Acne-safe skincare tool
Paste any product's ingredient list and we'll flag anything that can trigger breakouts.
Check what's already in your cabinet to decide what to keep using, and check anything new before you try it. Breakout triggers hide in skincare, makeup, toothpaste, supplements, food and even laundry detergent.
BetaWe're still fine-tuning this checker, so please treat the results as a guide.

Something you eat, drink or take that can trigger breakouts. Bring it to your next appointment, and check with your doctor before changing anything they prescribed or recommended.This tool offers general guidance based on ingredients commonly linked to clogged pores and breakouts. It is not a substitute for a skin consultation, and formulation, concentration, and individual skin can all affect how a product behaves.
Swap at your own pace
This tool is here to help you transition into a customized routine at your own pace. Some products you can simply use up as you would normally, while others are worth passing along to a friend and replacing right away. We'll help you make these swaps gradually, one product at a time, until your whole routine is working for your skin instead of against it.
Anything in our Acne Safe collection has already been verified and will not contribute to acne or clogged pores, so it's a good place to look for replacements.
Acne-safe isn't the finish line
A product can be free of pore-clogging ingredients and still not move your skin forward. Professional formulas are built to actively treat, correct, and improve your skin, not just avoid making it worse.
When over-the-counter isn't enough
If you're still not reaching your goals, it may be time for a more targeted approach. Our estheticians build a plan around your specific skin, not just what's on the shelf.
