The internet came for Alix Earle's Reale Actives Dew More Moisturizer hard — specifically because it contains shea butter. And as a dermatologist, I need to address this directly.⁠ ⁠ Yes, shea butter shows up on some comedogenic calculators online. But here's what those calculators don't tell you: comedogenicity is about concentration and the full formulation — not the presence of a single ingredient in isolation.⁠ ⁠ Dr. Kiran Mian (the board-certified dermatologist behind this line) is not going to formulate an acne moisturizer that causes acne. The shea butter here is at a low concentration, balanced with lighter emollients, and designed for proper absorption. It was clinically tested and confirmed non-comedogenic.⁠ ⁠ This is a perfect example of ingredient shaming going wrong. One ingredient on a list does not tell you how a product performs on skin.⁠ ⁠ Stop letting internet calculators replace actual dermatology. 🩺⁠ ⁠ #RealeActives #AlixEarle #SheaButter
