We don't know what causes acne at all, so we can't say for sure that dimethicone does. This ingredient is a type of silicone, and silicones are used in many commercial moisturizers that don't make acne worse. So I don't think you should avoid it. Also it's not on the list of comedogenic ingredients.
These are the ingredients in the moistruizer i want to try:
Water/Aqua/Eau, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Sorbitan Stearate, Methyl Gluceth-20, Polysorbate 60, Dimethicone, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Aminomethyl Propanol, Carbomer, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Potassium Sorbate
This is Skinmedica Ultra Sheer, correct?? Tocopherol and Cetearyl Alcohol are both 2 of 5 for acne and irritation. They are very common ingredients. Also, Sorbitan Stearate and Carbomer can be irritants to some (only rates a 1)...everyone is different. So is possible these won't be your personal offenders. It always a roll of the dice, but considering that all the iffy ingredients her rate pretty low on the scale, I'd say it's worth a try. If you react, keep track and see if you notice a pattern with products containing the same ingredients.
