@@ilovelisa2594 Yes you're actually right but if the Salicylic acid is in a wash form then it's fine. Also if you are using a leave on Salicylic acid product then you can use it in the AM then use your Retinoid (Adapalene) at night time :) Once I tried using a leave on 2% Salicylic acid then followed it up with a 0.3% Adapalene and my face stung a bit and I had to sit infront of the fan for like 15 min lol to make my face feel better since it was stinging. I was like okay I am not doing that again haha.
"...We are here to simplify", "we are not here to complicate... your skin care" Thank you for the health education you do and your work ethic. Greetings from Chile.
Dr Davin, you treated me many years ago and I've been following your channel since it came about! I am in my mid-20s now and I use 15% Finecea in the AM and 0.025% Tretinoin in the PM with a super simple, very gentle routine. You got me started on the La Roche Posay range and I always have a bottle of the Anthelios SPF50+ or the Toleraine UV 30+ in my bag. The La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume is my ride or die for moisture and soothing. It's wonderful seeing you continue to deliver wisdom that works.
Yes, I never skipped this 3 steps routine and my skin never been better! Of course later on I add on little by little another products to help fasten the healing process afterwards. And sunscreen. I never skip my sunscreen everyday 😁
Your my fave Derm! I’m a PA working in Dermatology in the states. Your mindset and love for lasers, I feel like you get me. We think very similar and I’m just so thankful to have you as a constant resource.
God guided me again so I can get good advices for my skin health. I only listen to two people this year and they say almost the same thing, the same point. I'm getting the EXACT CORRECT ADVICES He wants me to hear. Praise God.
Simplifying my routine helped a lot. Effectively remove my makeup and then use a simple cleanser and moisturiser and only 3 actives (niac, azelaic acid and glycolic acid) that I rotate through every 3 days. I want to start a retinoid but I’ve been hesitant. Starting slowly should do the job though
Salicylic acid 2% cleasner Adapalene 0.1% only night time Clindamycin phosphate 1% day time Oil free non comedogenic moisturiser Non comedogenic sunscreen My routine from last 3 weeks saw alot of improvement.
This was very interesting and informative. Thnx! I'm very close to giving up on my face. I've been to so many dermatologists, tried countless products, various medications, done different routines, etc and I STILL swear my skin does better when I don't wash my face ever and use no products on it. =(
I have the same problem, my skin seems to do better if I let it be! I'm currently giving a try to Niacinamide and Azelaic Acid but bleakheads and pimples are already having a party on my face :( It's very frustrating as each active I try, seems to worsen my acne
@@lautuby How long are you trying products for? Acne treatments almost always make the acne worse before it gets better. It's called purging and it's a good sign it's working. Give it a good 3 months to decide whether it's improved your skin.
@@simon6932 Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post. I suppose I tried SA for 2 months only, maybe it was not enough. As you said, 3 months it's the right testing time...I'm now trying to take things slowlier, aka introducing a new ingredient and using it only 2 times a week for 1 month. I came to the conclusion that perhaps my skin is just slowlier in accepting new ingredients and needs more time :) Thanks for your hint, it really gave me a boost to try again and try for longer! Have a wonderful day
@@lautuby No worries. SA causes a lot of purging so I recommend it in a wash-off form. I tried a lot of things before finding the winning formula so let me just tell you my routine. Morning = Cerave SA cleanser, then 20% Azelaic acid, then Cerevae PM moisturiser, Sunscreen. Evening = Cerave foaming cleanser, Epiduo Forte (get this from your GP), Cerevae PM moisturiser.
I completely agree with having a simple protocol. I use this approach to manage my adult acne. Retin-A is the foundation of my routine for both acne prevention and anti aging benefits. Great info Dr Lim.
I use 0.05%. Never had issues with other peeling apart from rare instances where my face had residual moisture from washing. Let face completely dry first, use light serum (hyaluronic acid) and eye cream, wait 15mins and then apply pea size amount throughout face, followed by moisturizer. Use not just affected area if you want the anti-aging benefits. I worked my way up in terms of frequency and amount used per treatment. Hope this helps
I just discovered your channel and love the tips you give. You're the only Aussie dermatologist I know on youtube - the rest are sadly from the US. Can't believe you don't have more subscribers.
Been using isotretinoin for more than a year now (more than 14 boxes already) and it really did helped in battling hormonal acne. My only problem now is acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
First time to check out Dr. Lim and his content. I was surprised and delighted in the way he presents his topics and unselfishly shares his knowledge. Seeing that we share a common interest in 911's. I subbed immediately! 👌
So so so useful. I’ve been using apalpen .3% as spot treatment for 1 year bc my dermatologist told me so... now I finally know the truth! Thank you doctor. You’re doing an amazing job
@@LoveConquersAll888 Cerave. But overtime it became too drying lol. Great for oily skin. I healed my acne when I quit dairy milk and added whole foods to my diet. Hope this helps
If you start Vit A, to prevent peeling from dryness and breaking out like crazy. Use moisturizer first and then apply the smallest of the smallest amount of the Vit A, smear it well on your hands and tap your face mostly around the eyes (but not on the eyelids and eyebags area), forehead, and cheeks, then neck and chest. Then apply moisturizer again. Creating a sandwich 🥪 effect. Your skin will be very grateful with minimum break-out. I swear Vit A should come with very specific instructions. Step by step cause I was peeling like a snake the 1st time I use it and my skin felt like a desert ready to crack any minute. The moisturizer is a MUST with Tretinoin or Retin-A or Differin among other names. Start with the lowest %. Until your skin can handle it. Is extremely strong! After a year of using it, my skin is happier and I'll have product for at least 5 years. That's how much I use every other day. Good luck!
I found the SA in the washes I used stripped my skin. I switched to slightly milder cleansers and started using a tonic with AHA + BHA and my skin seems to tolerate that better. I guess the concentration is low enough. What I found was a game changer for me was using the Neutrogena hydro boost gel on damp skin underneath my moisturizer. I used to get a lot of peeling on my nose, I guess my skin was very dehydrated.
The best product I've found so far for my skin is Epiduo. However having sensitive skin I can only use it few times per week. Now I'm trying Differin + azelaic acid and had a big breakout recently :/
@@Alex-dm8vf Epiduo is awesome! I tried many products and it's the best, so give it a good 3 months. Use once a day at night after cleanser and before Cerave PM moisturiser. Apply to the whole area of your face that tends to get spots, not just to individual spots.
I will try this. At 52, suddenly I am having acne attack and it is so bad. Tried so many products but acne still around. Of course I also changed my diet, no more dairies, fast-food, sodas, white bread, and sweets at all.
I hope this works, I get painful hormonal acne on my jawline and under my chin. You seem to be the only person talking about that specific type of acne!! So thank you, I'll give it a go! I'm extremely consistent with my skincare routine, so it's disappointing when things don't work out. I'll try just about anything at this point. Either way, thank you so much for your guidance!!
I cleared acne just with regular alcohol gel and moisturizer when the skin got dry. Keeping your skin clean (ideally sterile) and then adding clean moisturizer will prevent or minimise the onset of sebum.
I use the ZO skin care protocol and has made a significant difference in my skin's overall tone....it's harsh in the beginning, but the results are great!
This is my exact routine, except I use tretinoin 0.05% daily (on my third month now). It worked very well to clear my skin, but my cystic acne is returning. I will be going on accutane.

Wow, what a clear and informative video! I am hopefully getting a retin A prescription from my GP tomorrow:) However, besides acne, Eyelid dermatitis is also my issue. Any tips to prevent eyelid irritation while using this acne treatment you outlined?
my first doctor didn't even warned me about the food I take. even scolded me for saying such coz it doesn't have any basis. I keep going back to him for checkups. he was able to stop my acne for some time but it came back + ugly scars. I just transferred to another doctor... I think he's doing well. I have cystic acne for years already and I'm already 32 this year. ends up badly as scars... I hope for the best this time. 1st week of doxycycline is done. 😊
I am so frustrated I’ve taken accutane at 15yrs, 17yrs, 24yrs and now 42yrs. I’ve tried it all !Accutane definitely helped but my face is still red and has little pimple coming and going. I used benzac from 26 yrs old to 30yrs. Now I use salicylic acid. I take photos all the time but the redness is so frustrating. Now I have pimples on my neck. In lock down now I am trying to just not wear any make up. Yes if you try too much you will have a big reaction. As a teen I used tea tree oil, yogurt mask, benzac. I probably over washed my face and it turned into a huge rash. Now I am 42 and still have issues

Hello Doctor😀 .. you are the only one who can answer my question. I bought tazarotene online .. it did not cause me any itching or reaction .. how can I make sure that the product contains 0.1% tazarotene ? .. it is a cream by the way. i will appreciate your help.❤
My routine is.. AM: Cleanser, 2.5% Benzoyl peroxide treatment, 10% niacinamide serum, SPF PM: Cleanser, 10% niacinamide serum, 0.05% tretinoin. My skin is the best it has ever been, unfortunately now I notice all the scars because everything else is so clear. I phased moisturizer out of my routine, I don't need it, the serum is good enough.
@@annekimuhu4108 Right now, I use CeraVe Foaming cleanser, but I'm not stuck on using only this, when it runs out I might buy Cetaphil which doesn't foam at all but I like it too. The serum I'm using is from a Vietnamese brand, it's called "She's Niacinamide in Licorice".
Dr. Davin, I really appreciate your opinion on skincare products. Would you please make a video on The Truth Treatment Systems 5% retinol gel & 1% retinol gel? THANK YOU These products are really EXPENSIVE! These products seem to have highly positive reviews!
I just found your channel and first I really appreciate the care you put in your videos. I have been to my DM and was told I have normal acne as well as acne due to medication causing oily skin. I am on doxycycline for 3 months, as well as Tretinoin cream like you said the bedtime 3x a week spread out. It feels like it’s making my face worse and my face is in pain most of the time, my DM said that it will get worse before it gets better. I have been on for almost 3 months now with no improvement. I kinda feel hopeless and it’s starting to really affect me. I was hoping for your opinion on this since you stated if there’s irritation to stop use. Another professional opinion would be amazing. Thank you!
Thank you Dr for this video ! The Neutrogena cleanser works good but the fragrance is really too strong so I was thinking about the Cerave SA since it's now available in France as well. I alsa had great results with azelaic acid (the ordinary). very effective and a little goes a long way, I definitively recommand it.

I think he got that estimation wrong. 40-50 days on the cleanser? My Cerave SA Renewing Cleanser 8oz lasted for 8 months using twice a day! lol. Nonetheless, awesome vid as always.
What about rubbing alcohol if you have oily skin. I find this extremely effective along with extremely hot showers with a luffa for areas that accumulate more dead skin. (I actually use sandpaper sometimes) These two combined extremely hot water and alcohol seems to remove acne for me within three days if not give me an immediate change. Bare in mind I’m a guy who gets acne from TRT and I have been a breakdancer, bodybuilder and martial artist. Breakdancing means a lot of abrasion on points of contact palms shoulders knees elbows back. I’ve always been a very naturally physically tough person and I’m not terribly troubled by things like bloody knuckles or calluses or rug burn. I generally shrug that stuff of as nothing at all so I might have particularly durable skin that heals well. But I used to get really bad acne on my back and I tried basically lightly scolding my back in my mind as a way of disinfection and after doing that for a week or two I stop getting bad acne in that area for the rest of my life until recently with TRT. So I am not sure if I just essentially killed my pours making it impossible to get acne or if I did somehow remove some bacteria that had settled their. But since then anytime I get a flair up I go back to that and I noticed I’m getting a lot of build up of dead skin so I’ve been doing a bit of abrasion on purposes and the alcohol was my mothers suggestion. Again I would never suggest that others attempt it because I have the opposite of sensitive skin. But I am just curious why alcohol which simultaneously removes oil and disinfects isn’t something people use with oily acned skin. Perhaps I’m too much of a brute but it doesn’t seem to cause me problems. I will say this isn’t a daily thing I do these things for a few days until I see a decrease in symptoms and then I let my skin recover. I am curious about retinol but it sounds really uncomfortable to me.

Hi Dr. Lim, always love your content! I noticed there is a laser called N-lite Pulse Dye Laser in my local dermatologist office. Are you familiar with this laser? It says it can help with post inflammatory Erythema and also help with indented scar.
I see a lot of TH-camrs raving about not washing in the morning, or at least just rinsing with water and no face wash. Could it be better for some skin types and not others to skip it? I have very dry skin, I can go to bed shiny from serums and moisturizer, then wake up and my skin is bone dry. Just curious what's best.
I have dry skin too. I don't wash my face in the morning and it really helps. Just make sure you have a clean pillow/bedding and you should be good. I'd recommend getting a hydrating cleanser as well as a SA one (I got both from CeraVe) and to alternate them every night.

Dr. Davin, As someone who wants to begin C02 laser therapy, is the "Tetra C02 Coolpeel" just as powerful? I've been told it is, but I'm curious what you think. I've spent a lot of money on improving my scars and I really just want to nip it in the bud. I saw the video of "one of your favorite patients" about my age, in her 20s.. you said that she got the C02 over the course of a year, every 8 weeks? Was this a C02 laser that required a lot of downtime? Or was it similar to the Tetra Coolpeel in that it requires very little downtime?
Okay so I just received Adapalene 0.3 today for my face chest and legs. My derm also gave me CeraVe Acne control cleanser 2% Salicylic Acid Sample as well confused on how I should be using them 🤦🏽♂️
I lost my confidence these past few days.. I was really breakouts. Especially on the forehead, I didn't know I was going to do it because I had used facial wash and skin cares and researched. So far until now,my forehead still full of acne i hope you'll help me. I can't afford dermatologist checkup 😞😞😞
Clenziderm lotion 5%by OBAGI is the game changer too highly recommended by dermatologist too👌 additionaly elimination completely sugar milk in your diet and also cosmetics which are clogging you pores.

Step 2 : Prescription Retinoids (tretinoin, adapalene)
Step 3 : Simple moisturizer
Stick with it for at least 6 weeks.
Another tips is sunscreen, diet, exercise, sleep, drink water.

Recent follower, love the content. Off topic, I think I MIGHT have bought a Mont Blanc Meisterstuck chronographer from you about 15yrs ago lol
Im using tretioin 0.025% cream to treat ance. Today is my 8 weeks of usage. At first few weeks, Acne keep growing on whole face. it made me streefull. The key is patient and always hydrate the skin.. day by day amount of acne in my face slowly decrease..
I use snail bee lotion and serum. they really hydrate my skin. N use gel cleanser which don't dry my face after cleansing..
Fried foods, soda, caffeine, SUGAR, alcohol to be avoided.
@@miaash3870 yeah true.. i also do exercises 5 days a week. I avoid milk, n eat less sugar n oil..
@@stanner200 AVOID fried foods at all times!

Reversing Disease Naturally: Natural Non-toxic Remedies and Forbidden Cures They Do Not Want You to, by Mike Cavalli
you might need to use something that kills the bacteria/dries out the pimple (benzoyl peroxide, azelaic acid, niacinamide) in the morning and the retinoid at night
@@anja6548 yess in my lotion n serum also contain niacinamide
Wow, what a clear and informative video! I am hopefully getting a retin A prescription from my GP tomorrow:) However, besides acne, Eyelid dermatitis is also my issue. Any tips to prevent eyelid irritation while using this acne treatment you outlined?
Can you talk about pimples on the hairline / on the scalp and how to fix this!
my first doctor didn't even warned me about the food I take. even scolded me for saying such coz it doesn't have any basis. I keep going back to him for checkups. he was able to stop my acne for some time but it came back + ugly scars.
I just transferred to another doctor... I think he's doing well. I have cystic acne for years already and I'm already 32 this year. ends up badly as scars... I hope for the best this time.
1st week of doxycycline is done. 😊
I am so frustrated I’ve taken accutane at 15yrs, 17yrs, 24yrs and now 42yrs. I’ve tried it all !Accutane definitely helped but my face is still red and has little pimple coming and going. I used benzac from 26 yrs old to 30yrs. Now I use salicylic acid. I take photos all the time but the redness is so frustrating. Now I have pimples on my neck. In lock down now I am trying to just not wear any make up. Yes if you try too much you will have a big reaction. As a teen I used tea tree oil, yogurt mask, benzac. I probably over washed my face and it turned into a huge rash. Now I am 42 and still have issues
It is great to have all the helpful & professional advice weekly.
THANK YOU
Thank you my dear doctor...i wait mor info for melasma... after your advice my face is beautiful special in this time of year 🌨️
There's definitely a reason to why I came across this video on TH-cam: th-cam.com/users/Jyovis of Jyovis Ayurveda and I was very happy to see the results. I even followed few of the tips explained and it actually worked. Then I finally decided to contact on ...... (+917208190693) to cure my Problem from the root cause. The team really helped me a lot. Thank you Jyovis!
This worked for me! Thanks!!
Hello Doctor😀 .. you are the only one who can answer my question. I bought tazarotene online .. it did not cause me any itching or reaction .. how can I make sure that the product contains 0.1% tazarotene ? .. it is a cream by the way.
i will appreciate your help.❤
My routine is..
AM: Cleanser, 2.5% Benzoyl peroxide treatment, 10% niacinamide serum, SPF
PM: Cleanser, 10% niacinamide serum, 0.05% tretinoin.
My skin is the best it has ever been, unfortunately now I notice all the scars because everything else is so clear.
I phased moisturizer out of my routine, I don't need it, the serum is good enough.
Please share the brand names of the cleanser and serum.
@@annekimuhu4108 Right now, I use CeraVe Foaming cleanser, but I'm not stuck on using only this, when it runs out I might buy Cetaphil which doesn't foam at all but I like it too.
The serum I'm using is from a Vietnamese brand, it's called "She's Niacinamide in Licorice".
love this guy, so simple and easy
Dr. Davin, I really appreciate your opinion on skincare products. Would you please make a video on The Truth Treatment Systems 5% retinol gel & 1% retinol gel? THANK YOU
These products are really EXPENSIVE!
These products seem to have highly positive reviews!
I just found your channel and first I really appreciate the care you put in your videos.
I have been to my DM and was told I have normal acne as well as acne due to medication causing oily skin.
I am on doxycycline for 3 months, as well as Tretinoin cream like you said the bedtime 3x a week spread out. It feels like it’s making my face worse and my face is in pain most of the time, my DM said that it will get worse before it gets better. I have been on for almost 3 months now with no improvement.
I kinda feel hopeless and it’s starting to really affect me. I was hoping for your opinion on this since you stated if there’s irritation to stop use.
Another professional opinion would be amazing. Thank you!
I've been on Differin 0.1% for months now, and it's doing really an excellent job. But when do you suggest the use of 0.3%?
Thank you Dr for this video !
The Neutrogena cleanser works good but the fragrance is really too strong so I was thinking about the Cerave SA since it's now available in France as well.
I alsa had great results with azelaic acid (the ordinary). very effective and a little goes a long way, I definitively recommand it.
Thank you Dr Davin for your straight forward advice ❤️❤️❤️

Would you recommend vitamin C moisturizer?
I think he got that estimation wrong. 40-50 days on the cleanser? My Cerave SA Renewing Cleanser 8oz lasted for 8 months using twice a day! lol. Nonetheless, awesome vid as always.
You're amazing Dr. Davin!
AND sunscreen in the morning ❤️
... which will be hard to enforce on my son 😢
Wow.. really solutive and simple step hahaha i'm from Indonesia 🇲🇨 dr Davin, thank you! ❤️
Hello there,
Can you make videos about Haircare and how to prevent hair loss problems?
Enjoy your day,
Thanks
😇
It was really helpful and very simple. Thankyou ❤️
I’ve used salicylic acid, dha& aha, Glycolic acid , Hyaluronic acid and Azelaic acid in the past years non have worked.
Great Thanks to you Doctor 👏🏻
I wish you had an office in Singapore 🥺 would love to visit you for advice
What about rubbing alcohol if you have oily skin. I find this extremely effective along with extremely hot showers with a luffa for areas that accumulate more dead skin. (I actually use sandpaper sometimes) These two combined extremely hot water and alcohol seems to remove acne for me within three days if not give me an immediate change. Bare in mind I’m a guy who gets acne from TRT and I have been a breakdancer, bodybuilder and martial artist. Breakdancing means a lot of abrasion on points of contact palms shoulders knees elbows back. I’ve always been a very naturally physically tough person and I’m not terribly troubled by things like bloody knuckles or calluses or rug burn. I generally shrug that stuff of as nothing at all so I might have particularly durable skin that heals well. But I used to get really bad acne on my back and I tried basically lightly scolding my back in my mind as a way of disinfection and after doing that for a week or two I stop getting bad acne in that area for the rest of my life until recently with TRT. So I am not sure if I just essentially killed my pours making it impossible to get acne or if I did somehow remove some bacteria that had settled their. But since then anytime I get a flair up I go back to that and I noticed I’m getting a lot of build up of dead skin so I’ve been doing a bit of abrasion on purposes and the alcohol was my mothers suggestion. Again I would never suggest that others attempt it because I have the opposite of sensitive skin. But I am just curious why alcohol which simultaneously removes oil and disinfects isn’t something people use with oily acned skin. Perhaps I’m too much of a brute but it doesn’t seem to cause me problems. I will say this isn’t a daily thing I do these things for a few days until I see a decrease in symptoms and then I let my skin recover. I am curious about retinol but it sounds really uncomfortable to me.
Sand paper😳..
Alcohol is gonna age you fast and sandpaper can cause micro tears in your skin. You should try the routine in this video 😊
Omg..... I have no words
I tried all these but still had acne. The ONLY thing that worked was Accutane.
Thank you so much. I can't wait to come see you for my acne scarring.

Hi Dr. Lim, always love your content! I noticed there is a laser called N-lite Pulse Dye Laser in my local dermatologist office. Are you familiar with this laser? It says it can help with post inflammatory Erythema and also help with indented scar.
You are just amazing sir
Keep it up
Thank you Doc. for the advice. I appreciate it
I think it’s debatable whether or not retinoids reduce oil production. Does anybody have a study investigating that?
I see a lot of TH-camrs raving about not washing in the morning, or at least just rinsing with water and no face wash. Could it be better for some skin types and not others to skip it? I have very dry skin, I can go to bed shiny from serums and moisturizer, then wake up and my skin is bone dry. Just curious what's best.
I have dry skin too. I don't wash my face in the morning and it really helps. Just make sure you have a clean pillow/bedding and you should be good. I'd recommend getting a hydrating cleanser as well as a SA one (I got both from CeraVe) and to alternate them every night.
I love your videos. Simple- clear total fan
Great video! Can you recommend any specific brands for cleanser/moisturiser? I'm in the UK. Have been using Cerave but not in love with it.
Have you tried vanicream?
Thank you for the informative video, stay safe x

Dr. Dav can you give a opinion about double cleansing method? Or how to cleanse the face after using sunscreen? Thank you^^
Hi! I think you are awesome. I love simple. I will do this.
I have 2 questions:
1. Can I use niacinamide in the morning and Epiduo at night ?
2. Should I use a moisturiser after I apply epiduo at night ?
Bugger I hope retinoids become available over the counter in NZ
Dr. Davin,
As someone who wants to begin C02 laser therapy, is the "Tetra C02 Coolpeel" just as powerful? I've been told it is, but I'm curious what you think. I've spent a lot of money on improving my scars and I really just want to nip it in the bud. I saw the video of "one of your favorite patients" about my age, in her 20s.. you said that she got the C02 over the course of a year, every 8 weeks? Was this a C02 laser that required a lot of downtime? Or was it similar to the Tetra Coolpeel in that it requires very little downtime?
Okay so I just received Adapalene 0.3 today for my face chest and legs. My derm also gave me CeraVe Acne control cleanser 2% Salicylic Acid Sample as well confused on how I should be using them 🤦🏽♂️
I am missing the sunscreen, when dealing with retinoids 😊
My derma asked me to use Adapalene as spot treatment. I never went back for a follow-up check up. :(
Can you please advise if retinoids are safe to use while breastfeeding? There is so much conflicting advice on this subject.
Great video!
I lost my confidence these past few days.. I was really breakouts. Especially on the forehead, I didn't know I was going to do it because I had used facial wash and skin cares and researched. So far until now,my forehead still full of acne i hope you'll help me. I can't afford dermatologist checkup 😞😞😞
Clenziderm lotion 5%by OBAGI is the game changer too highly recommended by dermatologist too👌
additionaly elimination completely sugar milk in your diet and also cosmetics which are clogging you pores.
Adapelene aggravated my hyperpigmentation which was too much for me so I stopped ☹
Thank you Dr handsome...
I always love your videos

Ok I visited GP for my breakout and was told to use retioid on acne. The breakout stopped then started again for 2 months
Hello, will the Cerave AM moisturizer protect me from the sun? And are the Neutrogena sunscreens good? Thank you!
Thanks doc. Will start today
Great content thank you so so much
Doc, Which moisturiser do you recommend for my Oily acne prone sensitive skin.
