What does non-comedogenic mean?

If a product is non-comedogenic, it is formulated to not clog or block pores, therefore it is less likely to cause blemishes and breakouts.

You’ve probably seen this word on our packaging and across our website. It’s because this quality in a skincare product is particularly important for teen skin.

It’s especially important in combination, oily or blemish-prone skin types, as these already experience the excess oil that can cause or lead to breakouts.
