Gentle, supportive rich moisturiser
This is a great moisturiser for dry/dehydrated sensitive skin. Soothing, rich
CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion 24 ingredients
Comedogenic. This product contains cetearyl alcohol and polyglyeryl-3 diisostearate, both of which are comedogenic ingredients. When I used this product it gave me the worst breakout I've ever had. Definitely not for oily and/or clog-prone skin.
Did not give my combo skin a break out however it just doesn’t improve skin that much.
