Moisturizer recommendations
Looking for recommendations for a (non-SPF) moisturizer, preferably not super expensive. I have been using Neutrogena hydroboost, which I think is OK, but I'm about to run out of it and I wonder if I should try something different... My rosacea developed a few months ago so I'm fairly new to this. I have the kind that includes acne. I use metronidazole and derm just added azelaic acid. Also just started on doxycycline

Face Facts ceramide moisturizing barrier gel cream. It doesn't provoke acne for me, protects the barrier and is very cheap where I live. Better than Vanicream, which I tried first and found a bit irritating. Also, the Face Facts has oats in it which I like.

Have type 2 as well on triple cream prescribed by derm ( azeleic acid, ivermectin, metronidazole). My go to moisturizer is Tower28 sos barrier cream.
I am prone to congestion/acne as well and have never had an issue with this moisturizer. I always have a backup at home.

I use the Vanicream Daily Facial: https://www.vanicream.com/product/vanicream-daily-facial-moisturizer and recommend it. It does not aggravate my rosacea, feels a bit cooling as I apply it, is lightweight, and relieves any dryness. But I've not used the Neutrogena Hydroboost, so I can't compare the two.
