The Comedogenic Scale

The comedogenic scale measures how likely an ingredient is to clog skin pores. It’s a simple numeric scale from 0 to 5. Numbers 2 and lower are generally safe for most people; however, those with sensitive skin or are prone to acne should watch where ingredients land on the scale.

  1. Does not clog pores
  2. Low
  3. Moderately low
  4. Fairly high
  5. High probability
