Expertise in Comedogenic Ingredient Analysis
The comedogenic scale was developed by dermatologists testing how different ingredients affect pore behavior in laboratory and clinical settings. An ingredient with a rating of 0 to 2 is considered low risk for most people. Ratings of 3 to 5 are progressively more likely to clog pores and trigger acne, especially in skin types prone to breakouts. The scale isn’t perfect since individual skin reactions vary, but it remains the best available framework for screening products before they cause damage.
This tool maintains an up to date database of comedogenic ratings drawn from peer reviewed dermatology research and respected skincare science sources. When you paste an ingredient list, every ingredient gets matched against this database and rated accordingly. The output gives you a clear breakdown of which ingredients are safe, which are borderline, and which are likely to cause breakouts. This is the same kind of analysis professional estheticians do manually when building product recommendations for acne clients.
