For those of you with Adult Acne, this is real information you don't want to miss!
I’m sure
you’ve seen this term before.
Comedogenic.
Let's break it down;
Comedogenic.
Let's break it down;
comedo = an impaction of varying
size containing a mixture of sebum (fancy name for our skin’s oil) and dead
skin cells, often known as a “blackhead”;
genic = creating.
The scientific term for “blackhead” is Comedo
(many, like me, say Comedone). The start
of every acne pimple is a microscopic blackhead, known as a Microcomedone,
which is actually in many of our pores, but doesn’t always develop enough to
lead to a full blown zit. A comedogenic
ingredient makes the process so much worse, it can aggravate an acne condition,
or even start one.
