Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This leads to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. The main factors that contribute to acne include excess oil production, bacteria, inflammation, and hormonal fluctuations.
Acne is a prevalent dermatological condition that affects individuals of all ages, leading to both physical and psychological impacts. As a result, there is a growing demand for effective anti-acne cosmetic formulations. In this article, Alfa Chemistry introduces several ingredients that may exacerbate acne, popular anti-acne active ingredients, and a quick guide to choosing the right anti-acne ingredients for cosmetic formulations.
Certain cosmetic ingredients have been known to exacerbate acne by clogging pores or irritating the skin. Some common culprits include mineral oil, coconut oil, lanolin, and cocoa butter. These ingredients have a high comedogenic rating, meaning they are likely to cause breakouts in susceptible individuals. Additionally, ingredients like isopropyl myristate and certain alcohols may contribute to pore blockage and aggravate acne. It is essential to avoid these ingredients in acne-prone skin care products.

Benzoyl peroxide kills acne-causing bacteria and reduces excess oil production. It is commonly used to treat inflammatory acne lesions.
Retinoids, such as tretinoin and adapalene, regulate skin cell turnover, prevent clogged pores, and reduce inflammation. They are effective in treating both acne and acne scars.
Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, helps to regulate sebum production, reduce inflammation, and improve the skin barrier function. It is beneficial for treating acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
