How are clogged pores treated?

Most people can manage mild to moderate clogged pores by:

• Applying non-comedogenic face products: The term “non-comedogenic” means a product won’t clog pores. Look for cleansers, cosmetics and moisturizers that say “non-comedogenic” or “oil-free” on the label.
• Cleansing and moisturizing your skin regularly: Gently wash your face twice each day with a non-comedogenic cleanser and warm (not hot) water. Use an oil-free moisturizer after cleansing to avoid dry skin.
• Using products that contain retinol or salicylic acid: Retinol and salicylic acid help clear out dirt, oil and other debris clogging your pores. Some people find that these ingredients irritate their skin. Talk to your healthcare provider before using products that contain retinol or salicylic acid.
