I've gotten some of my products to compare apple to apple with the above listed, if they have any of those ingredients. Here are the results:

1) Witch Clear Complexion moisturiser: Isopropyl Myristate
2) Coppertone Oil Free Sunscreen Lotion: None
3) L'Oréal Paris Dermo Expertise Gentle Lip and eye make-up remover: None
4) Bio-essence Face Lifting Cream: None

Yikes! The product I loved and trusted most (Witch moisturiser) has got one of the deadly ingredient! Unbelievable. Anyways it looks like the products I chose are rather safe from pore clogs. My recommendation are proven credible afterall. Wanted to check on my Chanel foundation too but realised I have discarded the packaging that has the ingredients printed on. Oh nevermind about that. Shall do that during my next purchase.

Of course, there are other reasons why zits and acne occurs. From your personal hygiene to your consumption to your choice of makeups used. This I've mentioned today is only a fraction that you can take note of. Other preventions can be found from the URL I mentioned above.
