Many women of all ages and skin types, acne prone or not, can fall victim to pore clogging ingredients found in numerous skin care and cosmetic products. Marketing labels such as “non-comedogenic,” “organic,” “water-based,” “oil-free,” “natural,” “vegan,” and “eco-friendly,” presents us with a false hope that products such as these are good for the skin. In fact, most familiar and well trusted products being produced by leading makeup companies from all over the world today unfortunately contain an array of pore clogging ingredients. Although this is unlikely to be intentional, it still remains to be a major contributing factor in the cause of acne for millions of women today.
Here are a few well known makeup products that contain pore clogging ingredients proven to make acne worse:
