If you have acne or rosacea, you will always need to review ingredients before buying/applying to your skin even if it says “Won’t Clog Pores” or “Non-Comedogenic” on the bottle.

 WARNINGS:

Natural oils can be some of the worst offenders, like cocoa butter and coconut oil which are found in many “organic” skin-care lines.

Other oils such as jojoba, olive and lanolin are mildly comedogenic and can be a problem if formulated with other comedogenic ingredients.

Some prescription products like the cream form of Retin-A(aka tretinoin) have pore cloggers. Many over-the-counter acne medications also have pore clogging ingredients.

“Oil-free” products can be comedogenic.
