How it works
Comedogenic ingredients in skincare and makeup physically block follicles, providing a substrate for bacterial growth and triggering inflammatory acne lesions.
Look for products labelled non-comedogenic and oil-free. Patch test new products. Check ingredients against known comedogenic ingredient lists.
Consistent dermatological recommendation. Comedogenic products are a recognised exacerbating factor for acne. Switching formulations reduces breakouts in susceptible individuals.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
