Sodium PCA Comedogenic Rating: 0/5

Low riskHumectantIrritancy 0/5

On the 0–5 comedogenic scale, Sodium PCA is rated 0 out of 5.

What a 0/5 rating means

On the comedogenic scale, a 0 means it will not clog pores for essentially anyone, including very acne-prone skin. That places Sodium PCA in the range most people, including many with acne-prone skin, tolerate well.

One thing the number cannot tell you is concentration. Ingredients are listed in descending order, so Sodium PCA near the end of a label is present in tiny amounts and matters far less than the same ingredient near the top.
