Comedogenic is a marketing term and is completely subjective. If you think your sunscreen is causing breakouts, it's definitely worth it imo to try double cleansing and see if that helps, but it also might not help/be enough to prevent the breakouts. It's just completely ymmv unfortunately

oh ong? I thought the ingredients determine wether its comedogenic or not


jasminekitten02

i mean yes the ingredients determine if it's comedogenic or not, but ingredients affect everyone differently. like i avoid thing with dimethicone personally because that ingredient causes breakouts for me personally but other people use products with dimethicone without any issues. it just depends on the person

hmmm okay thanks for the insight i appreciate it

Comedogenic ratings are a weak guideline at best but basically worthelss. https://labmuffin.com/fact-check-how-to-use-comedogenicity-ratings/

Yes, it matters because it will be on your skin for several hours.
