Lightweight, fragrance-free moisturizer helps sensitive, dehydrated skin; sticky texture noted.

What the community says

A thin but nourishing lotion that many find hydrating without breakouts. It suits sensitive, rosacea-prone, and dry skin by supporting the skin barrier. Some users dislike the sticky feel or report irritation, so YMMV on tolerance.

I found a moisturizer I could tolerate - **Vanicream Enhanced Moisturizer**

Why I think it helped: a *moisturizer* I can tolerate is obviously going to help my skin barrier

**TLDR:** this combo has made my skin the most reliably clear it's been in years - moisturizer for skin barrier and dryness, sulfur soap for rosacea and acne.

Finally, I am able to use a face moisturizer I tolerate so at least my skin barrier is getting some time to heal (Vanicream Enhanced Moisturizer).

Now that I finally found a moisturizer I tolerate

I’m using the same products that you are, clindamycin, azeliac acid, and Vanicream for a moisturizer.
