CLOGGING INGREDIENTS
This list
is from Dr. James Fulton MD Ph.D. in dermatology. He is nationally and
internationally known for his acne fighting research and products. He
is also one of the researchers in the invention of Retina-A. This list
is of some typical skin care product ingredients. Each ingredient has
been categorized 0 to 5. 0 meaning the ingredient will not clog your
pores. 5 meaning the ingredient is very clogging to your pores.
Remember, when skin care products list ingredients on their label they
are listed in order of relative amount. That is, the first ingredient
listed is what there is the most of in the product. The second listed
ingredient is what there is the second most amount of in the product
and so on to the last ingredient listed which there is the least amount
of. Keep in mind if a category 3 ingredient is listed sixth on the
label you may not clog from it, but if it is the first or second listed
ingredient you may clog up and break out from use of that product.
