    Some skin and hair products are labeled as non-comedogenic. This term means that the products are made not to irritate your skin and clog your pores. You may find non-comedogenic moisturizers, creams, and shampoos that are less likely to cause pimples. The products vary, so choose one that is appropriate for your skin condition and type. Consider testing a small amount of the product first to make sure it works for you. If you have questions about acne or non-comedogenic products, talk to a dermatologist (a doctor who specializes in treating skin, nail, and hair conditions).
