Hey,
I have a strange type of skin. My face gets dry a lot, but when I put the cream on, it gets very oily. I get break outs , I never did when I was a teenager ( I am 24 now).
I don't know what kind of cream to get. My skin is very very sensitive, can't find the right brand, the right kind. Please help!! :confused:

I know of a really soft moisterizer that Oil of Olay puts out. I use it all the time for my face and my mom for hers. It should also be mentioned that my mom has rosacea, a skin disease that can be accompanied by flushing of the face and a burning sensation on the cheeks. Her rosacea is "triggered" by some lotions, alcohol, heat etc.
The odd thing about the Oil of Olay lotion is that it's not oily. It must not be an oil base or something. It's so light! The official product name is Complete All Day UV Moisture Lotion (it can come with or without SPF 15). Then there are specific mixtures for oily, normal, dry, sensitive, etc. What drew me to it, though was "Combination/Oily." So, if you can find it (and if you can't, I know Amazon has it), try it out and see how it is!
Good luck!

If you have sensitive skin, avoid using scented or colored moisturizers. Look for hypoallergenic moisturizers. Hypoallergenic products won't irritate your skin.
