    Some skin and hair products are labeled as non-acnegenic. The label means that the products are made not to clog your pores. Non-acnegenic products such as moisturizers, creams, and shampoos are less likely to irritate your skin or make your acne worse. They are less likely to cause pimples. The products vary, so choose one that is appropriate for your skin condition and type. Test a small amount to make sure it works for you. Talk to a dermatologist about using non-acnegenic products to help prevent acne.
