BeTTER informed.
If you have acne-prone skin, you understand the importance of reading those labels! Keeping an eye out for comedogenic, or pore-clogging ingredients is tricky, because even if it says “noncomedogenic”, “oil free” or even “acne safe” on the bottle, that doesn’t mean it’s actually safe to use on your skin.
Clean skincare is an investment. There's nothing more disheartening than investing in new products that are supposed to help clear your skin and yet they only contribute to the problem.
Clear Complexion Skincare offers you peace of mind, as we always prioritize your skin's wellbeing. But we want you to be better informed no matter what brand you go with, so we've provided this tool below to check your skincare, makeup or hair products to know if they truly are acne safe.
​
So, What's in your skincare?
Check your products below.
First, do an internet search of the full name of your product and add ‘ingredients’ at the end of the search term. For example: “Drunk Elephant B-Goldi™ Bright Drops.” Copy the ingredients list and insert it in the field below. Hit ‘Check’ and get the results.
