Moisturizer for Acne Scarred Skin

Hello guys and gals,

 

Iโ€™m looking for recommendations for a facial moisturizer that:

 

(1) Addresses acne scars

(2) Mosturizes without drying or without making skin oily

(3) Does not cause more acne!

 

I have combination skin with acne scars that Iโ€™m trying to get rid of with a good cream before I have to resort to in-office exfoliation procedures.

 

Any help much appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Re: Moisturizer for Acne Scarred Skin

Hi @ksdjhkdhkjdsjdg for acne scars I've used Murad InvisiScar Post-Acne Resurfacing Treatment 0.5 oz/ 15 mL which works amazing. Also using a chemical exfoliation like YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE - Kombucha + 11% AHA Exfoliation Power Toner, The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner 3.4 oz/ 100 mL or Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner 5.07 oz/ 150 mL and a vitamin C serum like SEPHORA COLLECTION - Ultra Glow Serum: Glow + Strengthen Vitamin C Serum, Summer Fridays CC Me Vitamin C + Niacinamide Serum 1.0 oz/ 30 mL , or DRUNK ELEPHANT - C-Firmaโ„ข Vitamin C Day Serum will help with scarring and texture! As far as a good moisturizer that will hydrate without making you oily TATCHA - The Water Cream, BELIF - The True Cream Aqua Bomb, Drunk Elephant Protiniโ„ข Polypeptide Firming Refillable Moisturizer 1.69 oz/ 50 mL are all amazing as well ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks so much for taking your time to respond in such detail Brenda! ๐Ÿ™‚ I appreciate all the suggestions. The Murad treatment seems like something I might try. Already own the AMAZING Tatcha Water cream! For some reason, Drunk Elephant products break me out so Iโ€™ll skip on those. Also tried Olehenriksenโ€™s Vitamin C serum ... which also broke me out. Just purchased Tatchaโ€™s Violet-C serum to see how it will work since none of the Tatcha products Iโ€™ve tried so far have ever broken me out. If Tatchaโ€™s brightening serum fails, I will try the rest of the products youโ€™ve recommended. Thank you! โ˜บ๏ธ
