Non-Comedogenic
What does it mean?
Non-comedogenic means a product is formulated to avoid clogging pores. Since “comedo” refers to a blocked pore, non-comedogenic products are ideal for oily or acne-prone skin, as they help reduce the risk of breakouts.
How does it work?
Non-comedogenic products are made without ingredients known to clog pores, like heavy oils or waxes. Instead, they use lighter options such as squalane or jojoba oil, which hydrate without causing breakouts. These formulas are popular in moisturisers, sunscreens, and makeup, especially for those with acne-prone or oily skin.
Although “non-comedogenic” isn’t a tightly regulated term, many trusted brands test their products to support the claim. Still, everyone’s skin reacts differently, so even these products might not suit all users.
Choosing non-comedogenic skincare can help reduce acne while keeping the skin balanced. Always patch test to see how your skin responds.
