59. Comedogenic Confusion: What You Need to Know About Pore-Clogging Ingredient Lists

Tuesday, February 4, 2025 • Duration 12:48

Have you ever gone down the rabbit hole of searching for a pore-clogging ingredient list, only to find a dozen different ones that don’t match up? So frustrating, right? You’re not alone—navigating conflicting advice about what’s “safe” for acne-prone skin can feel like an impossible task.

In this episode of Skin Theory, we’re tackling the chaos head-on. I’ll break down why these discrepancies exist, what you really need to know about comedogenicity, and—most importantly—how to confidently decode ingredient labels without losing your mind (or clogging your pores). Trust me, this is the clarity you’ve been waiting for!

Podcast Highlights

What does “comedogenic” actually mean? Breaking down the science of pore-clogging ingredients and the comedogenicity scale.
Why ingredient lists don’t agree: The lack of regulation and inconsistencies that make navigating skincare so frustrating.
Ingredient aliases and sneaky labeling tricks: How brands use alternative names to hide pore-clogging ingredients.
Practical tools and tips: How to find trusted resources and use tools like online ingredient checkers effectively.
