Ever feel like skincare ingredients are speaking their own secret language? 👀
AHA, BHA, retinoids… they’re all power players, but they help your skin in totally different ways. That’s why choosing the right one isn’t about trends — it’s about understanding what your skin actually needs.

Think of it like this:

🔹AHAs shine when your skin is feeling dull, textured, or just needs a glow-up moment.
🔹 BHAs are your pore-clearing, breakout-fighting duo partner.
🔹Retinoids are the long-game legends for smooth, youthful, clarified skin.

When you pair the right ingredient with the right skin type, your results don’t just improve — they transform. And at CATARA, we help you build a routine that’s strategic, intentional, and tailored to your skin’s vibe (not someone else’s TikTok algorithm 😂).

If you're unsure which one your skin is actually craving, our team can guide you through it during a consultation — no guesswork, just clarity.

Acne isn’t always about skincare.

If you’re breaking out along your hairline, jawline, neck, chest, or back, your hair products may be part of the problem. Heavy oils, waxes, and residue can transfer from hair to skin and clog pores — even when you’re using great skincare.

Avoid:
Emollients / Oils / Butters
Cocoa Butter
Coconut Oil / Coconut Butter / Coconut Alkanes
Cotton Seed Oil
Shea Butter
Soybean Oil
Wheat Germ Oil
Shark Liver Oil (Squalene)
(These can trap oil/debris in pores and contribute to acne.)

Fatty Esters & Alcohols:
Isopropyl Myristate
Isopropyl Palmitate
Isopropyl Linolate
Isocetyl Alcohol / Isocetyl Stearate
Isostearyl Isostearate
Myristyl Myristate
Myristyl Lactate
Oleyl Alcohol
(Often used as conditioning agents but can be comedogenic.)

PEGs / Ethoxylated Esters:
Disodium Monooleamido PEG-2 Sulfosuccinate
PEG 8 Stearate
PEG 16 Lanolin / PEG 200 Dilaurate
(These emulsifiers can clog pores, especially in acne-prone skin.)

Alcohols & Saturated Fatty Acids:
Cetyl Acetate
Cetearyl Alcohol + Ceteareth-20
Hexadecyl Alcohol
Stearic Acid
(Some “fatty” alcohols can contribute to buildup in pores.)

Other Comedogenic Ingredients:
Acetylated Lanolin / Ethoxylated Lanolin
Carrageenan / Irish Moss / Chondrus Crispus
Coal Tar
Lauric Acid
Propylene Glycol Monostearate
Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
D&C Reds ( #3, #17, #21, #30, #36)
(Dyes, sulfates, and lanolin derivatives may aggravate acne or irritate sensitive skin.)

At The Acne Clinic, we look at the full picture of skin health. That includes what touches your skin all day — not just what you apply intentionally.

Benzoyl Peroxide is one of the most effective acne treatments out there—but it also comes with quirks that can catch people off guard. That’s why understanding how it behaves on the skin is just as important as knowing how well it works.

This guide breaks down what’s normal, what to expect, and how to stay ahead of common challenges so your skin stays clear, calm, and consistent. When used correctly, BPO can be a game-changer in any acne routine—especially for teens and young adults navigating breakouts for the first time.

If acne has been messing with your glow, The Acne Clinic at CATARA is here to help you build a routine that actually works for your skin.
