Ingredient Checker
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.
Don't stop at skincare — check your makeup, hair products, and lip products too. Pore-clogging ingredients hide in all of them, not just your cleanser and moisturizer.
Although a skincare product may be free of pore-clogging ingredients, professional skincare has elevated formulas designed to get you the results you're looking for. Professional formulas are built to actively treat, correct, and improve your skin, not just avoid making it worse.
If you're still not achieving your goals with over-the-counter skincare, it may be time for a more targeted approach. Our estheticians can build a plan around your specific skin, not just what's on the shelf.

Book a ConsultationAnything listed in our Acne Safe category has already been verified and will not contribute to acne or clogged pores — a good place to look for replacements as you make swaps. Marketing terms like "non-comedogenic," "oil-free," "safe for acne-prone skin," or "won't clog pores" are not regulated terms, so always check any product not prescribed by your aesthetician before using it on your face, hair, or body.
