[Routine Help] Cut out moisturizer as an experiment. Skin has cleared up. Any help appreciated.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I have dry/sensitive skin. I've gone through so many moisturizers in the past year, trying to find one that works. My skin breaks out in tiny red bumps, mostly on my cheeks, and some on my forehead. I thought it might be fungal acne, treated it as such for a while, no luck. I've tried everything from fungal acne treatments, to switching cleansers and moisturizers. I finally found a cleanser that works, but my skin was still irritated by something. I finally had the idea to completely cut out moisturizer for a bit, just as an experiment. And just like I thought, my skin is clearing up. It's a little dry and flaky, but the red spots are going away. My skin hasn't been this clear in a long time. I still feel like it needs a moisturizer though, as it's tight and a little flaky, and I'm concerned about the long term effects of not moisturizing. I guess I'm looking for moisturizer recs. My cleanser is LaRoch Posay hydrating. I seem to have issues with fatty alcohols like many on here, but I've tried fatty alcohol-free moisturizers as well with no luck. Here are the moisturizers I've tried in the past year or year and half:* Cetaphil hydrating lotion* Neutrogena hydro boost gel cream* Clinique dramatically different moisturizing gel* Cerave in the tub* Cerave PM* Cerave ultra light with SPF* Sebamed clear face gel w/squalene dropsAny recommendations are much appreciated!
