skin dried out. When you're shopping for moisturizers, look for these labels: Non-comedogenic, paraben-free, and hypo-allergenic.

1. Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer. It's designed to fight blemishes and/or acne breakouts since it contains 0.5% Salicylic acid to treat and heal acne. The lightweight formula is extremely hydrating and refreshing.

2. Jurlique Calendula Cream. Jurlique's Cream is infused with healing components: Witch Hazel and spilanthes for acne treatment. Also, it includes avocado, aloe vera to sooth skin and reduces redness. This product concentrates on healing the skin with aloe while reducing inflammation with acne on skin.

3. Aveeno Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer. Clear Complexion is oil-free, non comedogenic (won't clog pores) and I suggest using a very small amount for soothing your complexion which helps heal acne. A little goes a long way with this moisturizer and leaves skin supple.
