It is important to identify your skin type and issues before proceeding with recommending some moisturizers. A good moisturizer for acne-prone skin should have a good balance of occlusive, humectant, emollient and anti-inflammatory properties. Common ingredients used in moisturizers for acne-prone skin include aloe vera, bisabolol and glycerin.

In addition to tips shared by my colleagues so far, you may also consider and benefit from hydrating skinboosters, of which there are a number available currently, which help to hydrate the skin from within. These also help with improving skin texture, tone and elasticity in addition to providing moisturizarion. Hope this helps!
