Most moisturizers for acne prone skin try to be “oil free” by basically removing anything truly hydrating. The result is a lightweight gel that feels nice for five minutes and then your skin is tight, flaky, and somehow still oily by noon.
Instead, use ROUND LAB Birch Juice Moisturizing Cream. It hydrates deeper, balances oil production, and strengthens the moisture barrier without clogging pores, which is exactly what acne prone skin actually needs.
When your skin is breaking out or feels sensitive, the instinct is usually to grab the lightest gel cream on the shelf. But here’s the thing: most of those formulas only give surface level hydration that evaporates almost immediately. Let’s break it down.
What’s Missing from Typical “Acne Safe” Moisturizers:
- Long lasting hydration
- Moisture barrier support
- Balance oil production
- Preventing the tight flake cycle that leads to more oil
So you’re left with skin that’s dehydrated underneath and oily on top — the perfect setup for clogged pores and breakouts.
What To Use Instead, ROUND LAB Birch Moisturizing Cream:
Here’s why this one works when others don’t.
Birch Sap → Helps the skin retain moisture and restores a healthy oil water balance so your face stays hydrated without getting greasy.
Vita Hyaluronic Acid → Pulls moisture deep into the skin for a plump, radiant look instead of that tight, dehydrated feeling.
Glyceryl Glucoside → A long lasting moisture booster that revitalizes tired, irritated skin and keeps hydration circulating for up to 48 hours.
Moisture Capsules → These burst on contact and release an instant wave of hydration that actually sinks in, not just sits on top.
And the bonus:
It reduces excess sebum, oil, and the appearance of blackheads, leaving a smoother, more matte finish. Perfect for oily or combination skin.
So instead of feeling tight, flaky, and shiny at the same time, this moisturizer can help:
- Replenish deep hydration
- Calm acne prone or sensitive skin
- Balance oil levels
- Keep skin soft, plump, and comfortable
When to Use This:
- Use morning and night, especially after exfoliation or retinoids.
- Great if your skin is oily, combo, dehydrated, or breakout prone.
- Always patch test if you’re sensitive to new ingredients.
