My routine that's working for now :) Is lipgloss a trigger??

I saw a doctor one year ago who finally diagnosed my PD which I thought was acne for many years! My triggers are sun / sunscreen / sweat - basically would have a huge breakout after a beach day due to any of these factors. Face makeup was also a huge trigger.

I switched to a simple routine - just skinfix cleanser and illiyoon ceramide cream, no sunscreen basically, or I just apply on my forehead as needed. Absolutely no face makeup but still using eye makeup occasionally and lip gloss. I would still get breakouts but not as bad.

RECENTLY, I swapped out my toothpaste for SLS free, and I also stopped using lip products (just using Aquafor now, no lipsticks or gloss) and the constant redness has gone down... Too early to say, but I actually think stopping lip products has been a huge help. Curious to know what common ingredients in lip products could be triggers?
