The following links are to websites that list comedogenic ingredients. You can research the ingredients in your product(s) and determine if any might be problematic. Remember that the further down on the list of ingredients, the less percentage of that ingredient is in the product. So a comedogenic ingredient that is in the last half of an ingredient list may or may not cause you problems.

If you're looking for a basic, affordable moisturizer, get glycerin, and mix it with (distilled) water yourself. Experiment with the ratio to find what works best for you, I'd start with 25-30% glycerin, the rest water. Dilute more if it's too thick/sticky, and make small batches (a little bit goes a long way), so you'll have a fresh moisturizer all the time. If you can afford it, hyaluronic acid is another great option. If you want more than just a basic moisturizer, check out the EWG website for moisturizers without irritating ingredients: http://www.ewg.org/s...zer;;treatment/, or have a look at the reviews section here: http://www.acne.org/...and=&item_name=
