Yeah, lotion is a pain. I use Cetaphil, but it makes me really shiny and greasy throughout the course of the day, even when patting my face down with a tissue or wiping the shine off with a paper towel. But it never causes me to breakout.

But if I don't use lotion, my face gets so painfully dry after washing that I have difficulty opening my mouth. So frustrating. I'm thinking about trying to get a bottle of glycerin, mixing it with some water and applying that to my face.

CeraVe is the best thing I've ever used on my face. I'm clear.

I use highly refined emu oil. It does a very nice job of moisutrizing.

2012, I use CeraVe lotion when my skin is very dry.

Here are the ingredients:

purified water

glycerin

caprylic/capric triglyceride

behentrimonium methosulfate & cetearyl alcohol

ceteareth-20 & cetearyl alcohol

ceramide 1

ceramide 3

ceramide 6

hyaluronic acid

cholesterol

dimethicone

polysobate 20

polyglyceryl-3

diisostearate (two i's--not a typo)

potassium phosphate

dipotassium phosphate

sodium lauroyl lactylate

cetyl alcohol

disodium EDTA

phytosphongosine

methylparaben

propylpataben

carbomer

xanthan gum

I hope I spelled everything right

The alcohol is on the list...

Dee, CeraVe sounds good, however, I live in Canada, and it does not look like it is available in Canada, I may have to see if i can buy it on the internet. Also i could not find ingredients list on their website. Do you use the lotion or the cream? What are the ingredients? what kind of skin do you have and do you find the lotion or cream easily obsorbable and not oily? how is it for sensitive skin (under retinoid treatment).

So i assume the alcohols in CeraVe are not breakng you out, how long have you been using it? do you use it everyday? do you have blackheads? improved or the same since using CeraVe?

 

did you do a TCA cross peel for scars? or just the regular TCA peel for redmarks? Downtime? Peeling? good luck with your recovery!

 

i need to do a TCA at some point, too. But still dealing with active acne now. I think the differin and AHA, BHA, Baking soda, ACV may been too intense for for me for the last month or so, now My skin is so tight and dry (peeling)! Thus need a supper moisturizer, but can't find a comedogenic-free one!

 

I have very sensitive skin... so I wonder if TCA is OK for me.

 

What is SLS?

Yes, Dee. It's evident now that i have overexfoliated my skin... I am definitely slowing it down to let my skin heal. But it's strange I was using acid/differin for a whole month ( occational ACV and Baking soda) and did not have a problem (except some dryness caused by differin). Then one day i wake up, the skin around my eyes are supper dry and a bit peeling, then the next day, my lower chin /cheek area on the right ( where i applied most Differin my daily basis, because it's my problem area) starts to itch and became very irritated... my whole face was also becoming more irritated..

I wonder if the differin by thinning the skin makes the skin more sensitive + it's pollen season (hay fever season) and my differin affected skin area is reacting to something..

i will post it in Differin thread to see if anyone else experience this.

Back to the non-comedogenicity, one question for all the noncomedogenic gurus:

many sources report Cetearyl Alcohol + Ceteareth 20 as highly Comedogenic.

Does anyone know then if Ceteareth without Cetearyl Alcohol or Vice Versa in a product is also Comedogenic?

2012 -

I just came upon your post while I was checking comedogenic ingredients. Did you also post on skinActives? I read a somewhat similar post there too - but the thread had been locked so no further posts could be left.

Anyway, I don't know for sure, but I would think Sea Kelp Bio-Ferment would be considered an algae and therefore possibly comedogenic. I've read some other information on comedogenic ingredients and one website said that, even if it is comedogenic, it doesn't necessarily mean it will clog your pores, as everyone has different skin (well, it said something to that effect) So, if you've used products with algae in the past and everything was fine, it should be fine to use the Sea Kelp. However, if algae products have bothered your skin in the past, I (personally) wouldn't use this, as their own website describes it as being an algae... "Macrocystis pyrifera is a sea macroalgae rich in caragenaan, algin, minerals and many active chemicals. Fermentation makes the cell contents of this algae readily available to your skin, moisturizing it and providing the nutrients required to synthesize new components. This is the key ingredient (the Miracle Brotha) in CrAme de la Mer, it is fermented by the same microorganisms that convert milk into yoghurt." (quoted from their website)

I hope I've helped somewhat! =)

Hello

I live in a cold weather (london) and my skin gets very dry. i also have breakouts in winter months (also in summer but worsens in winter). I need to moisturize but my skin is very acne prone and sensitive and I am desperate on what to do!!!!!!

I found Jason aloe ver oil these are the ingredients, please tell me your thoughts:

CARTHAMNUS TINCTORIUS (SAFFLOWER) OIL

CARTHAMUS TINCTORIUS (SAFFLOWER) SEED OIL*

(ORGANIC)

ALOE BARBADENSIS (ALOE VERA) LEAF GEL

HELIANTHUS ANNUUS (SUNFLOWER) OIL

HELIANTHUS ANNUUS (SUNFLOWER) SEED OIL*

(ORGANIC)

Hello! this is my first time posting on this forum but I couldn't help but answer this thread. I know how hard it is to find non-comedogenic products, and I also strive to find products that are rated a 0 on the toxicity scale according to the EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetic Database.

I have found an amazing solution I couldn't help but share. I've had acne for 7 years, and this is the ONLY product that doesn't break me out, moistruizes, and actually WORKS without toxins and other crap in it.

It's called La-Roche de Posay's Toleriane FLUIDE moisturizer. It comes in a pump bottle and it's very important that you get this one! There are other creams by the Toleriane line. There's a RICHE formula, which is thicker, and another one that doesn't really have another name, it just says Toleriane, I used this one for years too until I found that this one has far less toxins (the other one has PEG 100 and a few other chemicals)

You can check it out here for yourself: http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/product/279728/La_Roche-Posay_Toleriane_Facial_Fluide/

I can vouch for this product tenfold. Two pumps do my whole face, and it feels really cooling/soothing on. No fragrance. It absorbs fairly quickly and it doesn't leave you greasy It's oil free, paraben free, non-comedogenic, and excellent for intolerant skin (like mine). Perfect for acne-prone skin. Since using this my skin went from combination to normal! (minus the acne) I'm no longer oily in areas, sometimes I get a little dry from overwashing but that's about it! Most of the time it feels comfortable (again, minus the acne that is obviously painful as you know).

Anyways, hope this helps!!

Thanks for this - I am using La Roche Posay Hydreane light which seems to be okay for me - but I think the one you mentioned could be ever better.

Thanks - I've tried it now and it's very good, two pumps does the job as you said. I also use the Thermal Spring Water in the can and spray it over my face - that helps with redness and calms my skin.

I feel your pain, I have actually tried glycerin and water... it doesn't work very well and it made me feel greasy/oily/sticky... just not my cup of tea. Also, hard to apply beacause it's so liquid-y. Try the La-Roche de Posay Toleriane Fluide moisturizer

Glad to hear it helps! I also use Thermal Spring Water, but I actually don't like the one La Roche has, I very much prefer Avene's water. It's AMAZING. Somehow, it's much more soothing than the one from LRP. Give this a try, I assure you you'll feel the difference. It's a lot lighter and it works much better. I've used both. Plus, you can get it in a really big bottle lol.

Hope this helps!

Thanks - I will give Avene's water a try next time I order. The LRP one isn't bad though - I really like it, but I will try Avene's one, I'll take your word for it that it's better. You've been helpful - thanks again

Well I'm glad u like the cream and the thermal water by LRP It's a personal preference that I like the Avene water better, but if you're happy with LRP don't let me change your mind. Whatever works for you No harm in trying both though!

Good luck!

Glad I could help no problem at all

I've suffered with horrible hormonal acne for a while--this is the only thing that doesn't cause breakouts or irritate that I've found. http://www.triderma....pair-cream.html

It's not super-moisturizing if you suffer with dry skin but for my oily/combo skin, I can wear it under make up, which is what I need.

I am looking for a stable non-comedogenic SPF (no powders unless it's insured their is no mica or bismuth oxychloride).

Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Extract, Arnica Montana (Montana Flower) Extract, Methylsulfonyl Methane (MSM), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Cyclomethicone, Alkyl Benzoate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Allantoin (Comfrey Root), Retinyl Acetate (Vitamin A), Glyceryl Stearate, Triethanolamine, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium EDTA

I also use LRP Toleeiane Fluide and it's the only moisturizer that doesn't break me out. It's spendy though.

is vaseline comedogenic?
