How we read it
Not pore-clogging
Not a pore-clogger. Considered safe for acne-prone skin.
Is Squalane comedogenic?
No. Squalane 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 lightweight, stable emollient widely recommended as an acne-safe alternative to heavier oils.
