Answer
Do Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, and Silky Serum Base cause clogged pores and acne?
Cyclomethicone and Dimethicone are types of silicones commonly used in cosmetic formulations. They are generally considered non-comedogenic, meaning they are unlikely to clog pores. These ingredients form a breathable film on the skin that provides a smooth feel without being heavy or blocking the pores.
Silky Serum Base contains these silicones and is formulated to be a light, quickly absorbing base. Due to its composition and design for a light skin feel, Silky Serum Base is also generally not expected to cause clogged pores or acne for most individuals.
While these ingredients are typically well-tolerated and non-comedogenic, individual skin reactions can vary.
