If You Answered… Mostly As

Try the Vichy Normaderm PhytoAction Acne Control Daily Moisturizer. Acne-prone skin types need moisture — in fact, sometimes if you dry out your skin too much, it will start to produce excess sebum, which can lead to more breakouts. This lightweight formula hydrates with a mix of hyaluronic acid and volcanic water, but it also helps fight acne using 2% salicylic acid. Vitamin C adds a brightening bonus. 

If You Answered… Mostly Bs

Try the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer. Formulated with ceramide-3, niacinamide and glycerin, it helps repair the skin’s natural moisture barrier and soothe irritation, even on sensitive skin. The texture is creamy without feeling heavy, and it provides up to 48 hours of hydration.

If You Answered… Mostly Cs

Try the Garnier Green Labs Hyalu-Aloe Hydrating Serum Gel. This unique, lightweight gel combines three products in one: a moisturizer, an eye cream and a serum. Hyaluronic acid and aloe deliver hydration without exacerbating shine on oily and combination complexions. 

If You Answered… Mostly Ds

Try the Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Anti-Aging Cream for Face and Neck. The rich, nourishing formula with vitamin A, hyaluronic acid and chaga mushroom  helps target the visible signs of aging, including wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture.
