Cream recommendation ?

Hello everyone I'm here to ask for advice.

I used Soon jung x2 barrier" as a moisturizer for years. Since the reformulation I can no longer use it (my pores get clogged, my skin get red and dry).. I've tried a lot of different moisturizers since then, but I haven't found one that works for my skin. I'm kinda desperate, my skin has been looking worse and worse :/.

Do you have any moisturizer recommendations?

My skin type is Sensitive (very), acne-prone, dehydrated, combination (Fun type x). I have clogged pore easily -on my cheeks- when the cream is too thick but dry when not =x= and last but not least my skin tend to HATE silicone, I know is not bad for skin but when I use cream who contain a lot of silicone my pores get so clogged.

Thanks in advance to those who take the time to reply ♥ ♥

I already try Cicalfate and Cicaplast b5 but my skin hate it (and I hate the too much thick and sticky texture of B5).

I kinda love Byoma one but not my fav.

But I didn't know the other ones. Thank you so much for the names I give a look on ! ^^

Hi. The examples I am sharing I use. Try Purito B5 Panthenol Re-Barrier Cream (old name) if you can find it. (New name: Purito Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream - the ingredient list looks very similar.) Both of these have Sodium Hyaluronate so don’t use anything else with that in your routine, it adds to dehydration. My main moisturizer is Purito Dermide which has been fantastic for my skin barrier but it may be too rich for you. Like you, I use nothing with silicone.

Hi ^^, (I'm super late >.<) Thank you very much, I've already tried Purito B5 unfortunately it gives me pimples (don't know why, I read a lot of acne prone skin love this one, but not mine haha) but I started using Dermide and it's really good (I just can't use it on my chin, in that area the product gives me a lot of pimples) but for the rest of my face it's really good.

Hello! I have the same skin type (and I get hyperpigmentation and redness and I just turned 39, so I get to look forward to aging). I also hate it when I find something that works for me and then they reformulate it (cough cough I'm looking at you, Gold Bond) - I basically never stop doing market research because it happens all the time.

Try Minimalist Ceramide and Madecassoside. It's got the ideal ratio of ceramides to fatty acids to cholesterol, so it's awesome for barrier repair as well as madecassoside for soothing and ursolic acid which (if I understand correctly) helps your own skin with barrier repair.

Hello :D, thank you for reply and suggestions! I didn't know these creams, I put them on my "To try" list.

It's very annoying when a product that works well for MANY people is reformulated... :'(

Hello!! I have very similar skin to you it sounds like. I'm currently using vanicream daily facial moisturizer and it is working wonders. It has ceramides and no silicones. I highly recommend. Cheap price too!
