Is your skincare truly acne friendly?

Let's test it below! All the ingredients listed below are rated between a 2-5 on the comedogenic scale! A score of 2 may be fine for some but to keep it super acne friendly I've included all 2s. The higher an ingredient is on the label the higher chance it can clog pores. Example: Tocopherol (2) or Ascrobyl Palmitate (2) at the end of the label is fine but if it’s the second or third ingredient it may not be ideal. All you have to do is input your skincare ingredients like this: E.g. Aqua, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Lauryl, jojoba oil and press enter.
