Pore-Clogging Ingredient Checker

Copy and paste your product(s) ingredients lists into our analyzer tool below to find out if it’s acne safe or potentially contains a pore-clogging ingredient. 

We built a whole new ingredient analyzing tool with our partner company MyAcneCoach® to help bring more technology to our customers. It is important to check for pore-clogging ingredients before using any personal care products on your face, skin or hair.

We make it easy for you to check pore-clogging ingredients in your skin care, makeup and personal care products. After pasting your list below, click “analyze” or “go” on mobile devices and get the results. If something is pore-clogging, it will appear below with a red “X” next to it.
