10 Top Non-Comedogenic Foundations For Acne-Prone Skin
Non-comedogenic products are ones which do not clog facial pores. A hard blockage can be created from an excess of sebum in a pore which can lead to whiteheads[1], blackheads and pimples. In fact, there is an amazing thread in Madam Gupshup which lists the comedogenic ratings[2] of different ingredients. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, you definitely need to check products having low comedogenic ratings. In today’s post, I will list some non-comedogenic foundations for acne-prone skin.
1. Maybelline Fit me! Matte + Poreless Foundation:[3]
My absolute favorite, it has been tried and tested for close to one-and-half years on my oily, acne-prone skin. While some foundations can exaggerate pores and oily skin, only Maybelline’s pore-minimizing foundation contains their genius blurring micro-powders that erase pores and absorb oil for a naturally matte and poreless-looking finish. It comes in an array of shades for Indian skin, and is a God-send for its oil-free smooth look.
2. L’Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Matte Foundation[4]:
A matte foundation that doesn’t look flat! This Infallible foundation is enriched with perlite technology, and reduces the appearance of shine up to 24 hours. Being of thin consistency, it is easy to apply and blend, without clogging your pores and giving a cakey look.
3. The Face Shop Oil Control Water Cushion Long-Lasting Moist Cover Foundation:[5]
This innovative K-beauty product is lightweight and gives the naturally flawless look without blocking your pores. The seamless natural looking finish never looks patchy and it does not emphasize dry patches or skin pores. It controls sebum and is thus a great daily choice for oily skin.
4. The Body Shop Matte Clay Skin Clarifying Foundation[6]:
This foundation has everything a girl with acne could ask for. The vegan foundation contains Moroccan Lava Clay which is a mineral-rich clay that helps in the treatment of dehydrated, sensitive skin and enlarged pores. This foundation also contains Tea Tree which is clinically proven to give you clearer skin. Being formulated without petrolatum and mineral oil, it is non-comedogenic. The foundation gives matte high coverage, long wear, breathable wear, shine free finish and no clogged pores.
