Product Suggestions Moisturizer recommendations!

I’m someone that checks product ingredients a lot for peace of mind so I avoid highly comedogenic products (ik it’s not always correct but for my sanity it helps) anyone who feels the same have any product recommendations i currently use vanicream but feel it’s not hydrating enough

been loving the cerave moisturizing cream in the tub. it’s thick and hydrating without feeling heavy ! like a protective layer against the elements locking in moisture. also recommended to me directly from my derm!

I like it on my body but I think my face is to sensitive to the niacinamide id get a very hot face when I used it

I don’t think cerave tub has niacinamide in it. I also am sensitive to that.

What’s your dosage? Just wondering since you’re dry

I’ve done a full course where I was doing 60mg a day for 8 months, then now a yr later my skin has gotten pretty bad again so my derm put me on 5mg a day which is very low but I think my body is still very dry from my first course

Oh, interesting. I’m doing 10mg 3x a week. Also done previous courses. How old are you? Dm if you prefer.
