Comedogenic Ingredients

This is a term used to describe ingredients, which have the potential to clog pores and cause acne. Always bear in mind that acne has been proven to be hereditary and can be influenced by stress, hormonal fluctuations, medications and most certainly by excessive exposure to sunlight.

Some women have the pre-conceived notion that foundations clog pores. This is simply not true. Unlike in the past, manufacturers today have a host of substitutes for any ingredient that is suspected to be comedogenic or has the potential to clog the pores.

  • Acetylated Lanolin

Also, I was wondering whether you do any private consulting? I'd be interested in hiring someone like yourself.
Dear Moderator, I hope you don't delete my post. I mean no harm, just being weird.
I'm not happy about my life, what can I do to be happy?
I live in a basement, with my parents. Typical stereotype - an overweight looser. Please don't remove my comments.

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
