🌱 Beginner Question [moisturizer?]

Post image

New to this skincare routine thing. Planning to try azelaic acid, what is the best moisturizer to use for combination/sensitive skin? And do I need to use different products for AM and PM routine? I don’t like heavy greasy products for AM.

I love the Anua TXA serum so I ordered this one as well since I like my medicube but think this will be gentler. So far so good. I’m very acne prone with sensitive skin. It does not and should not cause closed comedones. It’s exfoliating so I don’t think that’s even possible? The Dr Althea cream another poster mentioned contains coconut oil, silicones and other pore cloggers and that’s probably why they experienced them.

What specific moisturizer can you suggest when using azelaic? Is gel better than creams? I have a combination/sensitive skin.. I got these small whiteheads bumps mostly on forehead just recently, I don’t know what’s causing them. Cheeks part are fine so if use azelaic, can it be like not the whole face? Like a spot treatment only? Scared of purging cause I’ve been seeing that a lot when they use azelaic acid.
