I have extremely acne prone skin and DDF is now the only brand I will use. The lite moisturizing dew is amazing. My skin does not break out at all. It keeps my skin hydrated without the heavy greasy feel. I also agree with a previous post that glycolic acid does work wonders. DDF carries a glycolic wash as well as a toner. I use the wash everyday and the toner twice a week. The dew is used every morning before I put my makeup on. My skin has seriously never looked better. It's worth a try :)

This product contains Squalene which is very comedogenic and may cause breakouts.

There is a Ultra-Lite Oil-Free Moisturizing Dew with SPF that probably carries the Skin Cancer Foundation seal but I can't imagine this one carrying it since there is no SPF. I have dry skin and find this dew a nice light and effective moisturizer without a heavy feel or without it clogging my pores which is a plus for me.

I am 44, but I had to throw away a lot of make up and harsh cleansers, I use an acne cleaner by neutrogena which I think is mild, DDF oil-free moisturizer, the glycolic acne/blemish gel also by DDF and other anti-oil items (i.e. make up); less cleaning works better sometimes so you don't aggravate your skin, I wanted firmness and acne free swkin (my skin is really acne prone at this age! agh!) I think I found a good combination through a lot of postings and reading the labels. Good luck!

This will not make you break out, but if yo have severely dry skin, this may not work for you. This is very lightweight. Or you may have to apply more than once a day. For a tinted moisturizer that has SPF 40, use eltaMD. It will not clog your pores.

While I'm not sure about the skin-cancer foundation seal, I can give you some advice that I think may be helpful regarding your skin. I would say that this moisturizer is definitely a good choice for oilier skin that is prone to breakouts. It's very lightweight and gentle but provides adequate hydration. I might suggest that along with this product you look into using a cleanser that contains glycolic acid. This type of cleanser will not only address the issues you are having with acne, but will also work as a chemical exfoliant to help with the dryness you are experiencing. What may need to happen, is that the excess dryness needs to be alleviated in order for proper hydration and acne reduction to take place. A low % "step up" glycolic cleanser like Glytone would be a great place to start. To be more specific, look for their mild gel wash. Unfortunately, Sephora doesn't carry their products, otherwise I would buy them there, but you can definitely seek it out online. I would try the combination of this moisturizer along with the cleanser I recommended for at least a month to see some real changes with your skin. Good luck!

I used DDF to prevent blemishes and moisturize at the same time and it worked fine for me.

If you have especially dry but blemish/acne prone skin, you might want to give Korres Youghurt Cream & Mask a try. It is especially for really dehydrated but oil-prone skin--it would moisturize your skin and because it is for oily skin would prevent any blemishes--it might be exactly what you are looking for.

I am using while pregnant.

Never been pregnant so I wouldn't know. I am certain that it is safe for pregnant women.

I'm not a "degree person" but I was pregnant twice and have two very healthy kids. I think it would be safe to use, your main concern should be harsh chemicals, such as hair color, relaxers, or fake nails, I stopped some of those treatments while pregnant. I would think it's more harmful to drink soda or coffee than to use this, even though I love coffee I also did without while pregnant. Congratulations, you're doing the right thing asking for information.

This product contains parabens (on the product label, not in Sephora's online description). Depends on your point-of-view if you want to avoid parabens during pregnancy.

yes

The regular oil-free dew has no SPF. There is a version with SPF 15.

No SPF. There is another DDF moisturizer that has SPF 15. You can get that one for $2 more.

It says SPF 15

I use the formula which does not contain a sunscreen. However, I believe there is one available with SPF 15, if I'm not mistaken.

This version does not have SPF but DDF just produced a SPF added version of this moisturizer. It is $2 more expensive and has SPF 15. Here is the link to the SPF added version of this moisturizer: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P211337&categoryId=RPYMAL&shouldPaginate=

I have fairly sensitive skin for all things "allergic" ...this product is perfect as it is hypo-allergenic.

I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin. I get reactions to things that you would never think. This stuff rocks for me - It even calms down my red/itchy/inflamed areas in the morning. Buy it!

Yes

This moisturizer is hypo-allergenic. In fact it is made for sensitive skin. It contains no dyes or fragrance.

Unfortunately no, I believe the product must have the phrase "Hypoallergenic" on it in order for it to be.

I also have combination skin, and this stuff is amazing! It does a wonderful job of moisturizing my dry spots, but it also is not too much for my oily t-zone. Sometimes I even have dry patches on my oily areas (weird!), and this product has been amazing for me.

This moisturizer was created to be light and not oily. It is also non comedogenic, meaning it will not clog pores.

I definitely recommend DDF products. When you need an SPF, try their mattifying moisturizers. They are great for problem skin.

This moisturizer is great. I have a combo of dry cheeks and a t-zone that's prone to breaking out (especially when it's warmer out) and this stuff actually helps combat the dry without feeling oily or greasy afterward.

This may help you balance your combo skin type, but it won't work alone, you may be using the wrong cleaner or too much alcohol in your toner (if), I have very oily skin and now that I've changed many things to oil free I can see the difference. It had nothing to do with my diet or dirty skin so don't wash too much, but I started to use things that were anti-shine, anti-oil, and stay away from anti-wrinkle stuff. And my diet also affects a lot, sugar and caffeine in my case, you need to find what triggers your acne, keep a diary for a few days until you can see a pattern, don't forget homonal changes. Last piece, try one or two things first before you embark on the whole line.

I am breakout-prone but haven't had any issues with this yet!

I have went from oily skin when I was younger to more oily and dry areas as I have gotten older and I have continued to love this product through all of the changes.

Absolutely, works for me. I go the other way, normal to oily skin, but the congested thing is the same. You will not be disappointed. I have noticed a really big difference in the quality of my skin and I am on my third bottle.

I think you would like it, I only use it at night because it doesn't have SPF. but it doesn't make my skin break out at all.

This is a great product. I pair it with Murad Tzone pore refining gel and have had great results. Try it out!

Eh, I'm not very sure. I know that I use Ole Henrickson's On The Go clenser with has natural beta hydroxy acid in it, and I can't use this for very long without my skin feeling dehydrated and sensitive around my nose and mouth. I think this one is a great product to use when its hot outside and you know you're gonna be sweating. That's all I can use it for.

yes you can, but if im not mistaken there is also a moisturizer you can you within the acne prone skin line if that's your case, otherwise should def be ok to use.

Yes. this is very mild and will not interact with anything.

I use a 5% gylcolic acid cleanser before using this moisturizer and I've not had any problems so far.

I also use a glycolic cleanser and this pairs wonderfully! It's my go to summer hydrator, so gentle and lightweight - I absolutely love it.

The biggest reason in the beauty industry behind creating moisturizers without sunscreen is because most individuals only want one moisturizer for morning and night. It is not good to wear SPF to bed because your skin cannot breath and heal itself properly. Moisturizers are also incredibly more effective at night because your body temperature rises and your skin can accept and absorb the product more deeply. I would suggest that you continue adding your additional SPF in the A.M. If you feel like your tugging at you skin, look for a small non absorbent sponge such as the Beauty Blender to apply your moisturizers. It will help with irritation and bacteria transfer from your hands.

My sisters dermatologist told us that wearing spf while outdoors keeps your skin protected because the rays of the sun damage your skin so always wear spf outdoors even when raining.

Personally I avoid SPF in my moisturizer because I have had bad reactions to some of the chemical sunscreens like avobenzone. (Physical UV blockers like titanium dioxide or zinc oxide are better tolerated, but very few products rely only on physical blockers.) In my case, I use the Ultra-Lite Moisturizing Dew underneath a foundation that does contain sunscreen. Also, DDF does make this product with SPF, if that's what you're looking for. Hope this helps!

Thank You. So you are saying that if I ever get irratitation then I may wanna try it this way, going separate. I don't wear makeup, not that guys don't. But should I get any irritation, maybe try a regimen without it and add it only when needed. And to take it one step further than you did -- not only NOT needing it overnight, but maybe avoiding it while out in the evening when the sun has set. Might that be OK

This doesn't bother my eyes. It is very gentle. You may want to buy a seperate eye cream that is more moisturizing though.

I would avoid using this product around the eye area, and avoid getting it into your eyes as the bottle states (especially if it's the formula containing sunscreen, which can be very irritating). Investing in an eye cream, gel or serum is the best way to go. Moisturizers are not typically intended for the eye area, even one this lightweight. Apply moisturizers only up to the orbital bone (which is basically the bone that creates your eye socket). Apply your eye specific products just above the orbital bone and around the outside of your eye (in a C-like pattern), no need to get close up right on your eye as products tend to creep up a bit on the skin anyway. Look for one that is opthalmologist tested as well.

I find it safe to use around the eye area. The first couple of days of using it under my eyes and around the nose, it did sting the skin a little but it was totally tolerable. after a couple of days my skin got used to it and it does not sting anymore when I apply. The benifits are far greater than the slight sting I first had. Awesome stuff!!

The effects of aging skin (dryness, loss of elasticity, wrinkles) are the result of the skin's declining ability to retain moisture. So the main ingredients listed do help with the moisturizer's claim to have anti-aging effects depending on level of age that your skin is experiencing. So if you have fairly young skin with nothing but fine lines around the eyes like me, then you'd do well to use this. But honestly any moisturizer that works well with your skin type and concerns is anti-aging.

Adding *good* moisture to a person's skin is always a bonus to the anti-aging timeline!

I'm in my mid forties and have oily skin, my main concern was acne more so than aging, but I have noticed better firmnes in the skin, I can't tell if it's the moisturizer or the glycolic/oil control gel by DDF (bought the gel by accident too) which I am using daily. Aging could be many things, I have sun spots and used clarins brighteners (excuse misspellings) which worked better than Murad. I had to make a decision, was my skin worth spending money on? the answer was yes, but I have to be selective. Good luck with your choice!
