Trupti, the best one I've used is Cetaphil moisturizing lotion. If you're looking for one with SPF, try Oil of Olay UV complete or Garnier Nutritioniste facial moisturizer with SPF.
ReplyDeleteThose tiny bumps you're experiencing is not necessarily acne, it maybe you're allergic to something in the moisturizer you're using. Sometimes you have to try a few brands out before you find one that works for you. Cetaphil is the brand most dermatologists recommend if you have sensitive skin, give it a try. They make an SPF version for daytime use too, but I was allergic to the sunscreen they used in it, and it made my eyes sting. I use Olay during the day now,and Cetaphil at night. Can't say enough about Cetaphil, even my babies use it, it's that gentle.
