What Makes a Product Acne-Safe?

Not all “clean” or “non-comedogenic” products are actually safe for acne-prone skin. Many still contain pore-clogging ingredients, hidden fragrance, or oils that can trigger breakouts.

At Acne Safe Finds, every product is vetted by a licensed esthetician and checked for:

No known comedogenic ingredients

No irritating essential oils or heavy fragrance

Backed by ingredient research, not hype

If it’s featured here, it’s something I’d trust on breakout-prone skin — and often recommend to clients in real life.
