Hypoallergenic .vs. non-comedogenic? Whats the the difference?

Question

I was prescribed some things for acne and it says to use a lotion thats non-comedogenic. I have a Hypoallergenic lotion...is that good?

Answer 1

They are two different things. Hypoallergenic means a low chance of causing an allergic reaction. Non-comedogenic means it will not block your pores.

So, go to your drug store, walmart, target, etc. and buy a lotion that specifically states that it is non-comedogenic or won't block your pores. Some moisturizing non-comedogenic lotions are:
Olay Beauty Fluid
Neutrogena Oil Free Moisture
Loreal Active Daily Moisture Lotion
