These are great resources to really find out what is in your cosmetics. The first website is an ingredients analyzer, you copy and paste the list of ingredients into the analyzer and it tells you what is irritating or comedogenic in it. The zero zits website lists products commonly found in cosmetics. You will become familiar with what ingredients are good for your skin and what are not so that you can have that knowledge when you can't analyze everything with the other website. Therefore you will still be able to make impulse purchases at the store when you see a product you like.

I avoid anything that has the first 1/3 of ingredients that contains anything above a level 2 irritator or anything above a level 2 pore clogger.

Basically I learned that products alone are not the answer esp. when you are getting acne brought on by stress related elevated hormones. Adding products that are comedogenic can actually make it worse. I am going to try a new routine and get on the pill, so in the next 30 days I will do another experiment.

I am making 3 more videos that go right along with this one, it follows up on the things that I learned that were bad for my skin from my research. So I will make a video going through and telling you everything I use now and everything I took out and why. I will tell you the things I learned about the cosmetic industry and why you can't just go by what the packaging says. Then I am going to get into how hard it was to find a simple answer to the question what is non-comedogenic and what products fit that definition.

FTC: I bought everything unfortunately that I feature in the video with my own money. All opinions are my own. No one paid me to make this video.
