In reply to JD. JD, experimenting is the correct approach. You can't tell from the ingredient list if something will break you out or not. You have to test the product and if it gives you pimples, figure out what ingredient is the culprit and avoid that. I wish there were an easier way!

In reply to Kendra K. Kendra, is your skin dry? Comedogenic ingredients don't bother dry skin as much as oily skin.

Thank you for this interesting article. I never bothered with comedogenic/noncomedogenic labelling. What break me out are using too many ingredients on my face and a number of green beauty/organic products. I should figure out which ingredients are the culprit but I was/am too lazy. I just remember which products and brands break me out and avoid them. I do know that any product with a lot of coconut oil will break me out (I grew up in a tropical country). I do test new products, on my chin because that’s the usual breakout site for me.

Thanks! I use coconut oil for makeup removing and overnight moisturizing in the summer and I never have any problems, though a lot of people say it’s comedogenic.
