Pore Clogging Ingredient Checker

What are Comedogenic Ingredients?

Comedogenic ingredients are those found in beauty and skincare products that can block pores and trigger acne. When these ingredients combine with the skin’s natural oils, they can trap dead skin cells and bacteria, leading to inflammation and breakouts.

How to Avoid Pore Clogging Ingredients

If you have acne-prone skin, it’s essential to check the ingredient list of anything you apply to your skin or hair for pore-clogging components. Even if a product claims to be “non-comedogenic,” “oil-free,” or “won’t clog pores,” that doesn’t guarantee it’s safe for your skin. There’s no official regulation on these terms, so brands can make these claims even if their products contain pore-clogging ingredients. Always review the product’s ingredient list before applying it to your face or hair.

We’ve simplified the process of checking for pore-clogging ingredients in your skincare and makeup products. To do this, simply search the full name of your product online and include the word “ingredients” at the end.
