[Product Question] La Roche Posay Toleriane moisturiser -- which ingredient(s) make it comedogenic?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hello everyone,I've been trying to up my moisturiser game, without much luck. My skin is oily/acne-prone, but tends to have dry/irritated patches from BHA and adapalene use (which do, however, keep my acne in check, for the most part). So far, I have been using the LRP Toleriane Fluid, but it's not enough.My dermatologist suggested I try the LRP Toleriane moisturiser, but while it really helped with my dry/irritated patches (they basically disappeared within 2 days), it gave me plentiful comedones (including in places where I have never had any, e.g. on my temples) within one week of using it, and a horrible breakout on my chin/the sides of my mouth and on my cheeks (where, again, I haven't had a breakout in probably 10 years, since before taking Roaccutane).I discontinued use after 7 days, and over the past 10 days the breakout has cleared up, and half of the comedones I would say have disappeared. So I'm positive that it was the Toleriane moisturiser that caused this.I've been trying to find the culprit among the ingredients, but none of them seem to be comedogenic, at least in theory. I was wondering if any of you might have an inkling as to which one(s) the culprit(s) may be, so I know what to avoid moving forward.I'm including the ingredients for both moisturisers as well as my routine.Thank you!Toleriane moisturiser (gave me a horrible breakout): AQUA / WATER CYCLOPENTASILOXANE ISOCETYL STEARATE SQUALANE GLYCERIN ISONONYL ISONONANOATE PENTYLENE GLYCOL ALUMINUM STARCH OCTENYLSUCCINATE CETYL ALCOHOL PEG-100 STEARATE GLYCERYL STEARATE DIMETHICONOL ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER SODIUM HYDROXIDEToleriane Fluid (causes me no issues, but isn't moisturising enough): AQUA / WATER SQUALANE GLYCERIN DIPROPYLENE GLYCOL CARBOMER SODIUM HYDROXIDE ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN CAPRYLYL GLYCOLRoutine: AM: Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser; The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%; LRP Anthelios SPF 50 Fluid; Laura Mercier Tinted MoisturiserPM: Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser; On alternating nights: Differin 0,1% Creme / Paula's Choice BHA Liquid; LRP Toleriane Fluid
