The dry skin gel-cream version is very similar but has no fragrance or dye. I no read good.

u/FrozenFractalsofIce · 6 pointsr/AskWomen

I don’t wear foundation often but I am a shiny mess by the end of work. I use a three step skin care process every day and a gel moisturizer , primer, this shine killer, setting powder. and a matte setting spray.

You can use a foundation between the shine killer and matte setting powder. I use this when I include foundation in my routine but I don’t wear it often and definitely don’t use foundation at the hospital.

The only other thing I recommend is using an oil absorbing sheet regularly throughout the night. It’s really the best thing I’ve found to deal with oily skin.

u/sunny_drs · 5 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

In the morning, in the shower, I wash my face. Then I moisturize. Then I dry my hair. Then (about 15-30 minutes later), I put on my makeup.

I usually use kiehls, which is on the pricier side but read really great things about gel moisturizer and bought this.: https://www.amazon.com/Neutrogena-Hydro-Boost-Gel-Cream-Extra-Dry/dp/B00NR1YQK4

u/ced841 · 5 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

I have combination skin too and I use the hydro boost but the version for extra dry skin with hyularonic acid and I really like it. The regular hydro boost wasn’t enough for me either. I also like to mix in a couple drops of argan oil with it!

u/gotohela · 5 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Rosehip tends to be recommended for dry skinned, mature skin.

Squalane is more of a humectant, it helps draw in moisture, like Hyaluronic Acid. You'd need to sandwich in the squalane for it to be effective.

I would suggest the squalane sandwiched with a light moisturizer like Neutrogena HydroBoost Gel Cream or The Ordinary Moisturizing Factors. The Ordinary also sells Squalane, so you could knock two things out in one order (free shipping over $25). Don't be afraid to layer up either. And use moisurizer with your retinol at night. USE SPF in the AM! Otherwise you're undoing the work your retinol is doing at night (and maybe making it worse since retinol makes you sun sensitive)

u/skibummed · 4 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

A lot of people here including myself love this stuff. No scent that I can notice, and it’s a cross between a gel and a cream:

u/noodleparty · 3 pointsr/tretinoin

Yeah! Neutrogena hydro boost gel cream!
I buy on amazon cuz it has the best price

u/poisonouspeach · 3 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Hi guys! New to this whole skin care thing but i've been super excited to get started and get new products. And a happy nat'l pet day to my lil pumkin for encouraging me.

I have normal/combo skin with dry patches. Overall minimal acne, hyperpigmentation in cheeks and around scars.

AM

Splash of Water: I prefer to only cleanse at night due to my dry skin

Neutrogena Hydroboost gel-cream for extra dry skin: I was referred this in a previous comment thread and it has quickly become my HG moisturizer. It is a gel-cream so it isn't heavy and can be layered but it is so hydrating.

Skin Aqua Sunscreen: This isn't in this picture but let me tell you this is the best sunscreen I've ever used on my face. Its a gel consistency so again light on the skin SPF50 & PA ++++ so it protects against both UVA & UVB rays. I've seen this highly recommend on AB threads so I decided to give it a go and I'm never going back.

PM

Simple Micellar cleansing water: I use this to remove my makeup with a cotton pad. Not too drying nor oily and gets the job done.

CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser: This cleanser is very hydrating, I don't experience that tight feeling after washing. I would highly recommend this cleanser.

u/Saturns_Song · 3 pointsr/ehlersdanlos

I totally understand your struggle. I have super chronically dry skin and this is the only thing that has ever worked for me. https://smile.amazon.com/Neutrogena-Hyaluronic-Hydrating-Moisturizer-Gel-Cream/dp/B00NR1YQK4 It doesn't break me out or clog my pores as my skin is also really sensitive, but I actually see and feel a noticeable difference although, everyones skin is different. Hope you find something that works for you!

u/asecretunique · 3 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Has some nice reviews on youtube too.

Cons

u/redflavor_ · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

I also wanted to note for others with the same sensitivity/breakout issues I currently use Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream face moisturizer, it doesn't seem to bother me, but I don't love it, it's become my fall back/interim moisturizer until I find *the one* because it doesn't seem to make my face better or worse. I'm also allergic to chemical sunscreens, and until about two weeks ago haven't been able to find a sunscreen for my face that doesn't make my skin hate me, that being said I just recently started using Cerave Skin Renewing Day Cream SPF 30 w/Retinol and even tho it contains part chemical part mineral sunscreen/block, it doesn't bother my skin at all and I don't notice I'm wearing it (a RARE occurrence for me). I don't like too use too many days in a row just in case, I live in NY so right now some days are more sunny than others. Just an FYI =). Also like others said Cerave PM was my all time fav, until I noticed when I stopped using I stopped getting little bumps on the sides of my face, perhaps coincidence, but due to all of the Cerave PM fans below, I may just try it out again ! =)

u/ignoretheyam · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Hey, definitely stop using body lotion on your face. It's gonna have a lot of comedogenic ingredients that face lotion wouldn't have.

Here's three simple items you can order from Amazon - no attention drawn:

u/sugarbibbles · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

**Skin type and skin concerns:**

Main concerns: Dryness, acne (cystic and general acne all over chin and cheeks), and splotchy discoloration all over my face (my dermatologist said it was melasma). My skin is consistently congested and breaking out, yet my entire face is sensitive, dull, itchy and flakey. After years of reading tips here, I've finally gotten to the point where redness and the majority of flaking is gone and products don't burn when they touch me, but my skin remains dull and feels tight.

​

While the products I've selected are relatively affordable, they add up. Plus I'm worried I'm doing more damage than good by overwhelming my skin with all these product. Mostly though, I'm so jealous of all your minimalist routines I see on here, and I want to create one that would work for me. I don't know where to start. What are your thoughts?

​

**Skincare routine with full product names**

AM

  1. Wipe face gently with Neutrogena Makeup Removing Wipes
  2. Spritz face with rose water to re-moisten (currently using Leven Rose Rose Water)
  3. Eva Naturals Vitamin B3 5% Niacinamide Serum(daily)
  4. Spritz face with Kikumasamune Sake High Moisture Skin Lotion Tonerbefore skin dries completely
  5. Moisturize with Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream
  6. Spritz face again with Kiku to keep moist
  7. Warm two drops of The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Hemi-Squalanein hands and pat all over face (I just added this to my routine and I have high hopes)
  8. Australian Gold Botanical Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50
  9. Coola Liplux Lip Balm Sunscreen SPF 30
  10. 1-2 times per week, exfoliate face with Baiden Mitten Exfoliator Glove
  11. 1-2 times per week exfoliate lips with Hanalei Sugar Lip Scrub

    PM

  12. First cleanse with Illiyoon Total Aging Care Cleansing Oil (I'm finishing up this bottle and then I'm going back to using Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil).
  13. Second cleanse with CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser
  14. Saturate cotton pad (White Rabbit organic cotton) with Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner and gently wipe face and neck
  15. Spritz face with rose water to re-moisten
  16. Elizavecca Hell Pore Control Hyaluronic acid Serum(nightly)
  17. Spritz face with Kiku before skin dries completely
  18. Moisturize with Elizavecca Milky Piggy Retinol Cream
  19. Spritz face again with Kiku to keep moist
  20. Additional moisturizer layer with Mizon Black Snail All in One Cream (I'm sure this is unnecessary, but I feel like the snail cream has done more for me than any other product and I'm emotionally attached to it now lol)
  21. Warm two drops of TO squalane oil in hands and pat all over face (NEW)
  22. Hanalei Lip Treatment
  23. Cover any cystic acne with spot treatment patches
  24. Once a week, spot treat dry problem areas with Origins drink up intensive overnight mask(it looks like they recently changed the formula for this, so I'm going to have to find something new when this runs out)
  25. Once a week, spot treat acne problem areas with Proactiv Skin Purifying Mask

    ​

    **Daily behaviors possibly impacting skin:**

    My diet is crap. While I don't eat a lot of processed food, I eat too much sugar, too much oily and fatty foods, too much red meat and not enough vegetables. Because of my family, it's going to be difficult to make adjustments, and honestly I'm not sure where to start. Caffeine consumption is pretty high, while I only have the occasional coffee, I drink a TON of green tea and oolong tea. Water intake is fair, and I usually refill my 32oz water bottle 2 times a day (yes, I have to run to the bathroom at least every 30 minutes). I pretty much stopped wearing makeup a little over a year ago, now I only wear for special occasions and the occasional eye liner.
u/casher7 · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

My favorite super soothing moisturizer is Loreal Age Perfect Golden Balm. It's suuuuuuper thick and leaves a bit of a film on my skin, which I personally like. It's not talked about much in this sub and may not agree with everyone, but my skin drinks this up, particularly when it's very red, flakey and painful.

You may also want to consider adding Aquaphor or an oil as the last step over your skincare before you go to bed. This, combined with a humidifier in my room, has really helped my skin from losing all of its moisture overnight, which has been an ongoing issue for me.

I still use the Loreal under makeup - it provides a great base. BUt as something lighter, I use Neutrogena Hydro Boost for dry skin.

u/Madky67 · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Are you having any redness or inflammation? I don't get dry skin, so I use a lot of water gel creams. In the morning use just a warm washcloth or splash water on your face or use micellar water then I would apply hyaluronic acid serum to a lightly damp face, I am a huge fan of hyaluronic acid because it works well for everyone and it can hold 1,000 times of its own weight and it's a humectant and will pull in moisture and is kind of like a barrier. I like high molecular weight, but I rarely find products that list the weight of the HA. I make my own and it is easy, if you want to do it yourself I can point you in the right direction. I have used this one and it's a good one Hyaluronic Acid Serum for Skin-- 100% Pure-Highest Quality, Anti-Aging Serum-- Intense Hydration + Moisture, Non-greasy, Paraben-free-Best Hyaluronic Acid for Your Face (Pro Formula) 2 Fl. Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0090UJFYI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ewNPDbHWGCTHA
I also have this vichy 89 serum which I love, but it does cost a little much. Vichy Mineral 89 Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum and Daily Skin Booster, For Stronger, Healthier Looking Skin, 1.01 Fl Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BWHF8VQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zINPDbS58YS3B
You want to apply a moisturizer on top the hyaluronic acid serum and I would recommend Neutrogena water gel cream, there is a water gel one, but use the water gel cream. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Face Moisturizer Gel-Cream to Hydrate and Smooth Extra-Dry Skin, 1.7 Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NR1YQK4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_OENPDbWW4YNDA
It has silicones in it so it doesn't dry down sticky IMO. I usually don't do well with silicones but I have no issues with this formula.
At night use a cleanser and wait 15-30 minutes before you apply the differin gel and then wait another 15-30 minutes and apply a moisturizer on top. I use cerave pm ultralight moisturizer, but that might be too light for you. I think Straita liquid gold might be a good fit for you, but I haven't used this moisturizer yet, but I plan to make it. The ingredients are good stuff and are meant to repair the skins moisture barrier. https://www.stratiaskin.com/products/liquid-gold
On the nights you aren't using the diffiren you can use the hyaluronic acid, with liquid gold or another moisturizer on top, and then an occlusive like Vaseline petroleum on top to give your skin a high dose of moisture.

u/1qpalzm0 · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Nivea face cream or Pond's cold cream (my favorite!) are great affordable options.

Besides that,

  • Weleda skin food is incredibly hydrating, full of essential oils, and smells amazing. It's a cult favorite.

  • Neutrogena's gel cream is naturally formulated, has a great texture, and is great for being moisturizing without being oily.

  • Aveeno Active Naturals is great for balancing out combination skin- it's really light.

  • People might recommend Burt's Bees but I just want to add that personally, I didn't find the price worth it- it's good for keeping acne at bay, but it's not super moisturizing and doesn't help get rid of acne already present. Of course, it might work really well for you, especially if you've got sensitive skin!

  • Bag Balm was used for cow udders until people co-opted it for their dry skin. Fuckin' weird, but who cares as long as it works?

  • Aquaphor is a cult favorite here in the states.

  • Kiss My Face is a great option for moisturizing on the go (although idk how you feel about spray moisturizers- they scare me).

    A random super cheap trick is to cleanse with coconut oil. It can be a great, moisturizing cleanser, but it's not for everyone. Not a moisturizer, but if you're acne-prone these are amazing, especially right after the gym. Really helps to prevent dirt and sweat from building up. I don't know what the water is like in Denmark, but I've heard of French models using this instead of tap water.

    Sucks about the CeraVe- they don't tell you how frustrating and costly taking good care of your skin will be. As always, don't hesitate to go to a dermatologist (I don't know how insurance works in Denmark)- they are fantastic with recommendations (and sometimes will give you free samples!) since it's their job. Anyway, whew! Good luck & hope this helps!


u/Bruno2019 · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

I'm brand new here. Previously used Cetaphil's facial cleanser as my only face product, but it was too harsh. I have relatively gentle skin. In the past, it has fluctuated between dry and oily.

Anyway, I bought the following products recently:

u/senorwhorehay · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

This? The only difference as far as I can tell is that the longer one has SPF 15, which may or may not be desirable to you.

u/Improvised_1 · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

Ahh good ol' accutane. Been on it twice, might need to go on it again but here's what I found.

-You pretty much won't need to wash your face with anything other than water. Anything more and your face will feel tight/dry.

-Yes to the aquaphor for the lips

-I like using this moisturizer (neutrogena hydro boost), it was recommended to me by my Curology provider. I really like it, super simple formula and it hasn't broken out my cystic-acne-prone face.

u/applenerd · 1 pointr/AsianBeauty

not an AB product :( but maybe try the neutrogena in the blue jar?

u/ahsquintley · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

Hey. Thanks to all of you guys I have finally built up my first routine after lurking for a long while now and wanted to make sure I'm using the stuff correctly.

AM:
sebamed cleanser,
Neutrogena moisturizer,
wait 5 mins -> skinoren 20% azelaic acid creme/gel

PM:
sebamed cleanser,
Paula's choice 8% skin perfecting aha gel,
wait 15 mins-> Neutrogena moisturizer,
wait 5 mins -> skinoren 20% azelaic acid

Also, I've purchased 5 vitamin c serum samples from Paula's choice, which I will be testing in the near future. How would I implement them into my routine? Sorry for the formatting I'm on my phone

u/gringlemcringleberry · 1 pointr/youngadults

I’ve tried it all: minocycline, doxycycline, aczone, onexton, epiduo forte, radio-frequency microneedling, etc.

Switching your bedsheets + pillowcases regularly is a good tip, however I don’t recommend washing your face with only warm water. That’s a bad idea. Wash your face with a nice, gentle cleanser instead (I like LRP’s Gentle Cleanser ). At nights, you can just moisturize your face. This one by Neutrogena was recommended to me by my derma and is the one that I’ve had the best experience with. In the mornings, finish off that small routine by applying a sunscreen (here’s my favorite physical sunscreen, tinted too which helps with the look of my acne scars ). No need to do this at night.

If you have a decent skincare routine and eat low glycemic index foods (somewhat healthy diet) and still have acne, it’s likely due to genetic proclivity for acne. Personally, my acne issues stemmed from my hormones along w genetic proclivity.

Accutane is the best and only real fix for acne. Hit a cumulative dose of 140+ mg/kg and you’ll be good to go.

Generally, some sort of anti-inflammatory can help too. Try Turmeric w Bioperine (that has been lead tested). If you need more, talk to your derma about Prednisone in conjunction w Accutane.

u/nodeeners · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

No problem! Honestly, I love the Hydroboost, but there are a ton of recommendations in the sidebar for other moisturizer alternatives. I'm not entirely sure what your skin type is (mine is oilier these days since it's the summer), but when my skin is absolutely parched, I go for Vanicream since it works well on my sensitive skin! It's a thicker cream consistency, and is super occlusive without feeling thick and jelly-ish like Vaseline does. Here it is on Amazon, but I got mine at Target.

That's pretty strange that the Hydroboost is barely lasting you 10 days though... How much are you putting on? I use it both day and night and have been using it for a couple of weeks and still have plenty left! From what I've found, using maybe a pea size amount is enough for my entire face.

Buying it in the store is also slightly more expensive I've noticed. I got the jar I have now for $17.99, and on Amazon it's $14.99.

u/Jocko-podcast · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

I came here for others opinion if it broke them out like it did for me, not sure. It was also oily for me as well but I layered it with a matte gel face moisturizer. This is a very good misturizer. i also linked a site to copy and paste ingredients to check for pore clogging .

pore clogging site

neutrogena extra dry skin gel moisturizer

( there are two gel moisturizre that look near identical, make sure you look at the one that say extra dry skin)

u/fntastk · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

Oh I'm sorry, I definitely should have specified or linked you. I use this one. I can't speak for anything else in the line but both the one I linked above and this one are generally good. It just depends on what your skin needs in terms of moisture.

u/theBirdjudge · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

Well, my face WAS super dry and sensitive, and here's what I've found...

 

Simple Refreshing Facial Wash Gel 1.7oz (3 Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GMOTTYG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DYmvxbKJXB9P8 this cleanser is a godsend. It has no smell, and is this clear gel that is so gentle. Afterwards, my face is much happier than before.

 

Leven Rose Organic 100% Pure Cold Pressed Unrefined Natural Jojoba Oil, 4 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GJX58PE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_QZmvxbKK9N3M6 I dont think it needs to be this brand, but this stuff is my absolute secret weapon. It mimics face oils and my skin can't be dry with this. In the morning, I put it on and then rinse it partway off with water, while in the evening I wait the 20min it takes to sink in. You can also use it for OCM. I use it before my cleanser as OCM, and after the simple cleanser as a moisturizer, but before anything else.

 

SCINIC Honey All In One Ampoule All Skin https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BO10SQ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Q2mvxbBC14QX4 this stuff is an asian beauty product, and heavily recommended on r/asianbeauty . It comes in a huge jar and lasts forever. the ingredients are crazy good, and I figured you may like it since you wanted to try honey. It's light and moisturizing, and the honey makes it antibacterial. Also, it has niacinimides, which are great for redness and staying young. I use it to prevent acne and make my skin happy, but it's the only part of my routine I could probably live without (but I wouldnt want to)

 

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream, Extra Dry Skin, 1.7 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NR1YQK4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_z7mvxbK58XK4T this stuff has the best texture! It's like silk. Make sure you buy the 'gel cream' and not the 'watery gel'. It was the first moisturizer I found that I've ever liked. No fatty alcohol, not sticky, but not too light. It's a little more expensive than I would like, but I simply can't do without. It's my favorite part of my routine and it leaves my face with a great finish.

 

When my face was less hydrated in general, I found that the hydro boost and SCINIC honey AIO stung for a few seconds after application, but they dont anymore now that I dont have microcuts everywhere. Also, with all three moisturizers on at night, my face feels a little warm at first, but that's just because of the layers, and doesnt last long. It takes a long time for it all to sink in, so it's more of a night pack. In the morning, just one or two of the products is enough (must include the hydro boost). I cant promise that these will work for you, but I haven't seen anybody have problems with these yet. Good luck!
