Oils by Comedogenicity

Highly comedogenic (Most likely to clog pores)
Cocoa Butter
Olive Oil
Peach Kernel Oil
Squalene*
Soybean Oil
Wheat Germ Oil


Moderately comedogenic

Almond oil
Apricot Kernel Oil
Coconut Oil
Cotton Seed Oil
Grape Seed Oil
Mineral Oil
Peanut Oil
Sesame Oil
Vitamin E Oil


Mildly comedogenic

Avocado Oil
Castor Oil
Safflower Oil
Shea Butter
Sunflower Oil


Non-comedogenic (Least likely to clog pores)

Argan Oil
Hemp Oil
Jojoba Oil
Rosehip Oil
Squalane *


**Squalene and Squalane are both very similar oils, and both are found in human sebum. However, Squalane is non-comedogenic.

Comedogenicity can also depend on the amount of products you apply to your skin. You can have a skin care routine revolving around non-comedogenic ingredients, but heavy products that are non-comedogenic can still cause clogged pores.
For example, if you are using a thick cream moisturizer (not lotion/gel/serum) then you can skip using an oil (or add just a little drop to it.) Comedogenicity varies between each skin type and what other products you are pairing it with.

I use make-up wipes to remove face makeup. For eyes I use baby oil or any oil such a coconut oil. Afterward I use cetaphil daily facial cleanser. Sometimes I use a buffing sponge or facial brush. Since I'm acne prone I exfoliate with baking soda as needed. Afterward I use clean and clear 10% benzoyl cream on any spots and moisturize with cetaphil daily advance lotion. For masks I use the Aztec bentonite clay as a deep treatment mask and sometimes a turmeric honey mask. Those products have really made a dramatic difference in my skin.

Would micellar water + another cleanser be considered a double cleanse? I was interested in getting a micellar water but I'm not sure if it is considered a cleanser or just a makeup remover.
