The most obvious answer is to avoid oil. Henry says that you should avoid oils like coconut oil, which is known to clog pores, and alcohol, which can cause dryness and irritation.

You may think it’s only oil that you need to worry about, but that’s not the case, according to Charles. “In addition to looking for non-comedogenic skincare and cosmetics products, people with acne-prone skin should also avoid cosmetics that include ingredients like myristyl myristate, laureth-4, isopropyl myristate, silicones, and sodium lauryl sulfate,” advises the derm. “When it comes to these ingredients, they can lead to unnecessary inflammation and irritation and can result in a comedonal outbreak, especially in individuals with acne-prone skin.”
