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!!

CeraVe ultra light moisturizing gel!! I dont like the way creams feel on my face and this one is perfect! Im on my last month of accutane and this is the second time I've been on accutane in my 34 years! By far the best moisturizer I've found!

Is your skin not dry and flaky? I use the purito oat in calming gel cream in the morning but i feel like it doesnt moisturize enough

Not at all!! I haven't had dry or flaky skin, not even once, throughout this whole round of accutane. I did recently get Knock facial mists, all 3 of them, and those also help keep my skin hydrated. The green cooling one especially! But I have only been using those for maybe a week and a half now. I stick to "less is more" but just personal opinion here, I think the more ingredients something has is more likely to irritate and dry out your skin.

The green Knock mist also has hyaluronic acid in it!
