How long does it take for a new product to cause a breakout?

Okay, so I started using a new moisturizer 3 weeks ago. I just looked at the ingredients list and I noticed that it has dimethicone, which some people say causes breakouts. However, I haven't noticed any worse breakouts since using it. Do you think that since 3 weeks have gone by with no problems I'm okay to keep using this product, or can it take longer than that to cause a breakout?

I THINK your ok.
I've found that you will usually start seeing new breakouts after a few weeks of using a new product if your skin reacts badly to it. If you don't break out in those few weeks then you should be good to go.

Thanks, that makes me feel better. Trying new products is so stressful!
