Derms list the top pore-clogging ingredients worth nixing in your routine.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever used a new skincare product only to wake up with a fresh breakout the next morning, then you, my friend, have first-hand experience with pore-clogging ingredients. The trouble with finding formulas that won\u2019t make your face freak out is that it\u2019s not exactly a universal experience. That\u2019s because some people can fully tolerate many ingredients, whereas those with oily, acne-prone, and\/or sensitive skin are more reactive to certain formulas. That\u2019s why dermatologists recommend looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aad.org\/public\/everyday-care\/skin-care-basics\/dry\/oily-skin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">non-comedogenic products<\/a> (aka those that won\u2019t clog your pores) as a general rule of thumb for folks living with the aforementioned skin types.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Of course, if you\u2019re not well versed in ingredient deep dives, you may not know where to start\u2014or rather, what to avoid\u2014when it comes to pore-clogging ingredients. To help you out, we consulted a few dermatologists to uncover the most common culprits behind clogged pores. Ahead, learn what causes clogged pores and uncover 10 pore-clogging ingredients to steer clear of to help prevent a congested complexion.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-causes-clogged-pores\">What Causes Clogged Pores?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Pores can become clogged naturally and by way of skincare routines. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.montefiore.org\/doctors\/profiles\/1912296674\/kseniya-kobets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kseniya Kobets, MD<\/a>, the director of cosmetic dermatology at <a href=\"https:\/\/montefioreeinsteinadvancedcare.org\/cosmetic-dermatology-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Montefiore Einstein<\/a> in Westchester, New York, clogged pores are naturally caused by a build-up of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>dead skin cells<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sebum (the skin\u2019s natural oil)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>dirt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p>She points out that what you put on your skin (and how you wash it off) also plays a role. \u201cClogged pores can be further exacerbated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-to-get-rid-of-hormonal-acne\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">internal hormones<\/a> and an inflammatory diet,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The cause of clogged pores can also depend on your age. \u201cFor young people, it&#8217;s usually due to occlusion\u2014meaning stuff that clogs the pores,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zanddermatology.com\/provider\/sarvenaz-zand-md\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sarv Zand, MD<\/a>, a board-certified dermatologist based in Mill Valley, California. \u201cThen later in life\u2014I would say in our 40s and beyond\u2014our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/skin-cell-turnover\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">skin cells turn over less frequently<\/a>, and so the dead skin layer on the surface becomes thicker and that causes the pores to become less efficient at emptying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In addition, part of why products and build-up get trapped is due to impaired follicular development. \u201cFor people who struggle with acne, follicular development no longer remains straight and smooth,\u201d Dr. Zand explains, noting that when pores become kinked, debris more easily gets trapped, which leads to clogged pores and breakouts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"products-block -mx-4 md:mx-0

fester beneath the surface. When this happens, whiteheads, blackheads, papules, and pustules can rise to the surface, says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/drjeremybrauer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jeremy Brauer, MD<\/a>, a New York-based board-certified dermatologist, dermatologic surgeon, and founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/spectrumskinlaser.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spectrum Skin and Laser<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cA very clogged pore may turn into a nodule or cyst and can cause irritation, swelling, and may be painful to the touch,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-pore-clogging-ingredients-to-avoid\">10 Pore-Clogging Ingredients to Avoid<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Since clogged pores can become unsightly, uncomfortable, and even painful, it\u2019s best to prevent them at all costs. If you have oily, acne-prone skin, you can get ahead of the game by nixing the following pore-clogging ingredients from your skincare routine.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-algae\">1. Algae<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Algae is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which makes it an intensely hydrating ingredient for normal and dry skin. Yet according to Dr. Brauer, algae\u2014which is high in iodides\u2014can irritate the pore and cause <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/anti-inflammatory-lifestyle\/\">inflammation<\/a> for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin types. \u201cAlgae extracts can enter the pore and lead to micro-comedones,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-chemical-sunscreens\">2. Chemical Sunscreens<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s essential that everyone, regardless of their skin type, wears sunscreen each and every day, rain or shine. That said, if you have oily, acne-prone, or sensitive skin, Brauer suggests prioritizing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/chemical-vs-physical-sunscreen\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">physical sunscreens over chemical ones<\/a>. \u201cTo avoid breakouts, look for sunscreens with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/zinc-benefits\/\">zinc<\/a> oxide and titanium dioxide, which are non-comedogenic and non-irritating,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"related-block bg-lighter -mx-4 md:mx-0 p-4 md:p-6 grid grid-cols-2 gap-4 sm:gap-6 my-10\">\n\t<div class=\"col-span-2 text-xs font-semibold uppercase\">Related Stories<\/div>\n\t\n<article><a class=\"flex flex-col sm:flex-row group !no-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/does-sunscreen-cause-acne\/\">\n<div class=\"aspect-square bg-lighter mb-4 sm:mb-0 sm:mr-4 w-full sm:w-20 sm:shrink-0\">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/does-sunscreen-cause-acne-jpg-120x120.webp\" class=\"object-cover w-full block h-full transition-opacity group-hover:opacity-80 !mb-0 not-transparent wp-post-image\" alt=\"does sunscreen cause acne\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/does-sunscreen-cause-acne-jpg-120x120.webp 120w, https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/does-sunscreen-cause-acne-jpg-245x245.webp 245w, https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/does-sunscreen-cause-acne-jpg-302x302.webp 302w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" data-dominant-color=\"727274\" style=\"--dominant-color: #727274;\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"text-xs sm:text-base line-clamp-3 font-semibold group-hover:text-primary\">Does Sunscreen Cause Acne?

Coconut Oil<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Coconut oil is often found in sunscreens and moisturizers thanks to its hydrating properties. However, according to Drs. Kobets and Brauer, it\u2019s known to be a pore-clogging ingredient. \u201cAll types of coconut oil (extra virgin, fractionated, etc.) can block hair follicles and clog pores,\u201d Dr. Brauer explains. \u201cThis is a highly comedogenic ingredient, [as] it\u2019s a thick oil. The thicker the oil, the more difficult it is to be absorbed by your skin. It ends up sitting on top of your skin, creating a film layer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cInstead, use products to hydrate your skin with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/ceramides-for-skin\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">ceramides<\/a>, glycerin, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/hyaluronic-acid\/\">hyaluronic acid<\/a>,\u201d Dr. Kobets advises.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-kelp\">4. Kelp<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Like algae, kelp is high in iodine. According to Dr. Brauer, this makes it more likely to cause irritation, clogged pores, and acne breakouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"867d76\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #867d76;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/What-causes-clogged-pores-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition-jpg.webp\" alt=\"Woman applying lotion with shea butter, which is a pore clogging ingredient\" class=\"wp-image-35148 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-linolate-lanolin\">5. Linolate\/Lanolin<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Lanolin is a popular moisturizing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/skin-barrier\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">skin barrier-supporting<\/a> ingredient. \u201cIt helps prevent transepidermal moisture loss, which is what makes it a moisturizing agent. However, it contains a lot of fat and is thicker than human sebum, so it can seriously clog pores,\u201d Dr. Brauer warns.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-marula-oil\">6. Marula Oil<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Marula oil is majorly hydrating, hence why it\u2019s a popular ingredient in some of the most soothing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/what-serum-should-i-use\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">serums<\/a>. However, if you&#8217;re prone to excess oil and\/or breakouts, Dr. Brauer says to avoid it at all costs. \u201cMarula oil is high in oleic acid, making it incompatible for people with oily or acne-prone skin,\u201d he says. Alternatively, he recommends rosehip oil or jojoba oil.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-octyl-palmitate\">7. Octyl Palmitate<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>A derivative of palm oil, octyl palmitate is an emollient often found in creams and lotions. While tolerable by normal and dry skin, octyl palmitate is highly comedogenic, Dr. Brauer warns.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-petroleum\">8. Petroleum<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Petroleum is an age-old skincare staple thanks to products like Vaseline. More recently, the ingredient has seen a resurgence in popularity thanks to the viral slugging trend, in which it (or another occlusive) is applied as the last step in a skincare routine to seal everything in. \u201cWhile occlusive ingredients like petroleum are great for locking in moisture in the skin, they can also lock in oils, dirt, and inflammation,\u201d Dr. Kobets warns.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>To avoid such a situation, she suggests stocking your skincare routine with ceramides if you have oily, acne-prone skin. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3970828\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Recent evidence<\/a> shows that acne-prone skin is deficient in ceramides and has a skin barrier dysfunction even if skin feels oily,\u201d she shares. \u201cUsing products with ceramides to repair the skin barrier will balance out the skin and help control acne before prescription topicals are needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Consider supplementing with HUM&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/50\/mighty-night\/\" target=\"_self\"

id=\"h-9-shea-butter\">9. Shea Butter<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Shea butter is a popular hydrating ingredient often found in body lotions and creams. But if you struggle with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/causes-of-body-acne\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">body acne<\/a>, Dr. Kobets says to avoid it, as it&#8217;s a pore-clogging ingredient. Again, she recommends reaching for products rich in ceramides, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid to adequately hydrate your skin from head to toe without risking breakouts in the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-silica-silicone\">10. Silica\/Silicone<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Silica is the main ingredient in silicone, and dimethicone is a silicone-based polymer. All of these ingredients are no-gos for oily, acne-prone skin. While these ingredients are admittedly great for moisturizing skin and creating a smoother-looking appearance, they\u2019re occlusive, says Dr. Kobets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-takeaway\">The Takeaway<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>All things considered, the effects of the pore-clogging ingredients shared above can vary from one person to the next. While some may be comedogenic and irritating for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin types, they may be totally tolerable for normal and dry complexions.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cGenerally speaking, the thicker a cream or ointment is, the more likely it is to be occlusive,\u201d Dr. Zand says. With that in mind and when in doubt, she suggests paying attention to a product&#8217;s texture for a quick indication of how it could affect your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"cta-block -mx-4 md:mx-0 my-10 p-px md:rounded bg-white text-black relative  bg-no-repeat bg-cover aspect-[83\/48]\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BlogBackground_Quiz.jpg);\" >\n\n\t<div class=\"p-4 sm:p-6 w-[70%] md:w-2\/3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-2xl md:text-3xl font-display font-bold uppercase\">Build Your Supplement Routine<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn-large btn-primary mt-4 md:mt-8 !no-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/get_started\" target=\"_blank\">Take The HUM Quiz<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Struggle with excess oil, breakouts, or skin sensitivity?
