Ireland, we don't get a lot of American products because of banned ingredients

Yeah we're a lot more protected with food and products over here compared to ye, which I'm very greatful for but it can be frustrating when people are talking about lovely products they have that would cost a bomb to be brought here lol, the grass is always greener I guess.

Nope stay where you at. ANY part of the You.S is bad. You know about the GMO's and corn in cows and our meat? Well its in Canada too. Look up on this stuff please so you can get a better understanding IF you don't know.

I know about American food, I love watching documentaries and the food, banking, government, and war crimes the US does. I didn't know it was in Canadian food too though.

Thank you Yaira, I think I actually might, I've been eyeing jojoba oil for a while but I originally planned on mixing it with moisturiser, I might just use it on it's own now :)

Cetearyl Alcohol is fine, it's an emollient alcohol.
You generally want to avoid Solvent alcohols.. such as

• Alcohol Denat
• Denatured Alcohol
• SD Alcohol
• Isopropyl Alcohol
• Alcohol
• Ethyl Alcohol
• Methanol Alcohol
• Benzyl Alcohol
• Polyvinyl Alcohol
• Isopropyl Alcohol

The CeraVe cream is perfectly fine, they have great fatty acids and hyaluronic acid which is 1000 xs its weight in water. But, for acne prone skin I would recommend their lotion since creams are too heavy and emollient for comedogenic prone skin or using a limited amount for those dire times of dryness.

When it comes to moisturizers I really just dig natural non-volatile oils.
Here are some non-comedogenic and mildly comedogenic oils... you may be able to find some near you. Do take in mind that not all oils have a moisturizing factor.

Non-comedogenic
Argan Oil
Rosehip Oil
Jojoba Oil
Hemp Oil
Squalane Oil
Shea Butter

Mildly
Sunflower Oil
Avocado Oil
Corn Oil
Castor Oil

Ok, I'm definitely buying Jojoba oil when I can, I was worried it wouldn't be alright as a stand alone product and I really don't have any money to waste right now but if it can be used as a moisturiser by itself and its non-comedogenic I'll spend the money on it.
Thanks everyone. Sorry I was so neurotic, my skin is just such a nightmare I have to be really careful
