[Routine Help] Do you think Silicons or Alcohols are causing my breakouts? Could it be both?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I thought for the longest time that silicons were the culprit of me breaking out. They weren't in my skincare but they were in my makeup. I couldn't possibly drop everything and go buy a new foundation(expensive and hard to find). I decided I would just have to live with my clogged pores, blackheads, and whiteheads for now. I used Cereve in the tub and woke up with HUGE clogged pores in my t-zone and whiteheads around that area. I stopped using that lotion immediately but I was still having moderate breakouts. Also, during that time, I was using makeup particularly heavy with dimethicone. I searched on here and figured out that it could be the alcohols. I was using a facewash and another lotion with it. I immediately went out and bought Aveeno calming facewash and Nivea creme. I LOVE this face wash by the way! It works very well! Since I started using those two items (and only those items)(it has been about 5 days), my skin has been noticeably softer and I haven't had too many new pimples. Here is the problem. I'm still having problems with the clogged pores. They are more visible at the end of the day. Also, I suspect that the Nivea creme is making me greasy during the day. I am searching for a lighter moisturizer right now. Do you think the clogged pores are from the dimethicone(my makup still has it) or am I not waiting long enough for my skin to fix itself after I started using skincare without alcohols? I heard that Dimethicone is okay as long is it's your last step on your face. It's technically not. I use a bb cream, then face powder, then blush,etc. What is your opinion on this? Thanks!
