How do you choose a moisturizer when your skin is dry but also breaks out?

Heavy creams help the dryness but sometimes clog me. Light moisturizers don’t feel enough. Has anyone found a balance?

Patch test and change one thing at a time. Dry acne-prone skin can be picky, and guessing gets expensive fast.

Look at your cleanser too. I thought I needed a heavier moisturizer, but my cleanser was stripping my skin. Switching to a gentle cleanser helped the dryness and breakouts.

Gel-cream moisturizers were my compromise. They hydrate without feeling heavy. I still use a thicker cream only on dry patches at night.
