Non-comedogenic is skincare’s way of saying "I promise not to clog your pores".

The word comes from comedo, which refers to a clogged hair follicle, AKA a blackhead or whitehead. So, when a product is labelled non-comedogenic, it means it’s been formulated without ingredients known to block pores or trigger breakouts.


This is especially important for acne-prone, oily, or sensitive skin types, where congestion can lead to flare-ups or texture issues. Think of it as a way to keep your skin barrier breathing easy, without sacrificing hydration or performance.


In short, non-comedogenic just means the formula has been thoughtfully designed to do its job without making matters worse, especially when paired with skincare tech like microneedling or EMS, where open micro-channels make your skin extra absorbent.
