I've recently started to treat my acne prone skin with lots of Benzoyl Perioxide and its working well, but its making my face very dry. That's why I'm looking for a good moisturiser that will take care of the dryness without breaking me out. Does anyone have any recs for me?

dove face lotion with spf 15, and i have to suggest silkia camela oil! i recently bought this from goldportbeauty.com, and it is so great! it makes my skin feel all dewy without breaking me out. and it takes away those flaky dry patches that spot treatments give you, and it leaves you with smooth, silky skin.......i love it. <3

 
i use clinique moisture in control. i live off this stuff in the summer. and i have yet to break out from it.

 
I am using a PEter THomas ROth oil free moisturizer. It says on the label good for oily and acne prone skin. So far I really like it!

I've heard great things about the Dove skin care line, but I've never tried it as it seems geared more towards normal to dry skin rather than oily/combo skin.

 
I double the Peter Thomas Roth. I'm in Fl and its humid and it seems to be the best I also like chanels new oil control but its expensive

I would have to say Neutrogena. However, just a word of advice - you shold only be spot treating your blemishes with the benzoyl peroxide. If you use it on a daily basis where blemishes aren't present, your skin will become immune to it after a while and it won't work.
Hope this helps.

 
I had the same trouble and someone recommended me Kiehl's moisturiser with panethol (not sure whether that ingredient is significant, but it does identify which specific Kiehl's I bought!) and I was really sceptical. I thought it looked far too rich not to break me out... but I gave it a shot and haven't looked back. My skin has never been so soft, makeup goes on better than it ever has before, and it doesn't break me out

LOVE Aveeno's Clear Complextion! Its excellent and doesnt leave a film on your face. Its pretty light and my face has cleared up since switching to it!

 
Lush's enzymion is really good. it moisturisers really well but doesnt make skin feel greasy as it is for oily/blemish prone skin. Smells fruity too which is great!

I have really oily skin and I've been using Dove's facial lotion for sensitive skin and it works great. I also use an acne medication that has a pretty high amount of benzoyl peroxide in it (which can dry out the skin), but the Dove helps keep my skin in balance. I just wash my face, and then before it's dry apply the Dove facial lotion, let it dry and then apply an acne cream if needed. Best of luck

I've got really sensitive skin that tends to breakout sometimes, but I've used Fruit of the Earth's Vitamin E moisturizer and Skin Milk's Moisturizer, both for the face, with very little to no breakouts.

I've also used the Neautrogena Healthy Skin w/Spf 15 facial moisturizer too, but it has AHA in it, so it might be drying as well with the regiment you're using.
