non-comedogenic
Pores stay clear
Non-comedogenic describes skincare or cosmetic products formulated not to clog pores.
Comedones are the plugs of oil and dead skin that form blackheads and whiteheads, so non-comedogenic products claim to avoid triggering them: Look for a non-comedogenic moisturizer if you're acne-prone.
The term is a marketing claim rather than a regulated standard.
