How we read it
Not pore-clogging
Not a pore-clogger. Considered safe for acne-prone skin.
Is Octisalate comedogenic?
No. Octisalate 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
A UVB sunscreen filter and solvent for other filters. Not pore-clogging.

One ingredient rarely tells the whole story. The acne ingredient checker reads everything in a product at once, and there is more on what comedogenic means. Also in the guides: The types of acne lesions.
