Check for Pore Clogging Ingredients
How to check ingredients
To check if your product contains a pore-clogging ingredient, search for it online and find the “Ingredients” section. Copy and paste the ingredients into the box above, or enter them manually as single terms or separated by commas. You can also see the full list below.
If you have acne-prone skin, always check your skincare and hair products for comedogenic (pore-clogging) ingredients before using them! Labels like “non-comedogenic,” “oil-free,” or “won’t clog pores” can be misleading since no official regulations enforce these claims. Skincare companies can claim their products promote clear skin and still have pore-cloggers in their products. Always review the ingredient list before applying anything to your face or hair! ✨
