clogged pores

I use products that contain "CETEARYL ALCOHOL" ingredient, found twice in both the cleanser and moisturizer (Comedogenicity: Medium), along with "Ethylhexyl Palmitate" (Comedogenicity: High), and Beeswax in the moisturizer (effect on clogging uncertain). I think my clogged pores/skin texture increased.

I have been using retinol for 3 weeks only ( once a week ) (just started retinol along with a gentle & simple routine).

do you think I should wait to see if my skin texture will clear up before i change the products which have the pore clogging ingrediant "CETEARYL ALCOHOL"?


-I will anyways still choose from Avene because my skin only tolerates this brand-

If so, I will get the
Cleanser: Eau Thermale Avene - Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover
Barrier Support & moisturizer : Avene cicalfate serum + Avene Tolerance Hydra10 Moisturizer Fluid

Your suggestions, please!
