Does anyone have any recommendations for a good oil-free moisturizer? Today my dermatologist said that I need to cut down on the amount of oil I was putting on my hair because it was contributing to my face breaking out.

ohh that is soo true. i always use pink oil moisturizing lotion when i blowdry my hair. it's the best and i have tried soo many different ones. i even tried some blowdrying stuff from sebastian laminates but it didn't give my hair the moisture or oil it needs. i would love to use the pink oil all the time, even when i'm not blowdrying but i can't because of my face.
so why don't you just use spray leave in's? for example what you can do is purchase a spray bottle. then you put some distilled water in it and add a creamy leave in. i do that with the herbal essences leave in and it works pretty well. or in the am you can just wet your hair a little bit and then put the creamy leave in in your hair. that's what i do and my face got a lot better. i also cut down on my lust serum.
another thing you should consider when having breakouts is your pillowcase. i never thought about it until i read that advice on an acne web site. the pillow case collects dirt whenever you lay your head on it. especially the oils/products you have in your hair and the dirt that sit in your (and everybody's) hair will rub off on the pillow. so i put a big t shirt over my pillow. and every night i turn it around. so one t shirt lasts four nights.
i'm sorry for writing so much, but i hope this will work for you as well as it did for me.
nay

When my hair was relaxed I really liked ORS Carrot Oil Cream. It isn't greasy at all. If you like lotion moisturizers check out All Ways Oil Moisturizer, Beauty Without Cruelty Revitalize Leave-In Conditioner (kokogm.com/Products/bw-45468.html), Salerm 21 con Proteinas de Seda (metrobeauty.com), Elasta QP Recovery and Biosysthesis PHinish (myhealthyhair.com/yourhealthyhair.htm).
 
Right now, I'm using ORS's Olive Oil Moisturizer. It is really thick, but it isn't heavy or greasy at all to me. I love the scent.

I would have never thought of this. I'm going to try it with some of the stuff I already have.

This is a really good idea. I'm definitely going to try this out tonight.

Karonica I absolutely love this stuff but I think it has too much oil in it.

Not oil-free, but not "oily" either: Cathy Howse's Ultra Black Hair Lotion Creme Moisturizer. It's totally non-greasy and leaves my hair feeling silky soft and moisturized. I've had no problems with my face breaking out as a result of the product, though I do like to keep my hair off of my face in all circumstances.

I also use this and love it. It does have oil but it is not greasy.
 
I agree with whoever pointed out the pillow case thing. I change my pillowcase every 3 days. Pillowcase that have oil from your hair will definitely make you break out more.
 
Let me add that the type of oil in the moisturizer might make a difference. For example, my face breaks out with products like Moisture Max or Luster's because petroleum and mineral oil clogs my pores. I can, however, slather my hair with coconut oil or shea butter and never have a problem with breakouts. So, maybe you just need to change brands. Just a thought!
 
Good point Portae. I'll be trying a variety of methods over the next several weeks to see what's going to work best for me.

Fantasia IC Leave In Moisturizer
Hair and Scalp Treatment
Extra Dry Formula w/Aloe

I use this as a daily moisturizer. I have problems with acne and this is the only thing that won't break me out. Its oil free.
 
DigitaRain I didn't know that this was oil free. Thanks for the tip! Is it creamy or is it liquidy?

Its a clear liquid. Check it out it, comes in large bottle and a small 2 oz bottle. If you just want to try it out, get the small bottle.
 
i was having the same problem..and yes it was the oil on my pillow that was making my face break out..and now i do the t-shirt thing with the pillows...but then the cotton started making me break out to..so instead of a t-shirt i just use a silk slip..and wash it every 2 days...problem solved
