Non-comedogenic moisturizers
Skip moisturizer and oily skin makes more oil. Eight formulas whose ingredient lists clear our pore-clogging list.
Guides
Twelve guides. The product ones were put together by reading ingredient lists against our pore-clogging list; nothing on them was tested by us and no brand paid to be included. The routine ones cover the order things go on and where the comedogenic traps are at each step.
Product guides
Non-comedogenic sunscreens
Sunscreen is the step acne-prone skin skips most, usually because the last one caused a breakout.
Non-comedogenic foundations
Full coverage over an active breakout, without the esters that keep it going.
Non-comedogenic concealers
Covering a spot so you stop picking at it is worth doing. Here is what to cover it with.
Non-comedogenic face washes and cleansers
Rinse-off products get less contact time, which does not make them free of pore-cloggers.
Non-comedogenic shampoos
Breakouts along the hairline, the back and the shoulders usually come from what runs down them in the shower.
Non-comedogenic primers
The layer between your skin and your makeup, and the one most likely to be silicone-heavy.
Non-comedogenic oils
Which facial oils sit at the bottom of the comedogenic scale and which sit at the top.
Routine guides
Morning skincare routine
What a morning routine is actually for, in the order things go on.
Nighttime skincare routine
The evening version, from taking the day off to the last occlusive step.
Skincare routine for oily skin
Built for skin that runs oily and congests, rather than for skin in a photograph.
Skincare routine for dry skin
Dry skin still clogs. A routine that puts moisture back without the heavy occlusives.
