What does 'non-comedogenic' actually mean?

I have some bumps under the skin that won't go away despite me using ingredients such as glycolic acid etc. It is possible that their cause is the coconut oil and similar products when I was younger.

Weird name for a pimple

I used to focus on NC ingredients but nowadays my skin is so dry, I don't seem have an issue with clogged pores.

Very interesting

Interesting article, thank you.

Good article.

It sounds like a new word for products already on the market

I stopped putting coconut oil on my face for this reason but okay to go on the rest of my body.

I try and avoid products that clog my pores, I find I mostly have to be careful with the sunscreen I use

Sunscreens often clog my pores and cause pimples, so good to find one that doesn't irritate

Disagree about the Coconut Oil... I use it all the time and never have this problem...

A very informative read.

I don't have sensitive skin so have used things like coconut oil, shea butter and other heavier skincare products on my face without any side effects. With makeup though, I am a bit more careful as I find ingredients in makeup seems to be a lot harsher (or maybe it's the combination of ingredients together), so I do keep an eye out for non-comedogenic makeup lines.

I don't particularly look for non comedogenic products, but I exfoliate regularly

Interesting read

I didn't look into the science but there is a comedogenic rating scale 0-5 and coconut sits at around 4. Oils like sunflower, hemp and argan (and no doubt many more) are not comedogenic at all (sweet almonda and jojoba are 2)

I always try and find it on the label....nobody needs blocked pores!

Very helpful and interesting article. I use the LaRoche Posay and Bioderma. They are some of my favourite products.

This is interesting, I didnt know coconut oil cause cause it.

It's really hard to remember these words.

Great article BH thanks for continually keeping us informed Xx

My skin isn't sensitive, but I'm very blackhead & blemish-prone. Many products are triggers, so I avoid those. This article is useful, thanks!
