Do you have a favorite moisturizer?

I have combination skin, mostly it's dry and I get breakouts on my arms sometimes, sometimes on my back and thighs too it's not sometimes I can control and it's not for lack of hygiene- it's a hormonal issue for me.
I've tried lightweight moisturizers but my skin doesn't absorb them.
I've gone the route of natural organic coconut oil which helps a little but I can tell it's not being a absorbed well by my skin.

(I actually can't wait until the farmers market comes back so I can stock up on this body butter this lady makes with organic oils- which really helps the most)

I use one I had for acne in the past

I have cerave (SA) and I only use it on my face but once it's absorbed I have to go over it on some of the dryer areas with a heavier moisturizer so I don't dry out too badly.

@Tristemuneca: im not very dry, my body functions are quite well working, but it's when I shower with too strong chemicals. Perhaps that's why you need it too?

@MartinTheFirst: no i try and use only natural products with as little chemicals as possible.

However I have a hormonal imbalance that stems from a hormone secreting tumor which is very likely on my pituitary gland.
I will be having further imaging and testing to pinpoint the location of the tumor and consult with a brain surgeon to have it removed...

Thank you @MartinTheFirst: no sad faces. I need this issue fixed because my skin issues are only cosmetic but there are other very serious complications if I don't have it removed.
My skin is the least of my worries, my liver kidneys and spleen are enlarged as well as my left lung. They may never go back down to normal size so if I go on many more years like this than I already have it could lead to organ failure 🤦🏻‍♀️
