The number one cause of clogged pores and acne? Makeup. In particular, foundations and concealers tend to be comedogenic, i.e they clog your pores, leading to acne, which in turn, makes you feel the need to cover it up with makeup – it’s a vicious cycle. And how do you break out of the cycle? By switching to non-comedogenic makeup! If you’ve ever seen a product with a label that says “non-comedogenic”, it basically means that the product is non-clogging and safe for acne-prone skin. What makes a non-comedogenic product even better is when it also has skincare ingredients, like vitamin E or hyaluronic acid, to make your skin better as you wear the product. If you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, then continue on reading to find out the best non-comedogenic makeup products in Singapore so you can look good without sacrificing your skin’s health!
