How we read it
Not pore-clogging
Not a pore-clogger. Considered safe for acne-prone skin.
Is Arginine comedogenic?
No. Arginine isn't considered pore-clogging, and we read it as safe to use on acne-prone skin. That doesn't make it right for everyone, but congestion isn't the thing to watch for with it.
Why we read it this way
An amino acid used to condition and balance pH. Inert for pore-clogging.
