Is it possible for comedogenic products to alter skin chemistry and therefore cause acne? Or is this at least possible in teens whose hormones already mean that it's easier to disturb the balance of their skin?
I ask this because until my skin broke out, for about two years I always used gradual self-tanners (I was snow white) and some of them were terribly perfumed and heavy. They never caused issues, but suddenly my face broke out and never got better. I even wondered if it was an allergic reaction, but I was told this isn't possible because I would've had the reaction two years earlier when I began using such products.
So... can pore-clogging or heavily-chemical-based products cause an acne condition? Or was my acne pure coincidence?
