There is a cream called Cremor Aquosus you can get in the pharmacy for like $1
I've been using it for a while now since I've been on accutane and it does it's job of moisturizing, but I was wondering if I'm missing out by not using a higher quality, more expensive moisturizer.

The ingredients are: Aqua, Mineral oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Paraffin, Glycerin, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Citrci Acid.

I've read an article that says that some of these ingredients can be bad and that they are unnatural chemicals that are for example leftover chemicals from manufacturing gasoline. But tbh I'm not sure how much to beleive that article since it's trying to sell a 100% all natural moisturizer cream for like 10x the price.
 
what ingredients are supposed to be bad?
most people see the word "alcohol" and turn red, but cetearyl is used a in a lot of mosturizers
 
thats an emollient cream for eczema like e45, there are much better moisturisers for the face, try cerave or simple if u can get them
