Sorry to hear about that. Pimples are no fun! Each skincare product will affect each person's skin differently, and some products are more comedrogenic than others. If your moisturizer has cocoa butter in it, you might be getting breakouts because cocoa butter is known to be rather comedrogenic, meaning that it easily clogs pores. Shea butter on the other hand has a very low comedrogenic rating so I would check the ingredients of the moisturizer that you've been using to see exactly what might be clogging your pores. A lot of it is about trial and error and finding the product that your skin agrees with! 🙂
