Safe or Sneaky: What’s Really Hiding in Your Skincare?

I get asked all the time by clients if certain products are “good” for them, and honestly… there’s no straight answer. What really matters is the ingredients inside those products. Labels like “non-comedogenic” or “oil-free” might sound promising, but the truth is, there’s no strict regulation behind those claims. A pore-clogging ingredient is still a pore-clogging ingredient. That’s why I created the Skincare Ingredient Checker to make things easier for both of us! Grab your face wash, serum, even your body scrub, plug in the ingredients, and see if anything on that list could be working against your skin instead of for it.

Skincare Ingredient Checker

How does the Skincare Ingredient Checker work?

This tool breaks down your product’s ingredient list and checks it against a database of known pore-clogging culprits. You can enter ingredients one at a time, and the checker will flag any that aren’t “acne-safe.” If none are found, it will let you know your product is good to go. It’s a simple way to cut through the confusion and make smarter choices for your skin.
