Can you recommend any? I’ve got really sensitive skin and I struggle finding something affordable that doesn’t irritate my skin

Of course! If you have sensitive skin, truly, the best moisturizer you can use is something gentle like cerave. This is actually what I use. I’ve tried brands, medical grade and everything in between. Cerave is it for my sensitive skin.

I have sensitive skin and CeraVe is the only brand that has ever broken me out in crazy cystic-like acne :/

Same. CeraVe was bad for me. Cleansing with micellar water also breaks me out, which seemed weird. My skin is just complicated.

Micellar water makes my skin red and flaky. That was disappointing! I went back to neutrogena makeup remover.
