Pore Clogging Ingredient Tracker

Use this tool to check your product ingredients to be sure they are acne safe

Atlanta Acne Specialists skincare line has been carefully curated to be beneficial for acne prone skin and will never include any of these acne inducing ingredients. We created this pore clogging ingredient checker to make it easier for you to check your makeup, hair care and body care products to be sure they are truly acne safe. Even 1 pore clogging ingredient can wreak havoc on acne prone skin making all the work and expense of using our products unsuccessful.

We recommend checking your makeup, haircare & body products each time you purchase because formulas can change without your knowledge.

Disclaimer: Cetearyl Alcohol is not a pore clogging ingredient on its own. When it's paired with Ceteareth 20 in the same formula, it is, as whey have a chemical reaction that makes them comedogenic together.

Talc is not truly comedogenic, but has a reaction with sebum that hardens it which clogs the pores.

If you would like more knowledge and support in clearing your acne please fill out our form HERE and we'll be in touch within 1-2 business days.
