I'm really worried about whether the Nevlon lotion I'm using might be clogging my pores. I have acne-prone skin, and the last thing I want is to make it worse. Could you suggest some good non-comedogenic moisturizers that would be safe for my skin type?

Yes, Nevlon lotion may clog pores due to its comedogenic ingredients; for acne-prone skin, consider non-comedogenic moisturizers like Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel, or La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Fluid, which are labeled "non-comedogenic" or "oil-free" to minimize pore clogging and acne risk.
