Are you searching to find the perfect skincare products for your unique skin type?

Finding the gentlest and most effective skincare products can be difficult enough as is, let alone for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin. To help avoid getting even more clogged pores, double check your current cosmetic products and their ingredients to see if you may need to upgrade to non-comedogenic alternatives.

Also look at the comedogenic ratings for the first several ingredients listed, which rates ingredients on a scale from 0 to 5, where 0 is completely non-comedogenic, and 5 is highly comedogenic. 

If you see that many of the ingredients in a particular product are rated at a 5 or 4 on this scale, you may want to avoid it. On the other hand, having a few 1, 2 or even 3-rated ingredients included in a product may be just fine to use. This, of course, also depends on how sensitive or acne-prone your skin already is. 

Look for moisturizing and skin-soothing ingredients like jojoba oil, squalane and allantoin.

I typically put my sensitive and acne-prone patients on a regimen of skinbetter science products because they are all non-comedogenic, fragrance-free and dermatologist-recommended, so taking a look at these products may be a good place to start if you’re planning to overhaul your skincare routine to avoid clogged pores. 

And I love the moisturizing ingredients that can help to rebalance your skin’s natural oil content for a glowing and healthier look and feel to your complexion.
