What Ingredients Cause Acne? Use These Tools to Find Out Fast

😩 Why Figuring Out Acne-Causing Ingredients Is So Hard

Here’s why you keep seeing “breakouts” from new products — even the ones that say non-comedogenic or clean:

• The term “non-comedogenic” is not regulated
• Many acne-causing ingredients have innocent-sounding names
• Ingredient lists are long, confusing, and often full of hidden triggers

A product may look beautiful, be backed by influencers, and still include:

• Isopropyl Myristate (Rating: 5 – yikes)
• Coconut Oil (Rating: 4)
• Algae Extract (sneaky pore-clogger)
• Red Dyes (D&C Red 30, etc.)
• Fragrance or “Parfum” (irritating AF)
