5 Best Moisturizers For Acne Prone Skin in India

It took me a while to find Best Moisturizers For Acne Prone Skin in India. I tested and tried many and there were some hits and misses. I am going to list down 5 Best Moisturizers For Acne Prone Skin that went well with my dry and acne prone skin-

All the Moisturizers For Acne Prone Skin I am listing down have been used by me, its not a copy-paste article from google. All the products have been linked to their detailed reviews – 

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+*

This is one lotion that I apply every night while going to bed. Its one of the intense and Best Moisturizers For Acne Prone Skin in India. You can judge by the amount left in the bottle. Its expensive but one pump bottle will last you atleast 3 months. Its fragrance free and has a non-sticky texture. You can get “Gel” formula in case your skin is oily. Formula is fragrance free, non-comedogenic and Dermalogicaly tested. Only downside with Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+  that it doesn’t come with SPF.

Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum* –

I am on my Second bottle of this serum. Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum is full of antioxidants and has made a visible difference in the texture of my skin. It has lightened acne scars and made my soft. I use two pumps of this serum every morning after thoroughly cleansing my face and let it sink into the skin. Its a good product to use alongwith regular moisturizer during winters and can be used along during summers. It moisturizes without being greasy. Remember all the products I am listing as for “Dry Acne prone skin”

Neutrogena Oil Free Moisturizer –

This is one of the Best Moisturizers For Acne Prone Skin. Its oil free, fragrance free, non-comedogenic and Dermalogicaly tested formula. It also has spf 15 that makes it good enough to be worn indoors, however a higher spf is required incase you are going out . Only downside is that the formula is quite rich and takes time to absorb, so less is more.

Vichy Normaderm Tri-Activ Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care

Vichy Normaderm range is specially formulated for acne prone troubled skin. I have used both day and night creams from this range and have loved the results. Vichy Normaderm Tri Active formula is non-greasy and sinks into the skin immedietly. Due to presence of salicylic acid, LHA and glycolic acid it improves skin texture and helps in fading acne marks to an extent. Only downside is that it doesn’t come with spf.

Olay Regenerist Regenerating Cream SPF 15

This cream is for those who have crossed 30 and looking for a good anti ageing cream for their acne prone skin. Olay Regenerist Regenerating Cream is very moisturizing yet non-greasy day cream that comes with broad spectrum spf 15. It lives upto its anti agening claims without aggravating acne. It improved texture of my skin and faded fine lines on my forehead and nose. I would love to repurchase it in future

Apart from the 5 moisturizers listed above I am testing Avon Anew Vitale Day Cream SPF 25* currently. I will have a detailed review up soon, but initial impression of this cream is good. Formula is light weight and has SPF 25 UVA/UVB protection. It doesn’t leave a white cast. I prefer using a moisturizer with some spf even when I am indoors. Only downside is that due to the presence of spf it makes me shiny.

I hope you enjoyed my own list of “5 Best Moisturizers For Acne Prone Skin in India”. I have very sensitive skin and not everything labelled as “non-comedogenic” works for it.  

Do share your favorite day cream/ moisturizers with me 🙂
