A member asked:
What activities or remedies can help keep pores unclogged to avoid acne? are noncomedogenic makeups, lotions, or oils effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Myth: The idea that acne is caused by "clogged pores" is simplistic. I trust you are otherwise healthy; if you're a woman in your 30s and are asking about acne, ask yourself about other evidence of hormonal disturbance. Forget "pop" acne remedies. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician for something that can & manage till it self-cures. Best wishes
