PORE CLOGGING INGREDIENT CHECKER

Are your products acne safe? Let’s check!

If you're prone to acne, your makeup or skincare products could be behind those frustrating breakouts. Even products that seem great might have hidden pore-clogging ingredients. Use our Pore Clogging Ingredient Checker to find out if any of your cosmetics are secretly causing issues. Simply enter the ingredients below and hit submit. Any pore-clogging ingredients will be highlighted in red. If you see any red-listed ingredients, it’s a good idea to stop using that product to keep your skin clear and healthy.
