What if the real culprit behind stubborn acne isn’t hormones, stress, or skipped facials—but that “non-comedogenic” moisturizer sitting smugly on your bathroom shelf?
Roccoco Botanicals, an L+A Platinum Sponsor and long-standing innovator in advanced skincare, has just dropped a digital bombshell: the Comedogenicity App. This isn’t another beauty gimmick. It’s the first-ever tool designed to accurately identify pore-clogging ingredients—and it’s built on 15 years of hard science.

How Long-Term Treatment Plans Produce Advanced Skincare Correction
It’s no longer about booking a single facial or even committing to a series of treatments. Clients and patients are partnering with skincare professionals for lifetime skin health strategies. Professionals aren’t just service providers; they’re trusted guides who help their clients navigate the biological changes, environmental stressors, and lifestyle shifts that impact skin health across decades.
Think of it as a shift from one-off fixes to skincare mentorship. The role of the esthetician or medical skincare professional now extends beyond the treatment room, providing holistic planning, seasonal adjustments, and support through hormonal and life stage changes.
Why This App Changes Everything
Most acne sufferers wage an endless war: new products, endless treatments, and hope in a jar. The missing link? Knowing what ingredients are actually sabotaging skin health.
Unlike the sketchy, outdated “comedogenic lists” floating around online, this app is powered by real-world testing and professional formulation led by cosmetic chemist Jacine Greenwood. Think thousands of ingredients, tested on real skin, consolidated into one sleek app.
Greenwood puts it bluntly:
“We had the breakouts, so our users don’t have to. Most acne sufferers are unknowingly sabotaging their skin with products labeled as ‘non-comedogenic’ but that still contain pore-clogging ingredients. Our app eliminates the guesswork by showing what’s safe and what’s not—with accuracy you can trust.”
What Users Can Do With the App
- Instantly scan or search any ingredient for comedogenicity ratings
- Access a vetted database of thousands of tested ingredients
- Eliminate hidden pore-cloggers in skincare, haircare, and makeup
- Make confident choices for clear, healthy skin
The Bigger Picture
Acne affects a staggering 85% of people between ages 12 and 30—yet so many remain stuck in cycles of trial-and-error. By exposing the hidden culprits behind lingering breakouts, the Comedogenicity App gives consumers and pros a tool they’ve never had before: clarity backed by science.
