I dare you to say “non-comedogenic moisturizer” 5 times as quickly as possible. It’s a mouthful, isn’t it? I’m honestly not trying to shove another product down your throat. Let’s break it down.

The word ‘non-comedogenic’ refers to anything that does not block your pores and lead to the formation of comedones. Comedones are hair follicles that are clogged by skin debris and oil. They eventually lead to acne. For all you know, they could also be worsening your acne. Since a moisturizer is one of the most important products that you apply to your skin, it should not be comedogenic. Here are the best non-comedogenic moisturizers available on the market right now. Check them out!

After working in Marketing and Business Development for a few years, Pratima Ati jumped ship to pursue two things she loved – fashion and writing. She’s now a full-time Fashion & Lifestyle writer and has never looked back ever since. She sleeps early, reads often, and when she can't, she finally gives a closure to all the characters living in her drafts. Sometimes, they pass off as poetry too! That, and her training in Indian classical music and playing (learning) the veena keep her sane, civil, and bearable.
