[PSA] Attention all SCA members with extremely clog prone skin. What you think is a fatty alcohol sensitivity may just be a bad formulation. Cetearyl + Cetearth alcohol together can cause breakouts, but apart you may be fine.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
For the past 6 months finding a moisturizer has been the hardest skincare related task I have ever done mainly because I was constantly trying to avoid fatty alcohols which is the main ingredient in like every moisturizer on the market. And the ones without never moisturized enoughThings I tried:(Of course the culprits that started it all) Cerave Moisturizing Cream Cerave PMNeutrogena Hydro Boost extra dry gel cream (Not moisturizing enough)Aloe Vera Gel (not moisturizing enough developed an allergy to)Oils (these didn’t break me out but I felt they never sink in and just sat on my skin and wiped off on my pill ow the next morning and my skin never felt moisturized enough)Garnier Moisture Bomb (contains fragrance and alcohol broke me out)Then one day I came along and discovered Vanicream when it was on clearance for $2 didn’t even bother to look at the ingredients so I thought whatever if it breaks me out at least it wasn’t that much money lost but it didn’t my skin has not developed a single cc or Whitehead since I’ve started this product it sinks into my skin perfectly never leaves me oily and overall just makes my skin look great and then I read the ingredients and realized that the Cetearyl and Cetearth alcohol were separate on the cosdna profile (usually if there together it’s a 4 rating yikes) and it dawned on me that maybe if they are together that’s when it causes breakouts (aka every cerave moisturizer)Moral of the story make sure u pay attention to the order of the ingredients and which ones are next to each other cuz it can definitely make a difference
