Accepted Answer

For most people, glycerin will not clog pores and is defined as non-comedogenic.  However, some individuals with conditions linked to clogged pores (i.e. acne), may experience worsening of their condition with glycerin.  Additive ingredients may also help or cause further clogging of pores (comedogenic).  It is best to seek evaluation from a medical provider for an accurate assessment.

Question 3

What's the best way to treat a sunburn on your face without clogging pores and preventing pimples?

Accepted Answer

While most sunscreens are oil based, they should not have too much of an effect on acne.  You may do better with the zinc or titanium oxide screens as well.  Ideally wide brimmed hats, sitting in shade, wearing appropriate sunglasses, and avoiding excess sun exposure is your best bet.  Be especially careful if you take Doxycycline for acne which can make your skin more susceptible to burn.

Question 5

Can jojoba oil be used on face as an aftershave and moisturizer without clogging pores or irritation?

Accepted Answer

Any face product needs to say "noncomedogenic" which means it does not block pores and cause blackheads or zies (comedones).  Also, irritation can vary from person to person. There may be all kinds of other substancs in your particular brand of jojoba oil  that also can irritate or block pores. Since there are a lot of products out there for faces, get a moisurizer that says it's "noncomedogenic."

Question 8

I haveused a facial wash for a long time and love it. i read about triethanolamin and tea stearate being pore clogging. its in my wash. are they bad?

Accepted Answer

A commercial product survives in the marketplace because some people find it helpful & spread the word and or continue buying it. Any product may contain a combination of components that by themselves may trigger problems in some but not others. If it works for you I would ignore the issue and enjoy the product.
