To properly treat acne, one must first understand what causes it. When hair follicles and sebaceous glands become inflamed acne follows soon after.

There are many non-comedogenic products available today, including, makeup, foundation, moisturizers, sunscreen, lip stick, etc. If it's something that you apply to your skin you should be able to find a non-comedogenic version.
