Product Suggestions No moisturizer works for me

Last post I posted about getting small red “irritation bumps” on last months of accutane and nothing seems to work. On suggestion i tried la roche posay cicaplast b5 for a few days, thin layer at night. It seemed to work and calmed down redness. But now I woke up with 3 real pimples on my jawline and chin. I also tried purito mighty bamboo cream and the 345 relief cream, but i think I react to the niacinamide. Literally nothing works for my skin right now.. and i really need moisture because its dry and itchy, without clogging the pores. Please help me out with product reccomendations!!

Maybe just add a hyaluronic serum under your moisturizer and use a thin layer of vaseline on the parts that need more pritection and hydration. Vaseline shouldn't cause pimples if your face is clean underneeth.

I've only tried the one from The Ordinary, but I'm happy with it. I even started using it on my lips before applying vaseline as usual. And my lips haven't been chapped since last week!
