Pore Clogging Ingredients
Acne is triggered by many ingredients, foods and other lifestyle choices. In order to get clear skin and keep it that way, you must use products that are “acne-safe.” This includes anything you put on your face like makeup, and extends to hair care products as well.
Always check the ingredients before using a product, even if the label says “Won’t Clog Pores” or “Non-Comedogenic.” You cannot rely on the label - you must check it for yourself.
The following ingredients are known to contribute to or exacerbate acne for people who are acne-prone. Acne Cosmetica (cosmetic-induced acne) is something you can avoid.
For peace of mind, use this form. Find the skin care or makeup product online, cut the ingredients and paste into the box below. Press “Check” to get the results.
