Moisturizer vs. Breakout Problem Solved!
As one prone to both breakouts and dryness, I have been mystified by moisturizer ever since I first learned about it in middle school. While it wasn't completely off-limits, it definitely went nowhere near my T-zone. Since then, I've slathered anything and everything on my cheeks in pursuit of dewiness, promptly following up with a cotton ball saturated in rubbing alcohol, for anything that may have, you know, infiltrated the zone.
But Tammy Fender's Clarifying Dermagel, I've discovered, is hydrating and soothing and leaves my face feeling revived, in a glowing-from-the-inside way, without an ounce of oil. I literally drench my face with it, chin and all. It smells appealingly homeopathic-like those roll-on tubes of tea tree oil you get at a health food store (which I also used compulsively in middle school)-plus it's antiseptic and all natural.
While my routine has come a long way, this is truly the first moisturizer I have found that doesn't warrant a no-fly zone.
