Could Cetaphil face moisturizer have made me break out?

Question

Hi I'm 14 and just started getting a lot more acne. Before when my skin used to be clear, I used Cetaphil face moisturizing lotion which worked really well for me (well I had no skin problems anyway). Then when it ran out I used Pond's dry skin cream for a while but when my skin started getting bad (mostly small red forehead pimples, and A LOT) I decided to try Cetaphil again since I know its a gentle brand. I got it 3 days ago and since then I have gotten tiny colorless bumps all over one of my cheeks and some at the bottom near my jawline of my other cheek. This is really weird because I thought Cetaphil was noncomedogenic. Does this mean anything?? I really really hate these tiny bumps they're not that noticeable except under natural or fluorescent light and looks TERRIBLE under makeup. I just want my face to me smooth and clear again! So if possible please answer as many of these questions as you can: 
Could a noncomedogenic moisturizer have made me break out in the tiny bumps? 
How can I prevent future acne? 
How can I get rid of the tiny bumps quickly? 
What is a good moisturizer for me to use if the Cetaphil isn't good for me anymore? (I have pretty normal skin but still get acne. So I guess it is kind of oily or combination as well) 
Thank you so much!

Noncomedogenic, simply means it wont block your pores it doesn't mean you wont have an allergic reaction to it.  You can become allergic as chemicals accumulate in your body.  As a rule if you wouldn't eat it you shouldn't put it on your skin.  I would go for an all natural routine.  Raw honey as a cleanser 50/50 solution of cider vinegar and water as a toner and coconut oil (unless you have nut allergies) as a moisturizer.
