Are your products Clogging your pores?

If you're acne prone, your skincare products could be part of the problem! Always review the ingredient list before using anything on your skin.. even if it claims to be non-comedogenic or pore-safe.

Use the tool below to identify potential pore-clogging ingredients. If any are highlighted in red, it’s worth reconsidering that product. Keep in mind, this isn’t a complete list of all pore-clogging ingredients, and seeing one flagged doesn’t guarantee it will cause breakouts. Skincare is nuanced, but this is a great starting point!
