Moisturizers for oily, acne-prone skin?

Post Content

I started tretinoin 0.025% cream last week and I’m starting to notice some dryness. I usually use La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair and it’s been okay, but I feel like I need something more moisturizing now. The problem is my skin really doesn’t tolerate heavy creams, especially ones that sit on the skin or feel occlusive. I tried Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer and it felt smothering and caused breakouts. Any lightweight but more hydrating options? Thank you
