'I have blemish-prone skin and this is the only moisturiser I'll use now'

ok.co.uk:

A moisturiser is a crucial part of many people's skincare regimen, but finding the perfect one can be a challenge; if it's too light, it may not provide enough hydration for dry skin, and if it's too heavy, it could potentially clog pores and trigger breakouts.

As a beauty editor, I've tested literally hundreds of face creams throughout my career, and honestly, I've found it difficult to discover ones that I genuinely adore and would repurchase; many cause my blemish-prone skin to flare up, while those with a water- or gel-like consistency aren't sufficiently hydrating to adequately moisturise dry, flaky areas.

In fact, I often bypass moisturiser entirely, moving directly from serum to SPF. However, this Medik8 formula has been a complete revelation.
