What is the effect of zinc oxide on acne and blocked pores?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ZINC OXIDE ON ACNE: Zinc oxide can sometimes make acne worse by further blocking the pores of the sweat glands. Cut down on nuts, peanut butter, chocolate, milk and all dairy products. If it doesn't get better, see a dermatologist.
