Need a Comedogenic Checker? Here’s the Tool That Pros Trust

The Summary

If you want to know whether a product contains pore-clogging ingredients, you need a comedogenic checker. These tools flag ingredients based on how likely they are to cause acne or clog pores — but not all checkers are created equal. ChekIt is a professional-grade comedogenic checker designed for estheticians and acne-prone users. Just paste in a full ingredient list, and it flags comedogenic ingredients, explains the risks, and gives clear, fast answers.

What Is a Comedogenic Checker?

A comedogenic checker is a tool that scans a skincare or cosmetic ingredient list and identifies which ingredients are likely to clog pores.

Most checkers use the comedogenicity scale, which rates ingredients from:

  • 0 – non-comedogenic (very safe)
  • 1–2 – low risk
  • 3–5 – moderate to high risk of pore-clogging

These ingredients are especially risky for people with acne-prone, oily, or sensitive skin.

❌ Why You Shouldn’t Trust Marketing Labels Alone

A product can say “non-comedogenic” on the front…
…but still contain ingredients like:

  • Isopropyl Myristate (rating: 5)
  • Coconut Oil (rating: 4)
  • Wheat Germ Oil (rating: 5)
  • Algae Extract (commonly comedogenic)

You can’t know if a product is truly safe unless you check the ingredient list itself — and that’s exactly what a comedogenic checker is for.
