Do you need a moisturizer if you have acne?
Patients who suffer from acne have oily skin. Because the skin already produces a lot of sebum, it may seem that a moisturizer is completely unnecessary in your daily care routine. However, this is a profound misconception.
Any skin type needs a moisturizer, especially acne-prone skin treated with at least one of these medications:
- benzoyl peroxide,
- salicylic acid,
- adapalene or tretinoin,
- isotretinoin.
These medications tend to dehydrate and irritate the skin. Daily use of a moisturizer will help restore the hydrolipidic balance of your skin, making acne treatment much more comfortable.
It is also important to note that insufficient skin hydration causes the sebaceous glands to work more actively and produce more sebum (in order to protect the skin from dehydration), which results in clogged pores. This leads to the formation and spread of new inflammatory elements.
That's why it's so important to use a moisturizer in your daily skincare routine.
What type of moisturizer is suitable for acne-prone skin?
To prevent the appearance of new inflammatory elements, choose moisturizing products, such as a moisturizing face cream or emulsions from lines designed for oily and problematic skin. Such products will not cause new breakouts.

When and how to use moisturizer?
