Aveeno Daily Moisturizer Causing Me To Break Out More?

I've been trying to find the right moisturizer to use on my face but every one seems to still make me break out.

I recently bought some Aveeno Daily Moisurizering Lotion to use after I wash my face and it's causing more break outs.

It said non-comodogenic so I thought it wouldn't necessarily do that.

After I put the lotion on, it makes my face feel really greasy all throughout the day as well.

Could my problem be overwashing my face?

All I use is benzoyl peroxide 10% in the morning and at night and then put on the moisturizing lotion.

How often do you wash your face? As long as it's no more than twice a day you should be fine.

And non-comodegenic products can still break you out...probably other ingredients in there that just don't agree with your skin. You could try CeraVe or Cetaphil's moisturising lotion - I know many users on this forum use it. I personally tried CeraVe and it broke me out, but Cetaphil didn't so it just all depends on your skin.

Hope that helps :)

Thanks for the reply.

I just wash my face twice a day.

I'll have to try the CeraVe.

The Aveeno was recommended to me but it just makes my face really greasy and seems to break me out more.

Did you check if it was oil free? If it says on the ingredients that there's any kind of oil then that can be the cause especially if you already have oily skin or acne prone skin. I've also used that moisturizer and found that I was getting more acne, now I use neutrogena oil free moisturizer, it's not the best but you won't get breakouts from it!

I've never tried Aveeno face lotion, but I found that their face wash caused me to breakout in a rash. Aveeno face products contain soy - so if you may be breaking out due to a soy sensitivity.
