Hi all. I’ve been struggling with acne for YEARS, but now I’m in my early 20s and it has finally chilled out. I get the occasional chin or jaw pimple before my period, but my skin stays clear. The problem is I hat whenever I put any moisturizer I get HUGE pimples on my forehead and cheeks.

At first I thought it was just regular acne, until I conducted a little experiment where I didn’t wear any make up, only wore my screen screen, and used no additional skincare products. I did this for over a week (not during my period) and broke out on my forehead cheeks, and nose.I stopped using the moisturizer and resumed my usual skincare routine and wore make up. No break out.

Although my skin is clear it is SO dehydrated. I double cleanse to remove make up and I use a toner. I used to use tretinoin but I haven’t been able to because I can’t wear moisturizer. The two moisturizers that did work for me at one point were honey halo and aquaphor. However, they both break me out now too.

I have tried so many moisturizers and spent so much money and nothing works. Cerave, cetaphil, laneige, la roche possay, elta md, Korean brands, Japanese brands and without fail i wake up with a fat pimple on my forehead the next morning.

HELP!
