So ive been using Olay Sensitive Moisture Therapy Lotion as my moisturizer for use with The Regimen, but ive recently been told that it has comedogenic ingredients, but it says on the box that it is non-comedogenic. I am on day 13 of The Regimen and still breaking out, so i feel it might be because of the moisturizer. I really like it, but if it is causing acne, no way i will keep using it. So im going to switch to an ACTUAL non-comedogenic moisturizer to see if there is a difference. So i need some recommendations that i can buy in stores like Target, CVS, Walgreens, etc. Thanks in advance!

P.S. Anybody know if that olay moisturizer actually has comedogenic ingredients? Which are they?

It isn't unusual to still be seeing breakouts after only two weeks. It may take up to three months of strict use before you see results.

For what it's worth, I have used that particular Olay lotion and didn't have any problems with it. Sometimes the proof is in the actual product rather than the individual ingredients.

For store brands, you can consider Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion, Neutrogena Oil-Free Combination Skin lotion, or Complex 15.

Hope that helps.

Thanks! What would you say about the Cerave Moisturizing lotion? Any personal experience with it?

I'm not a big fan of CeraVe. It feels good but after about a week of use I had clogged pores.
