Pore-Clogging Ingredients

Below is a list of ingredients that can be found in skincare products, makeup, and hair products that can clog your pores and may exacerbate acne. Always check the ingredients of any non-Face Reality products you use on your skin or hair, even if it says “Won’t Clog Pores” or “Non-Comedogenic” on the bottle. Natural oils can be some of the worst o enders (like cocoa butter and coconut oil) and 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, as well as many over-the-counter acne medications also contain pore clogging ingredients. “Oil-free” products can be formulated with pore-clogging ingredients.

Be Aware
  • 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 have pore-clogging ingredients. Many over-the-counter acne medications contain them as well.
  • “Oil-free” products can be comedogenic.

Additional Notes:​
 Skin needs can change based on hormone levels, climate, medications, etc.
  • Double Cleansing - Make sure to really clean your face each night to get the oils, products and makeup off (a common reason people break out is by not properly removing their makeup)
  • Wash pillowcases (use an acne safe detergent) and your makeup brushes (use an acne safe facial cleanser)
  • - Even if a product does not contain any of the ingredients on this page, it could still trigger a breakout if the acne is fungal based or you are sensitive to an ingredient
  • Silicones in skincare and makeup can be an issue for *some* but I find that once people start double cleansing and washing face well, it is no longer is an issue
  • Being “acne prone” can be a result of an underlying root cause at play triggering excess oil or bacteria; stubborn acne is also internally rooted
  • Also assess haircare and body care products as these are common culprits of neck, chest, back, hairline and cheek acne
  • And as always, if you love what you are using even if there are several pore cloggers, but it works for you, no need to change it !!!!
