[PSA] Don't be afraid of fatty alcohols just because CeraVe broke you out!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
A few years ago I tried the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser and PM Lotion, and woke up with the worst acne I'd ever had! I figured it was the fatty alcohols, and switched over to all gel moisturizers and avoided comedogenic ingredients like the plague. As consequence, my skin was suuuuper dehydrated and red. A few weeks ago, out of desperation, I picked up the Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Hydrating Cleanser (creamy formula) and Cetaphil Daily Hydrating Lotion. That combo with Stridex pads has given me the clearest skin yet, without making me red and dehydrated like before.Anyways, just remember CeraVe has a looooot of fatty alcohols and oils and other stuff going on. Breaking out from it doesn't mean you have to ditch all the good moisturizing stuff out there. There are plenty of decent products in the middle out thereThere are fatty alcohol sensitivities out there, but don't completely write them off without trying something a little lighter.(Side note: avoiding moisturizers with oils, ceteareth-20, and dimethicone seemed to do the trick for me).
