Acne-causing ingredients
If you really should be pimple-free, you have to start with your cosmetics bag first. Examine your make-up, moisturizers, concealers, and anti-acne drugs from the drugstore for the following ingredients that cause acne:
(in English, mostly on the package)
- Butyl stearate
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Arachis Hypogaea
- Hexyne glycol
- Pinus
- Isopropyl ester
- Isopropyl myristate
- Cocoa Butter or Theobroma Cacao
- Cocos nucifera
- lanolin
- Acetylated lanolin alcohol
- lanolin
- Corn oil
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- octanol
- Olive oil
- Oleic acid
- petrolatum
- PEG-12
- Propylene Glycol Stearate
- Carthamus tinctorius
- Sulfur
- Sesamum indicum
- Stearic acid
- Heavy Mineral Oil or Pix Ex Carbone
I would really advise you, because the best acne therapy does not pay if you use makeup that is comedogenic! And unfortunately, these ingredients are often found in makeup, e.g. Manhatten Clearface includes some of them.
