I just started accutane Saturday and I started using cetaphil lotion but it just made my skin greasy and just sat on top of my skin. my skin isn't dry yet but I want a moisturizer that I can use to help that and make my skin not look greasy

The best moisturiser I've used till today is the good things matifier moisturiser. It doesnt make my oily skin oiler, it doesnt have mineral oil and other crap in it so it doesnt cause breakouts and still does a great job at moisturising. I think its only in the UK though I'm not sure where you're from :/, hopefully you can find it

I think mineral oil is noncomedogenic, so it doesn't clog pores.

mineral oil is comodogenic lol google it.

I don't see mineral oil listed there. Mineral, jojoba, and macadamia-nut oil are non-comedogenic.

http://www.drfranklipman.com/3-key-reasons-to-avoid-mineral-oil/ - check point number 2.
also if an ingredient wasnt potentially harmful to the skin why would a product specifically point out that it doesn't include that ingredient?
i think whether a mineral oil can be comodogenic has to do with a number of factors but some can be pore clogging.

FYI:

Comedogenicity and irritancy of commonly used ingredients in skin care products. J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem. 40, 321-333 (Nov/Dec 1989):

Mineral oil comedogenicity 0-2 (Grading is from 0 to 5)

So, results are inconclusive.

Let's keep fighting acne together!

Best!
