I have developed an oil-free, SPF 15, chemical-free daily moisturizer that my acne, rosacea, and sunscreen-allergic patients just love. It contains oil-free hydrators like cyclomethicone and titanium dioxide. Dr Mary Lupo Daily Age Management SPF 15 Oil Free Moisturizer is available at www.drmarylupo.com. Zinc oxide is another ingredient great for oily or acne prone skin. Of course, there are other oil free products available at the drug store. Just read the labels and look for these ingredients.
