This $20 moisturizer from La Roche-Posay is super gentle on my sensitive, acne-prone skin — it's great for anyone who wants something simple and affordable for everyday use

• Moisturizers with powerful ingredients like hyaluronic acid that actually improve your skin's health can often get pricey, but La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer costs only $20.
• This moisturizer doesn't contain synthetic fragrances, parabens, or oil so it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. Instead, it has hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and more to hydrate.
• I liked the moisturizer's formula so much that I also bought the daytime version with SPF as well as the facial cleanser — both were less than $20 each.

I have combination, acne- and redness-prone skin that's very sensitive — it's a real trip shopping for skincare products that won't irritate it even more. 

My current routine involves a cleanser and brightening vitamin C serum in the mornings, and a cleanser and a combo of alpha and beta hydroxy acids to target any acne and dead skin at night. I needed a moisturizer that would target dryness, make my skin feel bouncy instead of tight, and ultimately, not cause pimples or more redness — all without breaking the bank. See the rest of the story at Business Insider
