A member asked:

Is dimethicone bad in face lotions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Safe/drawbacks: Generally safe, but may form an impermissible barrier, trapping bacteria and natural oils leading to skin irration and an acne form eruption in some cases. Prolonged daily use may cause irrational. Be sure skin is cleaned nightly and a hydrating cream applied. Discontinue if excessive redness and irration occurs.
